Just because I don't think that the Saints isn't a train wreck doesn't mean a get right game means that everything is turned around. There is no doubt that the Pats are now a bad team with significant problems and should be dominated. The Texans do not seem to really be that team.

At this point the Saints' biggest problem is consistency. The offense sputters sometimes. The defense plays great for 3 quarters, then seems to let go of the rope. The punter booms some great balls inside the 5, then shanks one. Actually Groupe has been the most consistent. But even he could not pull it off when all the chips were down.

Today we saw all three phases work together consistently for an entire game. Really good to see. But as you rightly ask, can they do it again? And again after that? That's what it's going to take to really elevate this team to where we would like to see them go.
