PFF - have y'all seen this

There have been some key/wholesale changes to both the Saints' players and their staff over the last couple of years. This year will be no exception. To assume that in July the media (or any of us for that matter) will know how everything will mesh together for the 2023 season is preposterous. (And perhaps even a bit unwise for those who frequent the sports gaming apps.) There's just too many intangibles.

Of course, once we get a chance to see the pieces come together in the first few 'real' games, many opinions are going to change; some for better and some for worse. Part of the excitement of every new NFL season is the anticipation of what the personnel 'updates' will do to put your favorite team closer to the dream of a championship season.

Do we have the formula right this time? Will we cruise through our division and garner one of the top seeds in our conference? Or will we struggle just to stay in the playoff hunt from week to week? Optimism is understandably high in the Big Easy. Most of us here could probably give a fair list of reason why the Saints should 'easily' finish out with a winning season. But in July the same can be said about every other fan base in the league.

I just hope that the ball will bounce in our direction more times than not this year. If it does, there's no reason why the Saints shouldn't have an outstanding season in 2023. No matter what the media clickbait says.
