Its like talking to a wall. I give up.

Loss Buffalo-Up and coming team with great D. Loss Miami-Nick Saben, good defense, Ronnie Brown - Loss New York Jets-Better coach, better QB, Loss Minn-Awesome offseason, Loss Green Bay-Better QB, better RB, Better defense, Loss Detroit-team on the rise, coming together-Loss Chicago-After Miami loss, and before bye week? Loss St Louis-Better RB, better Defense, better coach, better QB,-Loss NY Giants-Better QB, better RB, Better Coach, Better defense,-Loss Yup, what was I thinking? 0-16 is obvious to anyone with a brain. |

Here's a thought, when you see the name "Danno" don't read it.
It works the same as an ignore button if used properly. |

Danno - you're doing a fantastic job in your new role as white wizard!!!
http://www.blackandgold.net/site/ind...ghlight=wizard Look man, I think that this team has the talent to be 11-5, maybe better. But it also has the coaching, discipline, and find a way to lose spirit that makes me think they can be 5-11. That said, whether you take the average, go by recent history, or simply ask, is there really any way the Saints will give me something other than the worst case - you come out to 8-8. I just can't imagine a world with the Saints winning and an owner not threatening to leave. Sometimes I try to think about the late 80s and early 90s, but that just seems like a dream now. |

Here is how I think the season will go down... I think its mostly in Sheppards hands. Mike feels he is going to make a name for himself. If he does well then we are in the playoffs. If not we are going to be sitting at 6 wins at best. The improvements on D are going to be noted but its Sheppard who this is going to make or break us.

Tampa-2 wins we always play them hard
Carolina-2-I think we can sweep them this year. The whole Jake thing means another level of play. Atlanta- we will split. We've played them close in past years. That's 5 wins for the division. NYG-Win-Eli still learning the hard way. STL- win team on decline and weak offensive line. Martz will blow up. CHI-win I forsee injuries on that team.Grossman is coming off injury and mushin is old. Bensen is new to nfl so expect a sprain. DET- Loss This years Chargers GB- Loss - old man goes out in style and is playing us in Lambeau MIN- Loss-winable but Dante is a competitor NE- Loss- you know why. NYJ - Win-Their loss alowed us to not make the playoffs. revenge is sweet. BUF- win-I don't know much about this team but it's a home game so advantage us. MIA- Win - with or without ricky So that's 11 wins if i counted correctly. i'll take a +/- 1 |

Compare the out-of-division schedule to last year's ...
2004 - 2005 San Diego (12-4) L - NE Denver (10-6) L - NYJ Seattle (9-7) L - NYG Minnesota (8-8 ) L - MIN St. Louis (8-8 ) W - STL Kansas City (7-9) W - GB Dallas (6-10) W - BUF Arizona (6-10) L - DET Oakland (5-11) W - CHI San Francisco (2-14) W - MIA Based on how well I expect our opponents to do this season, I'd say the schedule is slightly harder this year. That's why I think the divisional games are even more crucial this year. They need to win those games, ESPECIALLY in the dome. |

Good call tobias. Danno wants opinions, but only the ones that will blow smoke up everyone's ass. IF you don't pick 10-6 or higher, you are a pessimist. Someone remind me what our record is the last 4 years? 32-32? Every team in the division got better, Minn got better, last I checked Green Bay still had Favre and Green, NYJ was a playoff team last year and got Coles back, who is better than Moss. Yeah they look worse. They even have a kicker who can boom it. But listen to Danno everyone, 16-0, no even better 19-0 cause we will waltz through the playoffs and the Superbowl. Don't let that smoke being blown burn your ass though.
