yes but we are in the same exact situation this year that they were in exactly 1 year ago. Questions about Brees returning from injury, no respect, We are in the same place they were.

Brees wasn't always a stud, and as quake pointed out, he came off an injury. Campbell could be the next Brees. I hope.

we dont have respect because we havent earned it yet. we know were number one in the nfl for the hype machine. We will get respect when we start winning. Hopefully before i get to middle age. Brees was a proven qb before last year. JC still is unfortually a question mark. I hope he can keep improving. But who knows. He only has one wr treat and a good te.

Like I said. The Saints were in that same boat, and coming into last year Drew Brees was a question mark at best for the Saints coming off a torn labrum. I want a 3,000yard 25TD season from Campbell. I think he will get it. Our first 6 games are winable if Portis and Betts tear it up like I know they will.

we will be lucky to be 3-3 after the first 6 games. we will lose to phil and ny and maybe gb or ariz

Even winning won't get us respect...we didn't get it when we won 10 games a couple years ago. The saints didn't get too much respect either.
JC is HUGE question mark...I agree. But he has a lot of potential. I think we do have a good WR corp. Moss / Llyod and ARE are good wr's, and with JC being a little more accurate, then they will flourish.

Green Bay? unproven running back. No way we lose there.
Arizona? Almost choked on my beer when I read that. Leinart will throw picks all day. Arizona is not as good as everyone says.
NY? First important game without Tiki and "mistake prone Manning" making all the decisions. No we win those 3.

We will be 5-1 through 6 games with 6-0 is a possibility if we pull an upset in Philly.

[CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR]

yea winning 10 games every couple of years wont get you respect you have to do it year in and year out like NE,Phil,IND etc. then you will get respect like we had in the 80's. LLoyd stinks moss is great.

[CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR]

i bet im closer to 3-3 than your 5-1

We will smash Miami.
Philly is the only question.
And we should run(literaly) through the next 4.

[CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR]

leinhart will pick us apart. Farve always has a field day against us when was the last time we won in GB/?? 89 or 90. we will be lucky to be 3-3. Who are we to take any team for granted that we better than. Where have we proved that were some great team. we were 5-11 not 11-5 last year. Our dline still stinks, JC a ? Portis is a ? only one good wr ,have a whole at guard with wade he a ?> springs in a ? he always hurt.

[CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR]

we should win mia but who knows. I dont count the games as gimmes any more. Prove it on the field
