Do we clean up on aisle East or give up a game (Pats)?

I don't understand why people automatically think the Saints will lose to the Patriots... last time they played Brees & co. whipped some arse.

We very well could sweep them. But with the NFL you can never tell who will stay down or rise up. Bills and Dolphins have both made very solid offseason moves.

We get the Dolphins at home for a prime time game, don't see us losing that one. They added pieces, but they will not be able to hang with the Saints in this one.

@NYJ could be tougher than we think, but they are a bit of a mess. Still, a talented D.

The Bills, not all too worried. They have no QB, but the Saints are notorious for playing an awful game against a shitty team. I think the Saints take this one.

@New England will definitely be one of the tougher games on the schedule, as its one of the hardest places to win at. I wouldn't be surprised of a win here, but I'd pick this as a loss.

2-2 at the very worst against the AFC East, but I'll go with 3-1.

Jets worry me just because it's on the road and we play down to opponents LSU style.

Expect to see some tough defense out of the AFC East this year.

Miami can rush the passer out the arse and has a solid secondary. Ellerbe should solidify their linebacking corps. Jordan is a wild card for them to use as they please.

New England's defense is not what has been advertised over the past years. Retaining Talib allows Belichick to draw up some filthy blitz packages and McCourty is very rangy in the middle. They have a solid front seven as well.

The Jets have talent all over defense. Their front seven is impressive and they have an underated secondary after losing Revis. Wilkerson is a beast.

The Bills have an up and coming group. They have some talent at certain spots but need to prove themselves as a unit. Pettine loves to blitz and this could give Mario Williams one on one opportunities.

It all depends on how well the Saints can protect Brees. They are unproven at LT and although the interior of their offensive line is their strength, the AFC east boasts some of the best interior rushers in the game.

We play an entire division from the AFC every year. It's how the schedule works. Jets have should be funny. No Reggie with Miami, so no story line there.

Whether Gronk starts on the pup list will be the biggest factor with the pats.

No way the Saints lose any of these games. They're so fricking awesome.

You guys beat the worst Patriots team of the last 10 years in the Dome, which is probably the best homefield advantage stadium in the NFL.

This Patriots team actually has a good defense, it's going to be outside in "The Razor", and I don't count it as an automatic win for the Patriots. I agree that the Saints are too good a team to say "auto victory".

Cameron Wake is a fricking monster. For my money, he is the best pass rusher in the NFL.

No doubt about that.

Definitely top 5




I just don't see them being able to match the Saints offensive production in this one. Primetime in the dome, the Saints will put up some points. If this game were in Miami I'd be a bit worried.
