I think ppl were foolish to write off the Saints last year b/c of the significant personnel changes in the offseason - every year there is a new young, hungry, talented team that rises up.

I don't understand--when people were writing off the Saints--who were 3-13 in 2005--as a poor team, you thought they were foolish? After the fact or what?
Hmmm I am not going to buy what you're selling.

Sorry if my point wasn't clear - no, I did not predict the level of the Saints success. My point is only that teams go from bad to good in a year usually because of a significant change in personnel / addition of key rookies / free agents / coaching, etc.... The Saints had all this.
The Giants and the Redskins do not, thus I think predicting mediocrity for them is more reasonable than predicting mediocrity for other teams because there hasn't been much change in the offseason for those two teams - and they were mediocre last year.
But I do agree that the term "no chance" does get thrown around too easily.
