Yeah, no thanks. If we get Peterson he needs to be shadowing #1's he needs to be for Pettine what Revis was. I wasn't really serious about the move. Was just dreaming of the scenario where all our young CBs would be on the field with him. If the Packers actually make the trade, then I have no doubt he would be a CB.

I never expected it to be higher than a 26 and I'm sure Gute expected about the same They've won 8+ games twice in the last six seasons, and one of those seasons was when they were doing something they had never done under Sean Payton: Field a great defense. Over that same six year period, they averaged a bit over 8 wins per season. I thought 7-11 wins was their win expectancy. But let's not pretend like they've played some murder's row of opponents. The only teams they've played with winning records is Washington and Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saints are a solid team that is well coached. Nobody thought that the Saints were going to flop and hand over a top 10 pick to the Packers. They might have hoped, but they knew that pick was most likely in that 16-24 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could still run into some injuries or maybe the Panthers keep pace and steal the division. I doubt it, but it could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there were also a few posters who thought they were going to win the Super Bowl. The majority of posters felt that they were going to be competing for the NFCS title.

MacReady Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'm one of the ones who had hope the Saints would implode. It really wasn't all that far away, either. The Browns lost that game, the Saints didn't beat them. Falcons had everybody injured. They needed Tucker's first ever PAT miss to win. This team is luck components away from being 2-4 rather than 5-1. Not saying they're going to implode the rest of the way, but this Saints team has looked impressive against exactly two teams; Redskins in New Orleans, and the Giants. They really aren't as good as everyone in here is making them out to be. Considering the complaints of our wins, if we'd won games the way the Saints have, there would be people talking about tanking right now. Lol.

ThatJerkDave Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 What are you guys talking about? The Saints aren't even good. They are 0-9 and it is week 8. This forum is so negative sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about packaging the picks in the draft and moving up as high as we can for the best pass rusher we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah .. that doesn't make sense. He's a shut-down corner .. end of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its probably always been the case, I'm now older (less mature though) and notice it more. Every NFL SEASON 5 teams flat out suck 4 teams are good 23 are all level Wins dictated on who you play, when you play them and did the bounce or penalties go your way? I've always held the argument, Brady and Manning are fantastic but for well over a decade (or 2) both players played in the weakest divisons the league has to offer. Jets, Dolphins, Bills, Texans, Jags, Titans.....come on.... guaranteed playoff spot every year. Don't get me started on Brady's round 1 and 2 playoff opponents.

They are really a lot like us in that they have really only looked great in a game or 2. They are 3-0 in coin flip games decided by 6 or less. They aren’t a top 5 team. They are 500 roster that has won their close games. Their schedule gets tough soon, so I think they come back down and finish 11-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
