Is that before or after Decemver?

Just kidding.

I'll be at that New Orleans game. It'll be the toughest game for me personally IF we lose it.

I think NO has a hell of a team this year. There's a good chance it's a tough game for your personally.

I agree out of all the teams in the NFC NO worries me the most.

Their passing game is great, but until proven otherwise they have two shortcomings that make them vulnerable. Not much of a running game and a very mediocre defense.

Still, playing them there is always tough and I do think they'll win that division. So its definitely a tough game. Especially where it is on the schedule. (Right after Giants/Chargers, right before Skins/Eagles)

I'm not sure about "toughest" but the most important games of the year will be the NO and GB games on the road. These games will be huge for playoff seeding. We need to at least get a split there.

Predicting the toughest and easiest games in preseason never really works out the way you think, once the season starts.

Injuries to our and opposing teams and teams playing below and above expectations always change the matchups.

Last preseason, we all thought the Rams game was going to be a cakewalk.

Didn't really turn out that way.

Their offense should worry everyone. Their defense should worry no one.

We play a lot of good QB's this year. Atlanta is going to be tough as well. They can run it or throw it. I expect the Saints will be fighting for a playoff spot in December. Our defense will have to step it up big time this year!

New Orleans worries you more than Phiadelphia, Atlanta, or even Green Bay?

I watched Green Bay's game replay the other night. That's a good football team.

Yup those are all good teams...but NO worries me more...Why you ask? last year they had some of their best Defensive people pretty banged up... here is their starting front 4... Charles Grant, Sedrick Ellis, Kendrick Clancy, Will Smith...thats a pretty solid group... their back 4 Tracy Porter, Roman Harper, Darren Sharper, Jabiri Greer...another solid group...their LBers are average with Shanle, Fujita, Vilma... their Defense will be atleast middle of the road...which should be good enough...because their Off is probably top 3-5.

They do have some issues, but I think Greg Williams was a great hire as DC, and that passing game, with a moderately improved defense, is going to be tough to beat.
