Realistic expectations are somewhere in that mediocre 7-9 to 9-7 range. It's about where we have been stuck the last couple of years with even horrible defenses. Even if there aren't any real improvements that's where I expect to be. If the defense is marginally improved, which isn't a given, then we can hope to push for at least 9 wins. If it shows real improvement, which I'm really not holding my breath for, then 10 wins should be possible.


I tend to agree as a healthy Brees can clearly take a 3-13 team to 7-9.

I keep hearing that the schedule is tougher this year and that the Saints can be greatly improved and still only go 7-9.

Schedule strength at this point is absolutely meaningless with the parity of the NFL.

There's also a lot of luck involved. A couple of bonces here and there can make the difference for a couple of games.

If we were playing last year's teams with this year's schedule, but nobody knows how difficult it really will be until the season has already been played.
