With any semblance of a pass rush and competent LB play, I'm saying over 8 wins with room to spare.

Will reserve pinning down a win total after preseason camp starts.

7-9

Same players, same results.

If I had to bet money on it...I'd take the over.

That is assuming Fairley plays. If we lose him, that's a huge blow.

7-9 teams lose games like the Saints did last year.

Not 10-6 teams.

The Tuna is not always right but on this point he's right.

Here's to better days.

Unfortunately, that's not how it works. I agree that we're not that far off though.

Eight is the correct number, but if forced to pick, I'd take the under.

With the parity in the NFL today, and most games settled within one score, this is less of a fact than it has been in the past. One or two plays have been deciding games. Bad calls by refs. Untimely turnovers. Clock management. KICKERS

There's the REALLY good teams in a season (handful). There's the REALLY bad teams in a season (handful). Then there is the vast majority somewhere in the above average to average range. What decides your place in that vast majority is LUCK when referencing the previous underlined text. Saints were fricking snake bit last year. I'm not even talking about injuries. Everyone has to overcome those (some more than others). Luck is involved there too. But I'm talking about those blocked kicks for scores. If there are chances for the weird and unlikely, somehow the Saints are always on the receiving end.

Obviously it's not how it works. But much less talented teams have gone 10-6 in the NFL. My point is they aren't far off and they did have some serious bad luck last year

I mean, this separates the good teams from the bad. One or two plays always "decide" games. The saints haven't been a good team the last few years

Luck isn't real. Poorly constructed teams and teams who can't execute when it matters are real

I agree with that. It wasn't so much bad luck as it was bad special teams. I'm just assuming that with kamara/ginn/new special teams coach the special teams will be much improved. Lutz has his first season jitters under his belt and a full offseason to correct his height issue, which really, really cost us

Elaborate on that.


I've been critical of management, but they have done a nice job two straight offseasons

Over. You can clearly see we are gearing for one more run with Drew. Our offense is potentially even more lethal than usual if AP is even close to the player he's been. We just need a respectable defense which I'm cautiously optimistic about provided we stay healthy.

I think we end up around 10-12 and a playoff team

Who did we get on defense, free agent wise?

No one that can step in and play day one that is Pro Bowl worthy.
