NFL  > New Orleans Saints  > Thoughts on Saints' schedule ?
April 15, 2009, 11:03 PM
The first thing I noticed, obviously, please don't be "that team" to break the Lions' losing streak! Secondly, we play Buffalo when they'll be without Lynch and before T.O. can get real comfortable in the new offense- that should help the defense. Finally, two Monday night games!

it looks like we should start off really good, at least 6-0..maybe even better. but if we start off that good, it will defanitely help us later on down the stretch when we are playing patriots and cowboys and the other good teams in our division. it looks like it could be tough, but it should be a good season, im pumped we have 2 monday night games, the more primetime the better, like that year we played dallas on primetime and killed them, for some reason i think we play better when everybody is watching....aka the game in london against chargers... this is our year...

This is one of our tougher schedules but i know we will have a winning season. Im mostly worried about the Giants and Patriots game. Dallas doesnt worry me though. I think as long as our is offense #1 and our defense improves to the top 10 were unbeatable. Why does the off season have to be so long, i cant wait.

Giants and Patriots? Dont worry about those guys. Steelers beat them both last year.

but the patriots didn have tom brady when they played the steelers, hes back, and i guess i could get over the giants

I'd be worried for the Pats coming in. We are very luck to have them in our dome on a monday night.. that gives us a better chance. Brady is back and he will have a good amount of games under his belt this season before he and the Pats roll into town. They have a lot of draft picks this year so they could be extra dangerous if they pick up someone like Rey M. from USC or another monster to stack their defence with.

And yes I would be worried with the Giants as well. They get some of their injured players back as well.

Trust me, this year his a very hard schedule for us. The easiest game we have is the Lions but after that it is the Bucs or the Bills. The Bucs cleaned a lot of veteran lockers out this offseason and that's why we'll do better than them this year.

I'm sorry I also forgot the rams won't be to hard.

April 23, 2009  06:07 PM ET

the only team in our division im worried about is the falcons, i believe the panthers had a fluke season, well i hoping GO SAINTS

Once we smoke the Lions it'll set the tone for the season. We're crushing teams this year oh yea...who dat who dat Geaux Saints! Reggie Bush 10+ tds.

Our record will improve this year. What does last years record have to do with this years record.

If the draft goes well the Saints could very well have their best season yet.We have the offense but need the defense to step up now.By putting reggie in a position to use his speed in recieving and punt and kick returning and pierre in for the full year the position players are there.Here`s hoping for an injuryless season Geaux SaintsFan1967

I am looking forward to this season, if we can address our Pass D...watch out! We be marching!

Malcolm Jenkins come on down!! I don't think I've ever seen a secondary get a makeover so quick like ours. I finally see us getting turnovers on a consistent basis now...finally!

All we need is a defense that ranks around 15 to 12 and the party is on

15 to 12??? Our defense better improve to atleast 5th in the league.... Also, I feel we need to add another linebacker and a running back. We have a tough schedule and we can predict wins and loses all we wnat, but look at Atlanta, no one expected their rookie quarterback to be that good. As for Carolina, it wasn't a fluke, they are good and will be a very tough foe for the Saints. I like our chances now that we have changed our def. cord., and I feel we will make the playoffs, just not sure how deep we will go.... I LOVE MY SAINTS

nice chopper I don't think they will make it to #5 but they are going in the right direction. I belive they have a 2 or maybe 3 year window to win a superbowl with Brees and the offense before they start to get split up. The coaches are showing some class after they let go of those two bone heads that exposed themselves over the weekend what a bunch of idoits there goes a great job to play football
