I was gonna go 3-1 but then I remembered the Saints always lose the trap game. Rams will be that trap game and i see them lose to the Lions as well. 6-6… Lets just hope the Falcons finally collapse and the Saints are leading the division. how great would that be? I am still not having much hope for this season though. I am still already looking at next season. It should be awesome! A great team and then fill in some key positions with free agents. If you look at what they have acquired during the off season. It has been 50\/50. Laurenitis is not good. Fairly has a drop off now but there is Robertson and well Evans. I mean if they can hit on a few key positions they could go a long way. But first lets just get though these next 4 games.<\/p>\n
One tidbit left. Who do you think will be the goat and who will be the GOAT of the next 4 games? And of course we need to exclude Brees as GOAT. Because…. Just because. There is no question he is the GOAT always. So who do you pick?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nWow – so you have them defeating Denver AND Carolina, and then having the massive letdown of losing 2 straight to middling teams? Ugh. Man I hope that’s not true! Let’s start with the negative – the goat. Through absolutely no fault of his own, I’m going to say the goat is probably gonna be Terron Armstead. This is a guy the Saints need SO badly to be the best offensive lineman on the team, and I think that his injury (he probably should have been on the PUP or possibly even IR designated to return) is going to continue to limit him until he winds up on IR for real. He missed more than half the game against SF, and while that didn’t prove to be a huge deal, SF is decimated by bad decisions and injury. Teams like Carolina and Denver won’t be so courteous.<\/p>\n
The GOAT is going to be Brandin Cooks. Mike Thomas has arrived, officially, and the notion of leaving him to roam in single coverage and giving Brees an outlet on every passing down is simply something defenses cannot afford. Cooks is going to take advantage of Thomas’ attention in a big way, and is going to have a ridiculous month that will put him in pro bowl conversations.<\/p>\n
Marijn – talk to me about goats (and GOATS) …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nWell after Drumpf beating Hilary anything can happen right? Good choices on Goats. My GOAT is gonna be Thomas. I kinda stole him from you haha. You say he has arrived. No baby! Do you remember Jimmy graham how he was held beck year 1? Ingram was also held back year 1. Thomas can not be held back. He is gonna explode way sooner. I pick Thursday night vs the Panthers. He will score 3 TDs against the Panthers. He will be in serious rookie of the year conversation.<\/p>\n
The goat… I was thinking how about Brees? Well.. I thought hard about it. But it is not possible. He always has a lesser game, but I think this year, no. He will be awesome. At least the coming 4 games. My goat was my GOAT of the last 4 weeks. Lutz is very promising but he has never been really perfect. I think he is gonna miss one from 35 in the last seconds 2 points down. He is a cool guy but he has some technique problems. They will show that game.<\/p>\n
We started writing this Monday and I got Brian to barely reply me this last part. I do not know if he is lying in bed crying, getting drunk or contemplating the best way to flee the country… I just hope he is around in 4 weeks to do the next quarterly review. I hope you will be too. See you then!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
