Surprising/Saints predictions

So I was just talking with my brother about what teams will surprise us going both positively and negatively, and then what the Saints record will be....

Positive surprise: San Diego
Chargers...every year I think to myself ok they have too much talent not to be good. Well Norb Turner, poor offensive line play, and Rivers playing poorly in big moments has kept them out of postseason play. I think this year they are under the radar and make a wild card spot.

Negative surprise: New England Patriots...the biggest thing for me is distractions. Now Belichik will still be there and Brady is going to play like a top 3 QB, but I think they lost a lot of firepower on offense especially at WR and I'm 90% sure Amendola doesn't make it through the Season healthy. I don't see the Patriots making the playoffs with Hernandez and Tebow distractions.

Saints: now I'm going to try and be very realistic.... I think the offense will finish the season at #1 once again. We are piled with talent at WR now and as long as Pierre Thomas and Sproles are healthy I won't be worried about the RB position. The obvious aspect of improvement this team needs is QB pressure. When Rob Ryan was first hired I was skeptical but after watching some preseason action it seems he is passionate about really wanting to be here and win here. Biggest thing I'm excited about is how our less talented defensive line fits Rob Ryan's scheme so well. Junior Gallette will be your team defensive play of the year ad Vaccarro finished second in the rookie of the year votin behing Montee Ball of Denver.


WHO DAT!
