Many of us feel the same way, Baby...

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints Schedule

If we didn't play in the NFC South we'd have more Super Bowls. I think we have played in the toughest division in football over the last 15 years by a large margin.

I'd love to see Tampa Bay moved to the AFC South, Move Colts (old NFC team) back to the NFC East, and move Dallas to the NFC South...

Atlanta, Carolina, Dallas, New Orleans - oh, Baby! Would that be sweet!

Hitta, I believe it's made us a better team; what's hurt us more than anything is the secretive, behind-closed-doors, schedule manipulation the NFL employs...

Playing Dallas at their house at the 3rd game of 3 games in 13 days was absolutely ridiculous and totally non-defensible for the NFL to have allowed it to happen...

NFL schedule makers argue that east and west coast teams are put at a disadvantage and is their reasoning for doing it - that's total horsesh!t.

Those coastal teams divisional games are less than a two-hour flight and long flight games or int'l games could be scheduled around byes...

A Rec-League Coordinator could devise a permanent rotating home-away schedule where divisional, rival games begin, end the season, with interconference games in the middle, conference games bracketing those...

And with Free Agency changing the fortunes of teams overnight, it's ridiculous to try and maximize ratings - leave the schedule a permanent rotating one...

It is the toughest division because of Drew Brees and Sean Payton. These teams were built to beat the Saints which explains why it is such a tough division. Fortunately, Ryan buckles under pressure, Newton is a soft primo donna and Winston is an idiot that can't lead his team and is a sub par QB.

In the NFC South the QB's are the weak spot out side of New Orleans. The rest of the teams in our division are built to beat us and play a tough game every time. Heck, they still sneak up on us once in a while!

However, we keep getting substantially better every since Ireland's arrival with the Saints and the division just can't keep up again. We also have the best coaching staff in the division since Payton cut his cronies that won him a Super bowl. Our position coaches could be the best in the NFL and I'm still shocked that we have maintained our coaching staff since we stopped going 7-9.
