Are the Saints Super Bowl contenders this year?

Currently, 72% No, 28% Yes.



Do people really not think we're contenders or they mad because of the bounties?

IMO, there's no way you could say the Saints aren't a top 3 team in the NFC and top 6 in the league.

People say no because the Saints are missing their head coach and are going to miss the assistant head coach and GM for the first 8 games. There's legitimate reason for fans outside of the Saints to be negative about our upcoming season. However, as a Saints fan, I choose not to agree with them

It shows how hard people swallow the media these days. We have lost the art to THINK for ourselves.

They will have to chew on it for sure. I'm ready to watch them backtrack on what they've said and laugh

Also, if you vote, you will see a map of the USA. If you hover over the states with your mouse, it shows the percentages per state. EVERY STATE except Texas , Alabama , and Connecticut are below 30% in "YES". These 3 states had anywhere from 30 to 33 percent in "YES".

That just shows that the Saints really are against the world at this point. Which is going to fuel the fire. To hell with em. I hope they run the score up on every team they face this year and make them know that no matter how much bitching and complaining and voting they do, they can't stop the Saints!!!!!

If they happen to raise the Lombardi over their heads, the haters will slowly back into their holes and come back out saying they knew they could do it. frick em.......

I feel like head butting my monitor ......

This.
They just don't understand how much of our core players are still here from the superbowl team or how great the leadership is on our team.

I also don't think they get that the NFC South isn't exactly a powerhouse conference and this is going to help us greatly.

This year will be like a lot of recent years. Our team will go as far as Drew will take us.

They want to be us, and that bothers/scares them.

Even accounting for the hanging chads, N.W.Fl. is still firmly in the yes!
