So Tampon remains the Saints' beotch, even with TB at the helm !!!

I recently read an article that had input from several analyst's. We finished 12-4 or 13-3 by each writer after breaking down each teams advantages. We are a strong team that is built to win now. We've got all the pieces in place to field a dominant team....if everyone stays healthy and plays full time. We have decent depth at most positions but if we lose a starter at corner we won't be the same team. We can go toe to toe with anyone with our starters!
In my opinion if we are healthy and motivated this team can beat every one on our late season schedule.

What concerns me a lot right now is if we have to play games without fans. The Saints get a great deal in hfa because of the noise in the Dome. If there are no fans, how much less is hfa. Now, the Saints still have a great roster, but without fans that first game against Tampa gets tougher.

Good news is the home game against the Chiefs is late enough in the season that fans hopefully are back in the stands for that one.

But I am concerned that one element that has made the Saints great at home could be a non factor early in the season.

Same goes for every team though.

The winner of the NFC will have to go 13-3, no less, as the top teams' rosters in each conference (SF, NO, DAL, MIN in the NFC and KC, BAL, TEN, BUF in the AFC) are that stacked...
