Well everyone is STILL hanging on Scams jock strap after a dismal SB loss thinking they're going to "get it done" this yr. usually SB losers take a back seat. See Seattle loss. Before season started following their loss, I stated beastmode wouldn't get 1000yrd rushing and likely less than 850 and possibly injured. It happened. Not saying I know it all but I called that.
Carolina is NOT winning the division. So who's left? TB? Or Atlanta? Since you have Saints not winning more than 7 and possibly only 5? Lol. The offense will certainly struggle. But Brees will continue to throw 4000+ yrds and this yr? They've beefed up the defense which was a must. Next yr the Oline will get attention. So they just have to play mediocre and hope the D can keep em in it which is quite possible. What is it? 3rd on SOS this yr for them? They're going to go to the playoffs. Though no SB this yr... Too many ppl underestimating them...
thats just my take
I dont like NWO personally. Long time Colts fan. But shit. Look at that schedule. Real shot at winning each one. Week 15 at ARZ looks tough now but thats 4 months away. and maybe week 4 going west to SD after MNF vs ATL. Tell me which games they can't win.
well, drew brees is 37 and in his 16th year for one. they have no offensive weapons. who are their goto guys? brandin cooks, willie snead, fleener and spiller (will be injured by week 4) and ingram. does that inspire fear in anyone? their defense will be really bad last year. i don't think the d improved under dennis allen, and i don't expect it to this year either.
take their divisional games 1st. they will get swept by panthers, and will be no better than 1-1 vs tb and atl. that's 2 wins.
maybe they beat oak opening week but i don't think so. lose to giants on the road, lose at sd after the monday night game vs atl, lose at kc, lose to seattle, maybe they beat sf on the road, lose to den, beat rams at home, maybe beat det at home, lose to az. i them them as 5-11 or 6-10 team.
i think panthers easily win the division again, even if its 10-6 or 11-5. i know the super bowl loser hangover, and i also didn't think seattle would do anything last year. i was actually surprised they made that late season run to make the playoffs. i thought they would go 8-8. who did the saints pickup that is going to beef up their defense? and what is dennis allen's pedigree as d coordinator? i don't see it.
