How do you see the first two games of the Saints’ season?

I thought nothing of the Carolina game, it was the Panthers and they stink. The Dallas game gave me hope that the Saints would be able to win more than 7 games this year. Ever since our back to back to back 7-9 seasons, I have gone into each season expecting 7 wins and anything after that was a bonus. After they expanded the schedule, I had us @ 7-10 and it looks like even this will leave me disappointed this year.
