I agree with you fellas that Atlanta will be our biggest test, I have felt this way for months.

They pretty much had the same kind of 7-9 year we used to have, being crippled with injuries and losing close winnable games.

Considering that with the exception of losing Ingram and the injury to Rankins, the Saints will start the season on par or better at nearly every position, with the receiving corps seeing a major upgrade. The main question is see is if McCoy can step in for Unger.

100% agree. Everyone keeps going on about the non-call but for me, our season was lost last year when the offense declined and hit the floor hard following the Dallas game. Something broke in the offense with that Dallas game and it was never fixed. Lack of depth came back to haunt us big time and would've been a key factor in the SB vs a Patriots team that would've game planned to take away our only two weapons on offense.

Adding Cook and expanding on WRs was key this off season to preventing this from happening again.

It all comes down to now if we have the same hunger from last year, can avoid injuries and how Brees holds up at 40 years old. Brees is my biggest concern after watching Manning in his last year.
