Would 8-8 Be Acceptable for the Saints in 2016?
Am I a bad fan if I think an 8-8 record for the Saints in 2016 would be acceptable? Or am I just a realist who thinks that this team just isn’t very good? Let’s talk about it.
NFC South Roundtable: Are Saints Still Scary?
After a cameo appearance in the postseason in 2013, the Saints have gone 7-9 in consecutive seasons. Not dreadful, yet woefully mediocre. It would seem that the team that used to be a bully in the NFC South just a few years ago doesn’t really strike fear in the hearts of its opponents anymore.
NFC South Roundtable: Can the Wounded Birds Fly?
The Atlanta Falcon’s 8-8 record last season was their best in three years (4-12 in 2013, 6-10 in 2014). But as we all know, every new NFL year brings new hopes for all fanbases and in “Rise Up” land, they think they might just get back contending for the NFC South title in 2016.

Saints Should Take a Hard Look at Laquon Treadwell
The Saints could take their offense from good to great by drafting wide receiver Laquon Treadwell with the 12th pick. However, with a truly terrible defense in 2015, that would be an unpopular move. Here's why I think it might still be the right move
Saints Have Great Chance at Winning the NFC South
The 2015 Carolina Panthers were dominant. The 2014 version? Not so much. The same goes for the 2009 Saints who won the Super Bowl, but were just 8-8 in 2008. That New Orleans team that just went 7-9 could turn it around in a heartbeat in 2016.
Is Saints' Keenan Lewis Still Worth his Price Tag?
Keenan Lewis used to be considered the Saints' top cornerback. After last season, I'm not so sure that it is the case anymore. Yet, Lewis is still being paid like a number one cornerback. Should the Saints keep Lewis at his current price tag?
