I'm honestly praying this is the year for solid colored endzones

I have no idea how this can be expected with any significant degree of confidence. He’s had foot injuries. Not shoulder, not even knee. It’s just not the best area for a guy makes his living cutting, is aging, and hasn’t really played consistent football going on several years now.

Terrible division + easy schedule = 11-6. Like another poster said, if the Saints don't win the division they need clean house.

10-7 would be incredible, imo

I'm going with 9-8.

Saints O/U on Draftkings in 9.5

Hoping for something different on the upside obviously but just can't DA seriously. Not yet. I thought they drafted well though man.

You need coaches who can motivate. It's not always picking players who are already motivated. It's about what they are going to get out of the teaching year in and year out.

Same.

I think the variance of this squad ranges from 6-9 wins.

We don’t use our running backs properly. Question marks all over our receiving room. I like Juwan Johnson to have a big year at TE, however. (600-800 yards, 5-7 TD)

I really think the season boils down to Allen staying out of his own way, Carr not turning the ball over and Bresee developing quick enough to give us a force on the interior of the DL.

10 wins i think may be our season, and I do not think it is unrealistic to think that. we have the potential to win more, and certainly a real possibility for less, but 10 seems a fair "middle ground"

My expectations are the playoffs with at least an opening win. Anything less to me will be a disappointment. We need 10 wins and the division title. The injury bug has hit us hard the last 2 seasons so we're due some kind of a break there. I still look for them to add a piece to either the d-line or depth at wr or lb before opening day.

Honestly this is where I'm at also. The Saints overall record is garbage. One of the easiest in the league. Carr might be the best QB in almost every matchup.

If Dennis Allen can't do anything with this team and the talent they have, then he'll be gone and they can start the rebuild properly with an offensive minded coach.

10 wins should be attainable in our weak division
