It seems that the NFL bribes sports writers to always think the Saints are going to have an incredible year. The NFL just doesn't want that shitty team to fail. It normally is that way with the Falcunts too but the the falcons will be a good team this year. I do however feel that many teams have studied A LOT of film on them over the off season, especially on Ryan, and may contain him and them a little more this year

I don't think the Falcons will do as well as everyone thinks. Ryan can't carry that team alone. They did well because of a great running game, but Turner had the most carries in the league last season. Historically there's always a huge falloff for RBs the year after that. You can even see this in their playoff game. He had no power or burst whatsoever. They added some pieces to defense, but they also lost some. Old guy out, new guy in. Smart move for the future, but doesn't necessarily mean your defense improves.

Even so I can at least understand why people are going to favor them for the division. The Saints being higher than us though? OK, they have the best passing offense, we have the best rushing attack. The 2nd half of the season, once our OLine was healthy and had gelled, the PPG difference was less than 1. So you're basically betting that the Saints defense will be better than ours? :out:

    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season? 
    • Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in. 
    • JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
