If we start 0-2 AGAIN, its gonna be a see-saw season.

What they dont tell you is that in their simulation DA got fired after the 2-4 start

Glad to see the computer also simulated Kamara's legal troubles and determined he plays a full season. Also looks like it simulated Michael Thomas's medical concerns and he mostly stays healthy. Modern technology is amazing!

Yep. This computer is made by Sunshine Pumpers Inc. lol

Jamal Williams gets 69 carries the whole season? 4 carries a game. Regardless if AK gets suspended or not, thats ridiculous barring a major injury.

Regardless,100% of this is comical. Youd think PFF would have a little more realistic idea about football.

Not only does it have us at 0-2, we then are 2-4. No way we do that and then finish 13-4.

 

[Saintsphere]

This fanbase if we are 2-4 will be hilarious

With the Saints propensity for slow starts, I would be happy with 6-4 going into the bye. The way the schedule is setup, we can crush the last seven games

@CrusaderSaint, do you have the link to the original article? Are you a Brother Martin grad?

They must’ve used the new Madden game for this simulation

Can you imagine this board after week 6?

Can you imagine this board after week 6?

Can you imagine yourself after a week 6 loss to the Texans?

I know I could...checked out and setting up a trip to the zoo during the week 7 game

 

[Summed7]

what they forgot to mention in this simulation is they fire D.A. after a 2-4 start and we go on to fire off 11 wins in a row.

This is PFF we are talking about...lol.

I do. I know "DA's not a good head coach", "DA's not an alpha", yada yada yada. But, there's a lot of similarities in Carr's game to Drew's. With the weapons the Saints now have on offense, I don't think a 2012 offense and a top 5 defense is unrealistic.

2012?

 

[jahsoul357]

2012?

I'm not going to lie; I said the same thing in my head. I was like "dang, wasn't that the season Drew led the league in interceptions?"

 

[Snakehead]

That's about what I'm projecting with the weapons on offense and a QB to run the offense. 50 TDs is the key to having a good/great team that could get deep in the playoffs and be a contender.

With the receiving weapons, I'm projected Carr 35-40 TD range at ~5K passing yards. This simulation puts it right in that range. Also, people are getting hung up on who gets what stats. Look at it as a position group stats. Maybe Kamara doesn't get those numbers with the suspension, but as a RB group, could they total ~2.5K total yards, 1.5K rushing yards with 11 rushing TDs, that's not unrealistic especially with a balanced offense.

The 17 game season and rules that benefit passing attacks and scoring points we'll see more QBs hit 5K passing yards.
