Does all the love we are getting make anyone extremely nervous?

Maybe its living through some of the truly terrible Saints years, but its still hard sometimes to get used to how good we are now. The chicken little in my soul is just waiting for things to go wrong.

This morning on the ride into work I was flipping radio stations and I got to Mike and Mike. I stopped because they were picking NFC winners. Greenberg picked the Saints. Schlereth picked the Saints. Golic had the Saints in his top 3 but went Eagles, and said he would not be surprised at all if the Saints won the NFC (along with Seattle).

MMQB has a bunch of writers picking the Saints. I've heard multiple other personalities picking us.

I mean, that's awesome and all, but for some reason that just makes this first game all the more nerve wracking to me. Am I alone in this?

No, I'm fine with it. It doesn't matter. Everyone picked Seattle last year and it came to fruition. I'm not nervous about the season. I think we'll do well. If we slip up, I have plenty else going on in my life, so no anxiety. I'm just going to enjoy football.

There's really no reason to believe anyone can stop us this season, so I'm ok with the hype train.

Our team will be full of swagg and under SP I've never worried about their focus or intensity.

I feel like if we weren't getting so much love then everyone will be complaining about how we are always overlooked and disrespected

No.

After bountygate and wiregate I tune all these media sh!t heads out.

See M Sams for latest sports media BS.

Just win the next game, fight for home field and get in the playoffs.

This super bowl is in the bag. I'm more concerned about the 3 peat.

No, because unlike other hyped teams, the Saints have substance, depth and an incredibly solid braintrust in Drew Brees, Sean Payton, Rob Ryan and Pete Carmichael. It will just come down to execution and getting a little luck having the NFC go through New Orleans in the playoffs. But this team is a Super Bowl contender.

Nope, because I know how good we've been and believe this is our most talented team ever. Barring injury, a Saints/Seahawks NFCCG has a very high probability of happening. Let's just hope we get them here this time

I'd rather be the underdog

Not nervous. I don't put much stock in what the talking heads say. Actions on the field speak louder. I'm quietly confident.

Not really. Our defense will be even better, our schedule has our tough match ups at home, and we have DB and the offense. Championship year motherfrickers

We are def the Flavor of the Month. I would much prefer to be somewhat underdogs . It all starts Sunday without home field we have no chance IMO
