Jul 19 2011 |
Expressed disbelief that Drew Brees would ask for lifetime exemption from franchise tag as part of the CBA |
Or, "God, I hope this is false." |
There IS a God. Looks like the NFLPA lawyers asked for it without Brees' knowledge. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Again, my apologies to Drew Brees and his agent, Tom Condon. |
|

Aug 8 2011 |
Jimmy Graham's 2011 season will not be better than Shockey's 2009 season |
He just needs to stop dropping passes and stay healthy. |
||
|
Aug 3 2011 |
Saints go 5-1 in division, lose @Tampa 15-1 blah blah |
That's not blind optimism, that's Helen Keller optimism. |
||
|
Aug 3 2011 |
Bucs will go at least 11-5 and push us for the division title |
Well, that's possible. |
||
|
Aug 3 2011 |
Atlanta will hit 9-7 (Julio will fail miserably, and Ryan will do worse than 2010 in passer rating) |
Disclaimer: Hans is a Saints fan. |
||
|
Aug 4 2011 |
Tarvaris Jackson goes .500 in 2011 if he starts an even number of games greater than zero |
This is also possible. I think. |
||
|
Aug 4 2011 |
Tarvaris Jackson starts Game One in 2011 |
|||
|
Aug 4 2011 |
Seahawks go under .500 in 2011 |
I sense some subjective analysis here. |
||
|
Jul 31 2011 |
Plaxico Burress will probably start game one, and play a significant amount of snaps |
Jets are calling Derrick Mason the starter. |
||
|
Jul 13 2011 |
Jimmy Graham: 10 TD's in 2011 |
Wouldn't that be nice? |
||
|
Jul 15 2011 |
Objects to Rotoworld's statement that Danny Amendola will return as the starter in the slot. |
They're still doing it!! GAAA!!! |
||
|
Jul 15 2011 |
Very impressed with Shaun Rogers' career even before he became a Saint |
Not sure why this is on here. I guess I thought he was just a FF and wouldn't amount to much. Its not trending that way. |
||
|
Apr 29 2011 |
Louisville lovers love Johnny Patrick |
I'll need to see some preseason action before I can become a Johnny Lover. |
||
|
Apr 29 2011 Jun 8 2011 |
Ingram pick cost too much with too much risk. Overrated, potential bust. |
I think they were thinking of Mikel Leshoure. |
||
|
May 1 2011 |
Ingram scores only 2 to 4 TD's IF he makes the team. |
So Pierre and Lance get the rest? Teetering on the precipice here. |
||
|
May 1 2011 |
Ingram has injury concerns, may not have been the best running back prospect in the draft, and doesn't represent a great upgrade over Thomas/Ivory. and when you consider the price, it was a bad pick unless Ingram puts his butt in the Pro Bowl multiple times or keys another Super Bowl run. |
I don't think we'll need multiple pro bowls to prove this wrong. Turn off your mind, relax and surrender to INGRAMANIA!! |

coldpizza stujo4 |
Ingram starts more games than Jordan in 2011 |
Seems like a lock. |
|
|
Jul 12 2011 |
Ingram DOES NOT start more games than Jordan in 2011 |
Somebody's got JORDANMANIA!! |
||
|
Apr 28 2011 |
Morstead and 2011 Saints will set NFL record for fewest punts and team record for 6 games without a punt |
Hans might have turned off his mind and relaxed a bit too much here. |
||
|
Mar 17 2011 |
NFL CBA will be signed before any 2011 games are lost |
Cut it kinda close. |
I'm sure we all meant regular season games. I'm counting this as a win. |
|
|
Mar 4 2011 |
Saints RB's: 1. PT |
Ouch. TUSK!!! is probably PUP'd, Reggie is traded and PhotoOp is a ghost. |
And Pierre is probably not going to start. Let's end this mercifully. |
|
|
Apr 24 2011 |
Thinks our run game will be Top 5. |
If they stay healthy and Payton balances his play calls, right? |
||
|
Jan 9 2011 |
Saints To-Do List: Don't rest on your laurels |
Time to settle this. |
||
|
BM, cont'd |
Get a pass rush. |
Shaun Rogers, Aubrayo Franklin, Cam Jordan |
We'll see if this works. |
|
|
BM, cont'd |
Find an elite deep threat. |
Adrian Arrington would be the only add on here. |
Meachem = chopped liver? |
|
|
BM, cont'd |
Find more running backs |
INGRAMANIA!! SPROLIES!!! |
BOOM!! Marking this one complete. |
|
|
BM, cont'd |
Overhaul your return and coverage teams. |
tlsk thinks this got done with Johnny Patrick and Nate Bussey. We'll see. |
Roby is back too. |
|
|
Jan 10 2011 |
NFL players and owners will reach an agreement by March and all will continue as normal provided they drop the 18-game schedule idea. |
Missed it. Satch regroups and predicts we'll miss no more than 2 preseason games. |
Boom, done. Hall of Fame game doesn't count. |
|
|
Jan 14 2011 |
Skeptical of Denver Post's statement that Kyle Orton is likely to be traded in the offseason |
This went back and forth all year.... until they saw Tebow's first practice. Then they realized they wouldn't have a QB if they traded Orton. |
VAsaintsfan is correct. Orton is not going anywhere for now. |
|
|
Jan 16 2011 |
To Do List: Sign Brees |
|||
|
cont'd |
Reggie-pay cut/trade/cut |
This took an extraordinary turn. |
In an unlikely trade. |
|
|
cont'd |
Cut Shockey-keep Graham/D Thomas |
Done |
And done. |
|
|
cont'd |
Cut Kyle/Gay, keep Dresher/P-Rob |
Kyle and Gay cut. |
Gay might return. Or not. |
|
|
cont'd |
Retain Bushrod, Harper, Moore, P Thomas |
All done |
Fans' response is mixed on some of these. |
|
|
cont'd |
Shanle, Ayodele, Hargrove-Paycut or cut |
"Now starting at linebacker for your New Orleans Saints...." |
Shanle signed. Ayodele skips to the Wikings, Hargrove to the Eagles. |
|
|
cont'd |
Goodwin, Evans, Strief, Charleston, Prioleau, Torrence-release, resign at Saints' leisure |
Gootwin & Evans gone. |
Strief, Charleston, Prioleau and Torrence all return, for now. (We got camp bodies in competition!) |
|
|
cont'd |
(Tennant replaces Goodwin, Casillas replaces Shanle) |
Tennant backburnered with the addition of Kreutz. This might take another year. |
Casillas needs to step it up. |
|
|
cont'd |
Draft a DE to help Will Smith |
Cameron Jordan |
boom done, we'll see how much help he is |
|
|
cont'd |
Free agency niceties- young fullback, reserve interior OL, K/P returner |
See ya, Heath Evans. |
I don't know, I guess this is covered. Can Sproles return kicks or just punts? |
|
|
cont'd |
Educate and overhaul TUSK! |
Don't know about the education, but the overhaul is turning into a long term project. |
About to start the season on the PUP list. |
|
|
Jul 12 2011 |
Strief gets re-signed by the Saints before Bushrod |
Close enough to be meaningless. |
Bushrod signed July 28, Strief on August 1. |
|
|
Apr 28 2011 |
Whoever drafts Da'Quan Bowers will see him balloon up during the inevitable rehab |
This is not happening, I was wrong. At least, for THIS rehab. Will he make it through his rookie season? Holding this open in case of catastrophe. |
||
|
May 1 2011 |
The Falcons will begin a steep decline based on this draft. |
Julio Jones looks awesome. |
||
|
May 1 2011 |
Martez Wilson, not Mark Ingram, makes the biggest impact of all rookies this season. |
Wilson's had a pretty quiet camp, hasn't he? |
||
|
May 2 2011 |
Three NFC South teams with double digit win totals in 2011. |
Why didn't he just say Saints, Falcons, Bucs? |
||
|
May 2 2011 |
Wilson probably has the best chance of our drafted rookies to win Rookie of the Year |
He didn't say "...in the NFL" so technically, he's still got a chance. |
||
|
May 2 2011 |
Junior Galette will be a starter this year |
He's got to make the team first. |
||
|
May 9 2011 |
2011 RB's: Ingram, Thomas, Ivory, J Bell. Bush gets cut outright prior to training camp |
The crystal ball had a little smudge on it, Reggie was traded before camp. Leaving this open to see if The Joiquer can prevail. |
||
|
May 4 2011 |
Ingram won't have more than 3 games with 13+ carries |
I heard that humble pie tastes like dog poop. |
||
|
May 4 2011 |
Ingram will have 8 games with 13+ carries & 50%+ more rushing yards than teammates |
Mikel Leshoure would have done the same if Mickey had read his incoming faxes on draft day and Leshoure's Achilles hadn't snapped. |
||
|
May 4 2011 |
Martez Wilson will be the best overall performer of our draft class |
Déjà vu. That's French for "You smoke too much dope." |
||
|
May 11 2011 |
Heath Evans will probably/def be on the opening day roster |
Oh, you meant on the NFL Network? Well why didn't you say so? |
Bunch of Heath lovers. |
|
|
May 13 2011 |
Saints will pursue Rocky McIntosh and Barry Cofield |
If by "pursue" you mean "If you want to come to camp without any guarantees of any kind, that's fine, whatever", then I think you nailed it. |
They signed with somebody but I'm not looking it up. |
|
|
Jun 2 2011 |
Doesn't believe A Arrington will be a regular rotation receiver In 2011 |
jeff, ever the skeptic. But I tend to agree. He's got a very slight build. AA, I mean. jeff could stand to lose a few. |
||
|
Jun 18 2011 |
PhotoOp makes the roster |
So sorry, tommy. |
If Ingram pops an Achilles, Rita could give Lynell a call, sure. |
|
|
April 18 2011 |
Scott Shanle will return to the Saints in 2011 |
LunchPale ain't skeered of Casillas, Herrring, or Clint Ingram. |
Now, will he start on opening day? |
|
|
Aug 1 2011 |
Shanle plays SAM-and presumably starts |
That's what I'm talkin' ‘bout. Not that I like it. I'm just reading Gdub's mind. |
||
|
Jan 21 2011 |
OT Charles Brown is the starter by Sep 2011 |
He's practicing and doing well, I heard. But he'll have to stay healthy. |
||
|
Aug 1 2011 |
bondcrash |
Strief will give Stinchcomb a run for his money and start at RT |
I don't know what "run for his money" means. Like, steal out of his locker? We're going to need to be more specific, guys. |
|
|
Nov 2 2010 |
The over thrown would be TD pass to Strief in week 8 of 2010 indicates Brees' QB career peaked in 2009 |
I'll draw a picture for you in a couple of years. It'll kinda look like this: \ .\__ . \ . \__ . \ |
||
|
Jul 14 2011 |
Drew Brees will prove he is not in decline by throwing less than 10 interceptions and winning the league MVP award |
In 2011, presumably. The >10 might be harder than the MVP. |
||
|
Jul 14 2011 |
Pierre Thomas will lead the team for the season in rushing yards and rushing TDs |
Satch, you found the peyote in the New Mexico desert, didn't you? |
||
|
Jul 14 2011 |
Darren Sharper won't play another snap for the Saints |
Down to the wire on this one, but not looking good for Sharper. |
||
|
May 14 2010 |
Condemned Ricky Williams draft day trade, applauded Tebow draft day trade |
Hey, Ricky's going to play for the Ravens this year. While Tim Tebow sits on the bench behind Orton. it's a completely different thing than the shotgun. Tebow is stiff under center and can't make decisions quickly enough. |
||
|
May 17 2010 |
Believes Payton was addicted to Vicodin and Loomis aided cover-up |
Need to get this off of here before we get sued. |
I'm calling it. Unless they go to rehab, this is a closed chapter. |
|
|
Jul 2 2011 |
Shaun Rogers will make a big impact on defense for the Saints in 2011. |
I underestimated the Big Ass Baby Huey or whatever he's called. But let's wait and see if he falls on Ingram in practice and tears his Achilles. |
||
|
Jul 11 2011 |
Shaun Rogers in 2011: 2-3 sacks tops |
Seems about right. |
||
|
Jul 12 2011 |
At least two teams with a new starting QB will make the playoffs this year. At least one of those new QBs will be a rookie |
I need a pencil and paper to make sense of this. You mean, like, Christian Ponder? |
||
|
Jul 18 2011 |
Between signing bonus and 2011 salary, Bush will be 'made whole' on the $11.8 million, or close to it, but the odds are it won't be in New Orleans. |
Signed a two-year, $9.75 million contract with Miami. The deal included a $2.5 million signing bonus. 2011: $2.5 million, 2012: $4.5 million (+ $275,000 workout bonus) |
I thought "made whole" meant he'd get all of it. He didn't get all of it and certainly didn't get it all this year. |
|
|
Jul 2 2011 |
If Reggie stays, he will have a more impactful season than his rookie year and the offense will be more dangerous than in 2009. |
He didn't stay. |
You wanna double down and say it applies in Miami? |
|
|
Jun 23 2011 |
Chances of being a Saint in 2011: Reggie 30-40% Lance 80-90% |
Correct on both. |
I think he might have just guessed on those odds, though. |
|
|
May 4 2011 |
Reggie's new contract will be at least $4 million a year, traded or restructured |
It is. |
I wish him well in Miami. |
|
|
May 3 2011 |
Reggie needs to have a good camp, or PayLoo will cut him without a contract offer. |
I don't know what kind of camp he's having. |
I think the Daniel Thomas kid will put a kink in Reggie's plans. |
|
|
Mar 22 2011 |
Reggie will not sign a new contract prior to mid-August 2011 |
Well technically, he didn't sign a contract with the Saints. |
Signed with the Dolphins on July 28 |
|
|
June 11 2010 |
CP thinks PT and Reggie both gone in 2011 |
Only half way there. |
I'm closing this. PT will sit behind Ingram. |
|
|
May 20 2011 |
Reggie will retire having played all his NFL games as a Saint. |
I let my emotions get the better of me. |
I'm trying not to cry. |
|
|
Jul 26 2011 |
US will return to the gold standard within 5 years |
Teddy Roosevelt style pince nez eyeglasses will come back into style first. |
