Are the Saints going to win it again next year?

(Serious question; wanted to know your opinion)

no way man; the stars aligned for us this year. I think the Falcons make a run next year to be honest.

If recent super bowl runs show anything; it's that you need a VERY solid QB at the helm. There aren't many of those around and Ryan is one of them. Same reason Dallas (with all their talent) will never make it; Romo just isn't one of those dudes.

it's called objectivity; they are solid. Hate them probably more than you; but Ryan is a good solid QB. That being said I think someone out of the AFC wins next year. Whoever said Tampa as a SB contender already? Not yet...give them 4 or 5 years.

Thank you for the honest and analytical response.

The Falcons might make a run but being a Panthers fan, I know more about the Panthers than the Falcons and I think that this could be a good year for the Panthers. Maybe not a Super Bowl year, but Peppers is likely gone, the defense will have to change to accomodate but will have a better overall supporting cast. If Matt Moore turns out to be anything decent and a decent WR is picked up, it could be a good year.

I see Tampa Bay coming back and winning a few more than this past year. The Jets will be a contender. I have no clue who might take it all the way, though.

    • It's not only about the draft spots, the scheduling is a huge factor. We already have a tough 2026 schedule by playing the North divisions, that's possibly 7 playoff contenders there and a few true SB contenders between the Lions, Packers, Vikings, Bears, Ravens, Bengals, and Steelers (Browns will still suck lol), while also pulling the AFC West for the 17th game. Let's just say for the sake of argument we are going to be true contenders in 2026 in both scenarios Would you rather go 9-8 and to make the playoffs as the last WC or worst division winner, lose in the first round and then have to add likely the Eagles/Commanders, 49ers/Rams, and Chiefs/Chargers to an already tough schedule because we have a 1st/2nd round finish this year, while picking 19th in the draft (where the worst playoff team picks) or Or lose an extra game to finish 8-9, while ending up in 3rd (obviously need Falcons/Bucs to get a WC spot) and miss the playoffs, but then get to add likely the Cowboys/Giants, Seahawks/Cardinals, Broncos/Raiders to the schedule while picking 13th in the draft (the highest an 8-9 team picked this year). I can understand why some people would just want to go to the playoffs again, and I can't fault that thinking.  But I'm always a bigger picture person and looking at what is best for the future of the franchise and winning a SB, not my immediate feelings that game/season.   So I'm taking those 3 SIGNIFICANTLY easier games and the 6 better draft spots. If we're a true contender in 2026, those 3 games based on divisional finish could very well be the difference of a 1 vs whatever seed.  Right now the top teams in the NFC are the teams who play in places you don't want to have road playoff games at... GB, Detroit, Philly are some of the toughest stadiums to play in, especially if cold weather games for the outdoors ones.  Give me the few extra easier games to hopefully make the difference in getting home field advantage. Making the playoffs to just lose in the first round isn't worth the first scenario to me when the alternative is losing maybe one or two more games while looking better while doing so.  I can stomach those extra losses in a much improved season when it's for the betterment of our future.  
    • We also watched Cam take Carolina to the SB but how much did his career change when he went to the Pats? See how that works? You create a post just to rag on player on another team just because you hate. You love to do this stuff. I've seen it for a few years. You are one of the main problems on this site. Not just y0u but you're definitely one of them. This topic should be in the nfl general chat. As a mod I would think you would understand that but no. The mods need mods around here.  This is for Panther's material. Can a real mod move this thread to it's proper place please?
