What if Drew Brees has a change of heart and wants to return for 2021? Do we risk losing Jameis like we did with Teddy or do we honor Drew's wish

That was the impression of the schedule based on 2018's results, but other than Seattle, the reality of the teams the Saints played in 2019 was different.

Frankly, the entire 2019 season wasn't one of facing juggernaut after juggernaut, and hindsight and all of that, it probably was not really what we think it was. Obviously, the schedule is what it is, you can only play the team in front of you.

That thought did occur to me when I made the post, but some of those opponents during October were a very different proposition then compared to how they finished the season, be it due to injury or form. Seattle were 2-0 (road game), Dallas 3-0, Tampa Bay were 2-2 but coming off a big win over the Rams who destroyed us, Jacksonville were 2-3 (road game) and Chicago were 3-2 (road game).
