It's not that the Saints are a great team, but their division is horrible and their schedule outside the division is rather easy as well. QBs in their division -- the Saints have Carr, then the others in the division are Baker Mayfield, Desmond Ridder, and Bryce Young. Big edge Saints The Saints full schedule -- those 6 divisional games, plus the AFC South and NFC North rotation (the NFCE feasted on them last year -- no team had a losing record), and their flex games are at New England, at the Rams, and home to the Giants. THAT is an EASY schedule. Sorry, but I could see the Saints going 12-5 even with a middling team. Carolina went 15-1 with that kind of easy schedule, but let's take it easy. David Carr is a good QB for them. If Michael Thomas is healthy, they have a heckuva WR room. That offense should be explosive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their running game is questionable with Tony Pollard coming back from an injury. Their CB, while playmakers, get smoked. Oh and there's the coaching staff that can't do a damn thing. Everyone also is talking up their defense as being the best in the NFC. They were a top 5 defense in terms of points against but they allowed exactly 2 points less than the Eagles. They are relying on an aging CB in Gilmore and a questionable coverage corner in Diggs. They have aging talent in Hankins and Lawrence. They have big expectations for a rookie DT and it's not like they have depth behind him. They got rid of a good OC who worked well with Dak and replaced him with a nepo baby that has never led a top 10 offense. Sure he's running McCarthy's scheme but McCarthy has never been that innovative. Pollard's injury isn't healed. Dak is coming off another shoulder surgery. They have significant concerns with depth on their o-line. They did upgrade their WRs but it's not like Brandin Cooks is a sure thing. He's 29 and coming off of a 700 yard season. Michael Gallup, despite the hype, has only put up just over 400 yards the last 2 seasons. He had the ACL but it's not like he looked that great coming back last season. I could easily see them having a bad season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is how it needs to be. Hype and overconfidence because of the talent followed by 'shocking' losses in the playoffs. I have come to enjoy this process.

I think they lose opening week @ the Giants…could start 0-2. They get Aaron Rodgers week 2 who usually plays very well in Dallas. They will be able to get close to Rodgers because the Jets online is nothing great, but I think the Jets defense is easily as good as the Cowboys if not better. I don’t think Pollard will be able to carry the load. I am very surprised they did not pick up another RB. I understand the most NFL teams don’t have decent oline depth, but I think theirs is worse than most. I would love to hear @just relax’s opinion on that. I would not be surprised to see Peters back there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He objectively didn't play well enough in CLE to warrant a second contract, then pulled a hissy-fit when the Browns traded for Watson. He bounced in and out of Carolina so quickly it's hard to remember him being there, then flashed for one game with the Rams but showed little consistency. Really good arm, rather poor leader. This will be his last stop as a starter, and it's in a really poor situation. The Buccaneers roster is aging fast, and Todd Bowles is a terrible head coach. Hard to imagine that team winning much this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to imagine that team winning much this season. It’s actually hard to say this, but his best situation was in Cleveland of all places. That was the best roster he had. It has only gone downhill from there. I think he bought into his own hype, and is not as good as people thought… Or as he thought himself. I think he is a serviceable talent as a back up QB in the NFL, but his personality does not fit that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else find it kind of odd that the Giants offensive line trash would ever be the Eagles treasure? It seems like an alternative reality show to me I’m not saying it’s not possible… Just that it sounds as something that I would never have predicted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
