Your confidence in the team...

[Jmac]

Before the first game this weekend, how confident are you in this years squad. If there aren't any major injuries and Cam stays healthy, do they have the stuff to make a serious run or will it be a replay of what we have seen before. Say what you will on this question....what you got?

Bad thing is we are going up against the perfect storm in Brees in the twilight of his career.  Refs are going to be biased in those games and the Falcons game is going to be tough too.  Outside of the division, we've got to go up against Rams, Seahawks, and Packers.  It's a tough schedule all around and even if the team avoids injury, not sure we have the personnel to come out on top this year.  It's going to take some big leaps from Moore and Samuel, as well as, defense playing high level all season.

I think overall we have one of the best rosters in the NFL.  If the pass rush can provide consistent pressure, that will go a long way for helping out the secondary.  Assuming Cam's shoulder is good to go, we should be absolutely explosive on offense.  CMC, Moore and Samuel are all TD's just waiting to happen.  Not to mention Greg Olsen.  A lot rides on the health of number 1, but I think this team has everything it takes to contended for the division title and make a deep run in the playoffs.

I've only looked a few weeks down to road, but it's not out of the question for this team to go 7-1 out the gate, with their only loss coming this Sunday to the Rams.

The back half is a little more daunting, given the NFL's love for scheduling division games later in the year. Split with both New Orleans and Atlanta and .500 on the back end would be an achievement.

Surprisingly Hurney did a good job of upgrading the roster. Defense is definitely improved, offense will be explosive if Cam stays healthy and the o- line can do their job. Actually looking for an improved ST as well.

not sure if we have the personnel to stay with the NFC elite, a lot of good teams.

This week will tell a lot about where we are

The division alone makes our schedule one of the toughest in the league every year and we havent shown that we can step up to the plate since the superbowl run. Like i been saying i usually start my judgement there, see how we do against the bucs first.

at an all time no frikkin idea.   seems like we could be good, seems like we could kinda suck

[Untouchable]

Strange way to get there this off season, but the roster looks solid.  Worried about O-line because I don't see a lot of change/improvement.  Somewhat worried about implementing a new defensive scheme even though we got a jump on it in the 2018 draft and games late last season.

All on Cam...so no idea. But on paper we have maintained or upgraded most positions.

I'm preparing for a horrible season so I will be overjoyed with anything positive

[L-TownCat]

From the moment our season ended, alllllll the way til when toe touched leather last night to start the season, I have questioned, bitched and complained about all the stupid nonsensical crap our retards have pulled.

Now that the season has started, fug you all, my team is the greatest collection of humans ever assembled.  Fight me, irl.  We will win every game by 50.

if you want logic and rational discussion, hit me up after the season.

[Ricky Spanish]

10-6. Stumble out of the gate and pick up steam second half of the season.

It's how we do. 

[Zaximus]

I think this team has the talent to be a top team, no doubt.    But injury and coaching concerns are there with me.    I'm right in the middle with my confidence but I think it could go either way.  

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Our schedule is so fuging easy that we may fall ass backwards into yet another 7-9 season but 0 hope beyond that.
