Got the schedule off of the Saints website.
Now about your points.
1) No way? There was no way the Lions or the Bengals would get a win last year, but by some miracle it happened. It's called an upset, and considering the Colts with another year of Dungy's D and Edgerrin coming back strong, it shouldn't even be called an upset.
2) How? Because any team can win on any given Sunday. Fox isn't that incompetant, and last time I looked, the Panthers were 7-9 last year, a very respectable record.
3) The Giants are a tough team. Much tougher than you see them. Parcell has an incredible amount of talent to work with, Campo was just Jerry Jones's puppet, nothing more. Not to mention the fact that Parcells has improved on his new teams record the first year he was there. The Cowboys were 5-11 last year and are in a much tougher division, so the wins will come from somewhere.
4) Your Saints lied to us all then.
5) Yes, I'm denying it. Any other playoff offense you put them up against and they're even, if not worse. Hell, I'd take Tampa's offense over the Saints. Granted, I don't like my choices on either side there, but I'd take Tampa. Come on, Tennessee, Philly, the Giants, Washington, all of them should dominate the Saints.
Oh, and Turley was a lot more than you give him credit for, and just because a team has depth doesn't mean it will be good. From Tennessee to the Giants, the Saints will be facing teams with great rushers. You might want to buy Brooks an ass pillow because he's gonna be laying on his for many, many, weeks.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
