None of those are as good as Brees. Advantage Saints.

19-0 Baby!

Let’s be realistic. Great team last year but they were huge overachiever? A lot like 2006. It’s doubtful our ground game will be as spectacular and Drew has got to show some more drop off and inaccuracy in his game.
We have a very tough schedule.
8-8, 9-7 at best.

Don't entirely disagree, but I think that's a bit light. Schedule is tough, but the team is better and more rounded than we have had for a number of years. I go 12-4 in the regular season. JMHO....

The Dude views the Saints in a worst case scenario. It is how he rolls. I guess if you set your expectations way, way low it lessens the chances for disappointment.

19-0 Baby!

Pardon me, but I feel they underachieved. They left a lot on the table. I expect our ground game to be even more effective given an extra year to establish and I fully expect Brees to remain at the top of his game, just as he has for the past decade plus.

And what is so tough about the Saints' schedule? It is virtually the same as the other teams in our division and the Saints are better than all of them, NFC South or otherwise. They all have their faults and weaknesses.

Ready for another sure loss bet? I say they top that 9-7 that you claim is their best. I love free money. $20 again?

19-0 Baby!
