I actually think Dallas on the road is a game we could drop if the Dallas pass rush gets going. Fortunately Dak is still Dak and we're actually good against the run.

Right now I'm not sure anyone has the team to beat them.
Is there a team that could take away the Saint's run game? I think the only way to beat them is to shut down one half of the O. Stop the run, pressure Brees is the way I would attack I think.
You'd have to get a lead for that to work too. Hate to say it but right now in the NFC, it's probably the Bears that would concern me most but their offense is weak. I would think the Rams D would be the one to do that but they got run over when they played.
No afc team imo. Nope. Cream quickly rising to top but frick still half a season to go

The Cleveland Browns completely outplayed the Saints. If the Browns kicker didn't miss an extra point and 3 FGs, the Browns would have won that game easily. The Browns held the Saints to season lows in every category. Let that sink in for a second!
A week 2 almost win lol.
Saints are a much different team than early in the season.

The NFL blows me away with how closely matched each team is from Sunday to Sunday.
They Saints dismantled the Super Bowl Champions yesterday. The Eagles are not that far off from the Saints. The Eagles secondary is really banged up but despite those injuries their DBs forced Drew to make perfect throws many times yesterday. It's the very little things in the NFL that make the difference between a win, loss or even a blow out like yesterday.
As it stands right now the Saints offense is in a very precarious position. The depth at left tackle drops off substantially after Bushrod. Armstead is out for 2-3 weeks so Bushrod needs to hold his own for the next 2-3 weeks. If Bushrod goes down the downstream repercussions would be challenging to Drew and Payton. That is just how difficult it is to stay on top of the NFL from week to week. I guess that's why they say, "any given Sunday".
Details matter so much in the NFL. I'm totally enjoying the fact that Drew and Payton are totally geeked out on details. It is an amazing thing to watch when they are clicking.

Surprised no one said Bama

Saints will be in the SB and will either face KC or NE.
KC would have the best shot because they can score with them, but Belichick sure knows defense.

The thing I'v noticed about Sean the past couple of seasons is his commitment to the run. Prior years he would go undisciplined and get to cute with the pass. Many times that put the Saints defense into difficult positions. The past two seasons I kind of sense when he bites his tongue and sticks with a run play and attempts to even out the runs pass ratio. I believe this is what Sean talks about when he stresses complementary football. The run game is a huge benefit to the defense.

They have a defense we've seen that is capable of shutting down an offense. Just depends do we see good Bortles or bad.
Not this year. And now Ramsey wants to be traded. Locker room, gone.

I mean it's the NFL so anything can happen...
if Khalil Mack when crazy on Brees and created multiple turnovers the Bears could be "capable" of beating us.
Rams, Chiefs, Pats, Chargers and Steelers are all capable of beating us at a neutral site.
losing to the Packers, Seahawks, Vikings, or Panthers on the road wouldn't be the most shocking thing.

I think the Dallas game is another one of those 50-13 games

And if you want to run with the "any given Sunday" theory that's fine. Someone has to be the unimaginative antagonist I guess.

The panthers will come around I think.

Pats, Rams, and Chiefs because they are all capable of boat-racing the Saints in a shoot-out; Da Bears because of their insane pass rush.
