Seriously??? Carolina is better how? Tampa is better with a suspended QB coming out the gate? Atlanta will be good and a challenge as always. We have a great coaching staff. We have improved the defense over last year. We have 4 starting caliber running backs. TE is stop-gap for sure; I don't see us going 8-8 at all. This team has the mojo back and it's apparent. They're going to do well this year. Our scheduling was grueling last year too and we went on an 8 game run.

I have to agree here. The 2018 Saints still have the same fundamental elements from last year to make a deep run:

1. A potent running attack with an O-line that's top 5 in the league.
2. A defense that can finally hold its own. Watch out if the turnover machine
gets cranked up.
3. Drew Brees.

I'll give you this my friend. You are the eternal optimist!

I'm feeling more cautious than that because of our schedule and slow start at training camp. I'm hoping for 12-4 but I feel that 11-5 is where we will finish again this year and won't have home field advantage......although, I desperately want HFA again. Hey, it worked last time.

NFC as a whole is brutal this season. I'm hoping we get out of the gate early & dominate. Secure home field advantage, then it's on.

13-3.

The most telling part of the season, I feel, will be the three games in twelve days section. That is tough...Just ask Jim Thorpe and Red Grange.
I would not say that's tough, more like traps if anything. We have no reason to lose to Cincinnati, unless we sleep on them, or Atlanta at home on three days rest. Eagles won't be like last year.
