Kellen Moore Fires Back at Low Win Projections: 'They’ll Regret Underestimating Us'

As the New Orleans Saints gear up for the 2025 season, expectations are high—but so are the stakes. Despite the preseason excitement, many analysts have placed the Saints’ win projection at a modest 7 games. However, head coach Kellen Moore is not having any of it, boldly declaring that his team will prove the doubters wrong.

In a recent press conference, Moore addressed the low win projections head-on:

“7 wins? They’ll regret underestimating us.”

Moore didn’t mince words, stating that the Saints aren’t here to simply meet expectations—they’re here to shatter them.

"They can give us a number, but I’ll show them something different. We’re not here to be anyone’s stepping stone. We’re here to leave a mark. This season will be a statement that the entire NFL will remember. We’ll prove that anyone who’s underestimated the Saints will face the storm we bring. This is our time to rise."

Moore’s confidence has fueled the energy around the team as they prepare for the season. With quarterback Derek Carr leading the charge and a revamped roster, the Saints have been quietly building momentum. Many insiders and fans feel that the team’s potential is being undervalued, and Moore’s remarks only add fuel to the fire.

While the Saints made it to the playoffs in 2024, they fell short of their ultimate goal. However, the team made significant moves in the offseason. The signing of key veterans, the emergence of stars like Chris Olave and Alvin Kamara, and the steady development of Carr under Moore’s leadership have all contributed to a sense of optimism surrounding the team.

The Saints have also built one of the most explosive offenses in recent years, with Michael Thomas, Juwan Johnson, and a healthy offensive line set to support Carr. The addition of defensive playmakers like Demario Davis and Marshon Lattimore has solidified the Saints' defensive game plan, giving them a well-rounded roster that could compete for the NFC South title.

As the season approaches, Moore is determined to silence any lingering doubts about the Saints' ability to compete for an NFC Championship. He acknowledges the challenge ahead but remains confident that his team has everything they need to rise above expectations.

“We’re not here to play it safe,” Moore continued. “We’re here to change the narrative, to prove we’re more than just a playoff team. We’re here to make noise, and we’re not backing down from anyone.”

With such a bold statement from their head coach, it’s clear that the Saints are entering the 2025 season with a chip on their shoulder. The stage is set for a thrilling season, and if Moore’s words are any indication, the Saints are ready to make their mark.

The Time for Talk is Over

Moore’s message is clear: the time for talk is over. The Saints are ready to back up their bold ambitions with results on the field. Whether they’ll exceed the low projections or prove the critics wrong remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the New Orleans Saints won’t go down without a fight.

As fans prepare for the season opener, the excitement is palpable. The Saints have a team ready to take on the league, and with Kellen Moore at the helm, they’re determined to make 2025 a year to remember.
