We should have beat the 9ners, convincingly, and we did. Good job - but let's not kick back and put it on cruise. We've got a long way to go.

As easy as this game was today I still won't "kick back", but if we beat the Jacksonville I'll be a little more excited as to what's going on with the Saints.

Don't poke the hornet's nest. The fact is except for possibly the Carolina game, the Saints are continuing to evolve into we thought they were. They are beating the teams that they are supposed to beat. They are still strugging against tough physical defenses. The defensive line (which Euph complains about) still isn't getting enough pressure on the opposing QB.

That said we are back in it. After fast starts both Carolina and Tampa have hit the skids in the second quarter of the season. The AFC South is the best division in football and they are streakbusting the NFC South whenever they meet.

Next week will be a good test for our improvements:

1) Jacksonville is committed to running the ball. The Saints have improved on rush defense. Let's see if it holds.

2) The Jags have a tough punishing defense that the current Saints offense tends to struggle against. Let see how the offense holds up next week.

If we had won the Carolina game I wouldn't be as pressed about this game as I currently am. But we need it going into the a home stretch that could possibly result in the Saints being one of the hottest teams in the NFC going into the playoffs.

To win the division all we will need is 7 more wins but I would love it if we could win out the rest of the way and with our schedule it's entirely possible. Toughest game is this weekend against the Jags or against Philly in December both at home.

Carolina's schedule will eat them alive the rest of the way and they will finish 7-9 and the Falcons are headed for a 3-13 campaign.

Buccaneers are the only competition and they still a schedule comparable to ours. So it will be down to the finish unless we can win 8 or 9.
