I have the Panthers finishing ahead of the Bucs, but other then that pretty much in agreement on how the division will turn out.
I think it will be a very competitive division with the top three teams, although I wouldn't be surprised if any of the top three teams (Falcons, Saints, Panthers) won the division.
I think we are going to be worse than that SG. We have a rookie QB and a draft bust. Many people forget that Ward was playing with a top 5 offensive line. He's ok if you ask me. Kellen Winslow is on the verge of being a draft bust. The only guys I like on the Bucs are Bryant,Rudd, and Joseph.
No it's not Deuce couldn't produce last year so how is that a key loss, Pierre Thomas led the Saints running game, but the running game is still lackadasial at best. Drew Bree's in my opionion is the third best QB in the league right now and the Saints ever could get a defense they could be Superbowl contenders.

Well when you are the all time rushing leader...injury or not last year. They still lost him. Reggie Bush is slowly becoming a bust and Duece was a very reliable back until he got injured last year.

The Saints might very well have the best offense in the NFC, and will feel no effects of losing Deuce. So I'm not even sure what the argument is about.
As Bob said the Saints biggest problem is on defense which is probably the worst defense of anyone who I would consider a playoff contendor.
Hey there's a chance we might go 3-13. So you would be 1 win off. Not bad if you ask me. By the way, I told everyone that Freeman was going to be the steal of the draft
