What must we do to prove them wrong?

"The NFC is the JV of the NFL, and one must factor in the depth of its inferiority in almost every consideration, from MVP balloting to the Coach of the Year race. If your schedule was dominated by 12 games against NFC teams -- and sorry, Drew Brees and Sean Payton, we're looking in your direction -- you simply weren't up against the same level of competition. Case closed. And lest you think that mere hyperbole, consider the following:

ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â¢ The NFC's six-team playoff field has never inspired less confidence. Top-seeded Chicago struggled to beat lightweights Tampa Bay and Detroit (six wins between them) the past two weeks, and is considered a good bet to be the least regarded 14-2 team in league history. The No. 2 Saints (10-5) are a great story, but their loss at home to Washington two weeks ago proved they're far from invincible, as has their 5-4 record in their past nine games."

A loss to the Skins doesn't prove that the Saints are invincible...

The answer to that question is ........WIN!!!! If we continue to do that, no one can doubt this team anymore. They can jock the AFC all they want, but if the Saints come marching in to Miami......the doubters will have to remove their feet from their mouths & shut the f*** up!

when you are just barely better than JV teams of the league... are ya really that good?

Look, like they always say. When It comes to the playoffs, you can throw all your records, and statistic right out of the f-ing window. Because, this is second season baby, It don't matter what the hell they say, they don't have to play. They will believe in early February. GO NFC SOUTH DIVISION SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The AFC can take all the awards, the Saints will take the rings!
