I thought this was funny......
 

they have a poll on cbssportsline that is title "When will the Saints lose" and then it has our next 4 games listed, everyone seems to think next weekend. Im cool with that, every one thought we'd be 0-3 right now too....soooooo........

First we beat two crappy teams. Last night won't be counted because of the circumstance. If we beat the Panthers on Sunday they'll start to take us a bit more seriously, and I bet Payton will be preaching something similar starting today...

RE: I thought this was funny......
 

It will be interesting to see how the Saints perform next week, coming off a huge emotional win like this. I do hope they put this win behind and focus on beating carolina next week.

Bush after the game- "As Coach Payton tells us- Enjoy it tonight, digest it tomorrow, then back to work the next day."

The Saints have 13 weeks to improve their record from last year!!!!! It may only take one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably not even then. It'll probably take beating 2 of the 3 remaining teams in the AFC North to get any real consideration. Wins against Philly, Baltimore, and Cincinnati would merit some real consideration.

I don't think that whether we beat Carolina this week or not will have any bearing on the rest of the season. If the team deserves "one," this would be it, but I don't think that they'll let that happen. I agree with SFIAH that it's going to take a win against Baltimore and Philly to get some respect. Beating Cincy would make us SB XLI favorites and that's a little scary at this point.

I would be happy taking 3 of the next 4 at this point, but winning the next four certianly would be nice. Either way, I don't see the SAINTS getting much respect from fans outside of this area until AFTER we win the Superbowl.

I know this sounds bad but, I originally predicted 7-9. Then we beat Cleveland & GB. Then I changed it to 8-8. Now after Atlanta game I still only say 9-7 because like you said Baltimore, Philly, and Cinncinnati. One thing to remember Baltimore bearly got by Cleveland, so that gives me some hope at least.

I think its all a matter of gameplan, and as we saw last nite, we finally have that aspect in our team. Payton did a great job last nite gameplanning against a great running game and he has some time to GP for those big AFC games......
