Can the Saints still win the NFC South? 

Post#1 » by straightguji » Tue Oct 30, 2007 10:15 pm

Personally I think they will. The Falcons are a mess, the Panthers are just a bad team and I'm not sold on the Bucs and I think they'll start to wear down as the season progresses. This division is theirs for the taking.

The Saints remaining games are vs Jaguars, vs Rams, @ Houston, @ Carolina, vs Bucs, @ Atlanta, vs Cardinals, vs Eagles and @ Chicago.

All of those games I would say the Saints are the favourites to win, except maybe the Jacksonville game. But still, the Saints could possibly even go undefeated for the rest of the season if they have their A game on.

What do you guys think?

I say they won't beat the Jags, Texans, Bucs, Falcons, Eagles or Bears.

9-7 good enough to win that division? Looks to me like they could win 6 more with that schedule they have.

I didn't know they were out considering they are only one game out of first place. I believe they have a strong chance at winning the division and I don't see why they won't.

If the offensive line plays like the last few games, and the D continues the solid play, I think we take it.

No way, we suck. Hopefully we'll be tanking games by then anyways.

any team but the falcons can end up winning that division, it is one of the worst divisions and should not be too difficult to win, it could probably be won with only 8 or 9 games.

Can the Saints win the Division? YES
Will They: I think so

Why I think they will win the Division:
1. David Carr/Vinny Testaverde can not get the job done. If Delhomme was not hurt I would think Carolina would win that division
2. The Offense is finally clicking and Drew Brees looks a lot more comfortable in the pocket and with his team, Which I think is due to the Much improved play of the Offensive line.
3. The D is starting to swarm and make plays
4. It seems like they got back toi having a chip on there shoulder...seems like to me that they were not excelling when they were the favorites but once they got written off they started to execute and make plays.

I do think they are going to lose to JAX though.

Well, Marcus Stroud is suspended for 4 games now so who knows, but they probably have a better chance now against the Jags.

They started the year 0-4 and they haven't looked good outside of a couple of games. Why do I need to be a hater to believe they'll end the year 6-10?

BECAUSE

I wouldn't be shocked if they only won 6 but I think they will get 8 and winn the division.

And if you don't think Reggie Bush is the best ever you are a hater as well :noway:
