The Atlanta Falcons smell blood in the water. With all of the
turmoil that the New Orleans Saints have experienced this offseason, it will be
hard for them to repeat their stellar performance from last season when they
went 13-3 and advanced to the Divisional round of the playoffs before losing to
the San Francisco 49ers.
The Saints only lost three games during the regular season
last year and two of those games came while head coach Sean Payton was out with
a knee injury. Payton won’t be coaching at all in 2012. The Saints are too
talented of a team to drop to the bottom of the standings but it will make them
a more vulnerable opponent.
