I also posted this in the Falcons forum but i thought it would be fitting here too

In your mind is this the saints year to make the playoffs and possibly more?

Personally i think they have a great chance of making it

Heres a look at their schedule and how i think the will do



Oct. 1 at Carolina, 1 p.m. Win
Oct. 8 Tampa Bay, 1 p.m. Win
Oct. 15 Philadelphia, 1 p.m. Loss
Oct. 22 BYE
Oct. 29 Baltimore, 1 p.m. Loss
Nov. 5 at Tampa Bay, 1 p.m. Win
Nov. 12 at Pittsburgh, 1 p.m. Win
Nov. 19 Cincinnati, 1 p.m. Loss
Nov. 26 at Atlanta, 1 p.m. Loss
Dec. 3 San Francisco, 1 p.m. Win
Dec. 10 at Dallas, 1 p.m. Win
Dec. 17 Washington, 1 p.m. Win
Dec. 24 at New York Giants, 1 p.m. Loss
Dec. 31 Carolina, 1 p.m. Loss

that puts them at about 10-6 on the year.....Those are my predictions

Thoughts

they have a really tough schedule. but who really thought they would be 3-0 right now? they have shown me that they will not lay down for anybody. they are going to make each game a challenge. one week at a time and who knows what will happen.

You really have the Saints winning against Pittsburg and Dallas?

I don't think there is any team they can't beat, the problem is going to be consistancy every week. The offense also needs to start cashing in a lot more TDs to win big games. I really think if they can contiune to play well on defense they could easily be 10-6 or 9-7 at seasons end.

I would say Cincy and Philly would be a harder win than either Dallas or Pittsburg, pass defense is still a weakness. Pittsburg and Dallas play into the strengths of the Saints.

Here's how I see it.
Oct. 1 at Carolina, 1 p.m. Loss
Oct. 8 Tampa Bay, 1 p.m. Win
Oct. 15 Philadelphia, 1 p.m. Loss
Oct. 22 BYE
Oct. 29 Baltimore, 1 p.m. Loss
Nov. 5 at Tampa Bay, 1 p.m. Win
Nov. 12 at Pittsburgh, 1 p.m. Loss
Nov. 19 Cincinnati, 1 p.m. Loss
Nov. 26 at Atlanta, 1 p.m. Win
Dec. 3 San Francisco, 1 p.m. Win
Dec. 10 at Dallas, 1 p.m. Win
Dec. 17 Washington, 1 p.m. Win
Dec. 24 at New York Giants, 1 p.m. Win
Dec. 31 Carolina, 1 p.m. Loss

No easy games, cept for San Fran and maybe Tampa if they continue to play that poorly. They've got a lot of talent, but they're a year away. Their D has been solid so far but it needs to grow. The other peices are in place. This team's future is in the hands of the Defense.

We'll have to wait and see.

i think i have to change my pick for this week, i think carolina turns it around this week and takes it....

But still GO SAINTS GO

I think they can make it to the playoffs, but not much further. Thier defense is not that great. You need a top notch defense to win games in playoffs.

I guess my changed pick was correct......

Good for me in my pool not to good for the saints

i think that they are a few more players on defense away from being a playoff contender. emotion can only take you so far and when it leaves its pretty hard to get back.
