Duece's 1700 yards and our very possible 11-5 record
 

i think Duece can run 1700+ with our addition of Brown and Mayberry....
and with our schedule our D can handle most of the teams....

RE: Duece
 

I can see Deuce with 1600 rushing yards and around 2000 total yards. Our D still has a lot to prove so a 11-5 record seems a tad bit high... although I like your positive thinking. In my opinion a 9-7 or 10-6 record seems attainable and a wildcard berth is very possible.

RE: Duece
 

I will predict a wild card berth. I have no clue how many games it will take but i do believe we will have just enough.

RE: Duece
 

Too many ifs in the middle of the defense to make an accurate prediction just yet. I like our offense, but the loss of Pathon may be more damaging than we think. I am optimistic, but still wary.

we could be 11-5. then again we could be 5-11. more then likely we will either start quick out of the gate and loose our legs or we will be slow out of the gate and fall a little short. but i would just love to see us play good in december and watch a playoff game.

i consider myself a positive person, but i dunno bout 11-5. Billy, is that you?

thats funy fire

there was a time when Bergmann used to predict whiners vs Buffalo every year...

..in that spirit, my fearless prediction is:

8-8

tobias thats safe. lol. if i had to put money on it i might agree

hey alot of those games are winable....only a few of those teams are playoff bound

... well, it is not only that the Saints have a lot of "ifs", I'm looking at the schedule, and see a lot of "if" teams also...

Carolina - last year they were decimated by injuries... then we had the added bonus of opening in Carolina with all the emotion of Mills' passing and Fields relapse... assuming that the Saints are going to sweep them is a little "too optimistic" for me..

Atlanta - beating the Vicks in december in Atlanta? ... guess the expectation is that by then Atlanta would have the division like last year?

Buffalo - the past years, the AFC has been much more stronger than the NFC. Buffalo had a bad record last year, but look at the division they play in... they have a decent running game..

Chicago - a team that also has lots of "ifs" and had injuries last year...

... I don't want to go team by team, but my point is that I see few games where I see a more than probable win...
