I think it will be tough but definitely possible if team gets hot at the right time. I think it also depends on where certain games fall next year when the dated schedule is revealed.

If Drew come back I don’t see why we can’t win 11 games.

The issue is getting over the hump. Things like needing a #2 WR, healthy OL, etc, all effect us in the playoffs.

Well, it has been the norm for the last 3 years, so I don't see why not.

What about this team is getting worse in order to say it isn't? We were the best team in the NFC this year per PFF, and we are set to return all those key players next year.

Yes. We are to a point that playoffs should be an expectation not a wish.

Who gives a frick at this point? We can’t win in the dome or outside in the playoffs. The team needs to let Drew walk and use the money to beef up the defense. Defense wins championships.

Depends on the health of the team. If we can make upgrades without losing too much depth than I don’t see why we can’t at least win 10-11 games

PFF also had Marcus Williams as a top 5 graded safety, so....

Carolina - rebuild
TB - who the frick knows
Atlanta - could be a contender depending on if they play like they did at the end of the season.

I'd say it's pretty likely if Brees stays.

15. Now that we see how easy it is I expect it every year. Edit- Sorry , I thought I was on the LSU board.

Too many unknowns at this point ,but I think at this point we have the best coach and roster in our Division going into next year though that can change. I think we have enough for a playoff team. I would not be surprised with 11 or more wins.

I'm expecting 8-8 or 7-9. After losing to a bum like Kirk Cousins I don't see much hope for a good rebound. After 3 years of disappointment I think they take a severe drop. I just hope the Saints play it smart and don't overpay a diminished Brees. Last thing we need is a huge contract for a washed player especially long term.

Losing in the first round at home says otherwise. Championships aren't handed out based on media ratings.

This is literally irrelevant.

Well we’ve won 77% of our games the last three seasons. 11, 13, 13 wins. Best in the league over that time. Brees coming off his best season of the 3.

Why wouldn’t we expect double digit wins?

Hard to say at this point, who knows what happens this offseason. Assuming we keep Brees and most of the other key pieces in place, I don’t see why not.

Assuming no trades, I’d be awfully interested in getting Justin Jefferson to be our #2. He’s projected late 1st/early 2nd so kinda borderline but should be there
