People still owe me an apology for saying 5-11 week 1 of training camp.

I'll give you an apology if we win <=5, but only if you never post again if we win >5 games

I predict 10-6. I am a sunshine pumper tho.

All we can do is hope the O-line gels enough because if not we won't have to re-sign Brees. He'll be injured seriously.

This might be the year where the O lets down the D, and that's entirely because of the line play and not the lack of weapons.

Trade Brees to free up cap money and hope to go 0-16 to draft Fournette. But no way these guys salvage this season.

If we go 0-16, we'll be drafting Deshaun Watson and also replacing our entire coaching staff.

Fournette? A running back won't be worth much running behind our line. How many championships has Adrian Peterson carried Minnesota to? The answer is zero because a running back, no matter how great, isn't going to put an entire team on his back.

But a quarterback can.

That's a lot to ask for a 6' QB. Shorty needs a line. It's disappointing because Payton made it a priority until recently. Or just got really lucky with Evans and company early on.

Glad I had sense enough not to renew my season tickets after 12 years!!!

We lost to 4 teams in preseason games and I watched every game, To me it appears the other teams 1,2,3rd team's were better than ours. Only time I saw progress was the 1st game against New England in the first half. I thought the defense looked pretty good.

Maybe loosing Rankins and that push is a bigger deal than I thought after he went down.

Dude's blown up so bad it's ridiculous. O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D. You'll see again this season. LSUs 2nd RB is a better overall back, Guice or whatever his name is.

Saints need to go Oline 1st round, DE 2nd round. Drafting a RB in the top 10 would be no better than Ricky Henderson.

If you can't at least be a little bit excited about some of the young talent that we have on defense, for once, then you are a bandwagon fan or have expectations that are completely unrealistic. Yes, there will be growing pains. So what. I can live with it because they are learning. Delvin Breaux had growing pains last year but we all saw the talent and the skill set so it was ok. I feel the exact same way watching PJ. I am excited to watch Breaux, Williams, Rankins (when he returns), Edabali, Gwachum, Onyemata, Bell, Anthony, Crawley, Harris and whatever other young talented guys make this team.

On offense, we are loaded at all skill positions. Yes, OL needs to gel. I saw some better play tonight. Armstead has not been healthy yet this preseason. He is a critical piece. I don't think that the starters at OL that we have today will look the same after this week.

I don't care what the record ends up if our youth shows signs of improvement throughout the season.

One final thought. Leading into this season reminds me more of the offseason between 2005 and 2006 than any other. I think that adding Laurinaitis and Kruger will be similar to Vilma and Fujita. Those guys are going to be the brains and the heart of our D. We might surprise some people if those youngsters grow up fast.
