    Maybe...our road schedule may be tougher in 2025. We haven't had a lot of big wins on the road in the last 3 years.

    Maybe. But that's no excuse for a top team.

    True, but that would assume our expectations are having a top team next year.

    My expectations are tempered somewhat because our D lost a fair amount of key contributors, the WR's are a bit of an unknown, and BN will still be calling the Offense. I'm psyched about our OL and RB's and think DJL has the potential to really take a big step forward if he stays healthy. If the promising young talent on the D can step up and play like the D did in the latter half of 2024 we will have a chance to be a top team. If not, I'm thinking that we may only improve marginally.

    Skink, I've spent lots of time over the years in New Orleans, loved being around the French Quarters, and the food was awesome. Some of my favorite places were Mothers, Court of Two Sisters, Gumbo shop, the Italian Grocer for muffuletta's, Pat O Brians, Cafe du monde, Drago's, and 25 cent oysters at the Purple Parrot, Johnny Sanchez and that's only half of the places. Live in TN now but miss the gulf coast and New Orleans especially the crawfish.

    Such a unique place. I was a big fan of the Bon Ton Cafe on Magazine. Best bread pudding on the planet.

    Hoping for 8 wins. Not great but not a step backwards. More is always better.

    My time there was before you. Middendorf’s is a seafood restaurant off of I-55 in Manchac Pass between Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas. Specialty is catfish. Very cool place.

    Never tried one of those, but their debris po ‘boys were killer.
