food for thought...........

Tell you what................

Do a poll (not just around here) and ask people the following:

Of these four teams, the Dolphins, Falcons, Rams and Saints.....if you had to pick one, who would stand the best chance of making the playoffs?

'Nuff said............!!!!

Take Dallas this week. No one, and I mean NO ONE is the least bit concerned about he Rams coming to town. If the Saints we're coming to town, do you think the Cowboy team and faithful would be whistling through the graveyard?
Doubt it. The Saints are dangerous, stats or no stats. If the Falcons, Dolphins (who Dallas already dismantled), or the Bills (in two weeks) were up this week, same thing.
No one is looking past the Saints on their schedule. Not after that display last year, and with basically the same crew. 0-3 not, your mistaken about them being on par with those other teams.

Sorry I look at the stats and not just the over hyped - over achieveing players and the way the teams are playing. The Saints aren't showing they can live up to there over achieveing year. The other teams were more in the games than the Saints have been.

I mean I want the Saints to win as much as anyone but I choose to live in reality instead of fantasy. Until we get coaches and people finally realize and take the time (2-3 years)to build O line and D line we are going to be a team that gets lucky and have a winning season at best every 6-8 years. 40 seasons and we have had 8 winning season. Reggie isn't the savior a dominating O line and D line you can put anyone in the back field and win.

Euph, I dig you man. You and I have been on this site for awhile and I feel a quasi bond with you.
That said, yes the Saints have been underwhelming but out of the Dolphins, Rams, Chiefs, Falcons, Bills and Saints, I'd much rather be a Saints fan.

Of course I'll always be a Saints fan. This team has more promise than the other teams. We'll still see the playoffs. Just look at the power rankings. The three teams that we lost to are in the top 15
