NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[WiggyRuss]

Atlanta and Carolina arent going to suck either--- neither are good- but Atlanta has an offense and Carolina is well coached and isnt going to roll over. I dont see 4-0 against them.

 

[WiggyRuss]

11 or 12 seems reasonable. If they stay healthy, no reason to say more

the Browns need to go at least 4-2 in the division. We cant get swept by Baltimore, and beating Cincy twice is important if they want to win the division.

I think they should get at least a split vs. Pittsburgh- but i just cant say we "SHOULD" beat them twice.

 

[Shanemansj13]

just saying- they play Buffalo, Green Bay, Tampa twice, Tennessee, Seattle.

zero margin of error for 12 wins thats for sure--- even 11 leaves little margin for error--- Playing Carolina and Atlanta twice is nice- but I think its tough to count on sweeping Carolina and Atlanta- its possible but its tough.

Philly, Washington, New England and Miami are all pretty good- youd have to take 3 out of 4 of those.

Id say its closer to a 9 or 10 win team than 11 or 12----- even in the NFC.

We shall see.

You need some good QB play to get to 11 wins. Can Jameis play like a top 12 QB? i dunno.

I only have the Browns at 11- and thats with sweeping Cincy- which is not a given- and the Browns are way more talented with a 3rd place schedule (though they are in the AFC which is a disadvantage when compared with NFC).

Jameis is very inconsistent, maybe a year behind Brees helped but no reason to think he is that much different. Just inconsistency. That 2019 Bucs was very talented…more offensive weapons than this Saints team but overall the Saints have more talent but he took them to 7 wins. I think 9-10 is about right, maybe 11, hard to tell at this point. Thomas could miss some games to start the season. I mean there is no reason they shouldn’t win 11 but Jameis can go full Jameis in a hurry. He needs to realize he doesn’t have to throw 40 times, that’s the only way they get to 11 or 12+ wins. Like I said, hard to know until we see him play. I’m not making any predictions, long season shit happens

Why do you think they will throw 40 times? I'm not understanding the logic from you too. This team is going to be run heavy. Jameis throwing 40 times should not happen at all unless they get down in a game early by like 3 tds. This isn't the old Saints from 2011 when they barely ran the ball

 

[WiggyRuss]

This is a 12 or 13 win team if Jameis is a top 12 QB. I'm expecting him to be closer to middle of the pack. Top 12 is top 3rd of the league basically. I think you are really underestimating how good this roster is and how much Brees arm strength had hurt the offense when it came to stretching the field. It was great tonight to see a QB throw 50 yards down the field

id say the Saints would have the better QB in maybe 8 of 17 games.
Carolina twice
Philly
Wash
Jets
Miami
NE
NYG

So defense and Kamara means nothing? Cool lol

Also one of the best offensive line in football doesn't mean a damn thing

i just dont think ti adds up to 12 wins

again- this is what i cant stand------ somehow you get "offensive line and kamara mean nothing" out of predicting 10 wins----- when Vegas even says 9 is their over under.

is it thin skin or defensive-ness or what. i dont understand.

i have the Browns at 11 wins with an 3rd place schedule- a better offensive line and better RB room a better QB- and no one on the Saints that is near Myles Garrett.

Guess you never heard of Cam Jordan

Also the Browns play in a better division which you failed to mention. Saints have 4 games that should be wins in the division. With the Browns there are only 2. You also aren't as high on your team as you should be. I would be disappointed with 11-6 if I'm a Browns fan. Went 11-5 last year and it is year 2 in this system. 11-6 would be a step backwards

 

[bksballer89]

when Vegas even says 9 is their over under.

Why even play the games since Vegas can see into the future? Bucs and Chiefs with the highest win totals according to Vegas. Let's cancel the season and skip to the superbowl....vegas is ALWAYS right

if that IS the next Superbowl i'd have no issue with it. just sayin'...

 

[tlance]

Well that sucks…Jameis will show flashes and then he can lose games by himself. Plus is I guess that gives Hill to be the swiss army knife.

Taysom Hill is way better as a Swiss Army knife than he is as a QB.

This is the way to go for the Saints. Maximize contributions from both players.

I think Jameis is going to be league average at best, but that should be all the Saints need.

Jameis might be a top 12 QB on his best day.

But he is bottom 5 on his worst.

Probably going to drop a couple they should have won.

 

[DJ Fieri]

@DJ ready to take you up on that Saints bet. Jameis will be the starter.

I think this is a 11 or 12 win team. Let's settle on 11+?

Sure

 

[bksballer89]
