Oh boy ... don't particularly enjoy placing the Saints this low on the Power Rankings, but what do you do with a team that allowed 45 touchdowns through the air in 2015? New Orleans also allowed 476 points, and you can't tangle all of that in former coordinator Rob Ryan's hair. Yet, the club only drafted three players on defense (the Saints had the fewest picks overall with five). That said, teaming Cameron Jordan with first-rounder Sheldon Rankins makes this front formidable.




Come on now. I'm not saying we should be top 10, but the third worst team in the league? I don't care how many TD's we gave up last year; any team with an elite QB is at least better than the 3rd worst

LSU with no QB would be at least 26th in the league.

Without looking at the rankings...................30 seems way off.

The Ringer employees and ESPN podcast people (Bill Barnwell) have been CRUSHING us.

On Barnwell's NFC draft/offseason podcast they actually just laughed at us and called us a complete joke basically. Completely dismissed and moved on, talked about pretty much every other team, even the Browns with respect. Absolutely pummeled us.

I'm kind of shocked, I think we will be much improved.

Elliot Harrison is the same idiot that did not include the Saints 52 Giants 49 2015 game in the top 20 games of 2015. His logic was that it was an XBOX game. All the while the NFL showed replays of said game as one of the top games of 2015. Anytime he talks about the Saints, he has a negative agenda. When he says,

what he is really saying is that he enjoys placing them low. He is a liar.

That's a joke. We are probably bottom half, but 30 is ridiculous.

Vegas o/u wins for Saints at 7 is ahead of:
Bears (6.5)
Bucs (6.5)
Jags (6)
Titans (5.5)
49er's (5)
Browns (4.5)

Also tied with Falcons, Lions, Dolphins, Chargers.

Saints power rankings should be at worst #26 and realistically somewhere around #15-20.

Teams that I believe the Saints are definitely better than:
Raiders
Titans
Rams
Eagles
Redskins
Bears
Browns
Lions
Jets
Falcons
Bucs
Jags

Teams the Saints may be better than:
49'ers
Chargers
Texans
Cowboys
Chiefs
Ravens
Colts
Dolphins
Bills
Vikings
Giants

Teams definitely better than the Saints:
Patriots
Steelers
Panthers
Broncos
Seahawks
Packers
Bengals
Cardinals

Thus, by my estimation, we should be ranked somewhere between 9 and 20. Definitely not #30.

Our roster is paper thin and we keep kicking the can down the road in regards to salaries.

They probably figure Brees will be hurt in game 1 because the Saints organization is brain dead in trying to protect their franchise player with an improved oline as priority.

I'm glad we're 30th. We need to play hungry.

I've now seen two different sites rank the BEARS 28th.

Wow. I don't get it.
