I know I'm a homer, but as I look at the schedule I truly only see a handful of games in which I think the Saints have equal or less talent than plus considering the home and away factor.

I think this games are still winnable but I give the advantage to the opponent in the following games:

Patriots
@ Panthers
@ Packers
@ Falcons

I give the Saints the advantage in every other game.

If we come out the first four games at 2-2 or better, we are absolutely golden.

Tampa still has a very inefficient QB who makes a lot of mistakes.


Don't see how they are MUCH improved.

It's preseason, but the Falcons aren't impressing me.

I suspect a hangover season, a la the Panthers.

2-2 being good, 3-1 is the ceiling. Vikings, Dolphins are winnable. They always play well against the Pats. Division games are always a toss up. I hope we steal one of those two.

3-1 in the next 4 (Lions, Pack, Bears, Bucs) is doable.

Bills, Skins, Rams, Panthers - 3-1 again, doable.

Falcons, Jets, Falcons, Bucs - 2-2, 3-1 being great.

10-6 is reasonable, 12-4 being great.

Yeah, they do some good work sometimes.

But their starters allowed 17 points in one quarter week three.

I feel like Julio won't make the season fully healthy.

If we go 4-2 in the division, it means that we've had a great year

I upvoted, but only agree partly. Winston is not proven in my mind, but desean Jackson has been one of the most underrated players since he entered the league. He is dangerous as hell. coupled with mike Evans, it's a little bit scary.

Also, some studs on that D.

Winston was 13th in the league in total QBR... This was ahead of Philip Rivers, Russell Wilson, and Derek Carr. I know QBR isn't the end all be all, but the kid was only 22 years old last season. Tampa also added DeSean Jackson and OJ Howard to their roster which will improve his downfield passing.
