I think we have upgraded offensively, and they are a top tier offense every single year. They haven't been worse than 6th offensively in the Brees era.

The problem is defense. Top 20 defense and we are looking at 10+ wins. I think they will still be bad defensively just not near as bad as last season. I'll take a guess and say they'll finish 24th defensively this season. And I think that'll be enough to improve the record to 9-10 wins.

I agree with you about the offense. Ryan was talking stupid about the offense.

Ryan said that the Saints are going backwards. They are not improving and not enough offensive weapons

This doesn't make sense to me. Lose Colston & Watson, gain Thomas & Fleener. Thomas has yet to play a down in the NFL, but I believe this is an improvement. And, at worst our line will be as good as they were at the end of last year; which was better than their overall ranking.

I predicted that if they could clean up a few things and if Fairley & Rankins play the way we expect; at a minimum they should be able to cut about 50 yds/gm and 5 points/gm. That would jump them to 23rd overall & 20th scoring.
