I can see your point, but the thing is, this is a midterm-year season coming up, which means we face the AFC North, whom we seem to match up terribly against.
Brees has NEVER beaten the Ravens, and no matter how awful they are, the expansion Browns have ALWAYS been a thorn in our side.

Hell, look who their first win as an expansion team in 1999 was against.
Also, the Bengals tend to give us problems when we face them as well.
Sidenote: We somehow fare well against the Steelers, though.
And usually, the Funboys

take the NFC South during even-numbered seasons.
