Could be.  This would be the argiment for the Bears winning.  

Yep, the Packers defense might not be as bad as I think.  They've played the Bears, 49ers, and Seahawks so far and those teams usually light up the scoreboards.  Watch them beat the Saints 41-38 this week. 

Last year the Packers defense was so bad that opponents averaged around 30 points per game. Basically, just about every offense would look good against the Packers defense.

Regardless, you are probably right that Saints vs. Packers will be a shootout. But here's hoping that Brees will continue to make bad decisions and that the Saints defense will continue to be atrocious.

Saying that the Packers defense will be better than last year means that you would prefer a punch in the gut to a kick in the crotch.  Of course I feel that the will be better than last year, but that doesn't mean that they will be very good.  Also, the Packers were scoring over 40 points a game so are you seeing red flags about the demise of the offense?  I'm not either since they played three very good defensive teams.  Three very good defensive teams that don't score much.  Do you see at all where I am coming from?

The real reason that the Saints are losing is not because of Brees, but because both the head coach and defensive coordinator are absent. No team would do well under those circumstances.
