Dare we say it now?

After a quick peek at the remaining schedule, is it inconceivable that our beloved Saints could actually go undefeated? To be fair and impartial, there are games that could get us,...but is it not indeed now possible in light of the team's success? They do have Heath Evans and Dave Thomas, both former Pats who played on that 18-1, almost 19-0 team. Perhaps they learned something from that experience and can help the Saints reach that milestone.

Smash (and others) If you jinx us and screw this up I'm going to cut and burn all you guys and gals saying (gulp) the un-de***ted word, much less the ones saying (double gulp) S****bowl!

NO JINXING!!!

I did look at the schedule and right now things are looking good. Still, 6 games against the division, so it could get crazy very quick. Right now New England appears to be the toughest opponent, but truth be told, pretty meaningless in the big picture. If the Saints take care of the division, things should be nice in the end.

If there's even a hint that you don't think it's time to start thinking, then you should act on that feeling. Has a 5-0 Saints team ever done anything?

Keep that in mind until February 10, 2010.

I want our boys to stay hungry, and worry about every game like it is important, because it is.

I hope we remain grounded and focus for the Miami game. I'd hate for the Miami game to become a trap game... it's a perfect spot for it. We definitely should enjoy the win but take it in stride... it's a long season.

Papz I am with you, but if it does happen- it could be a good thing. Only meaning if we get big heads it might be good for us to get grounded and learn a leson, and to learn it early. Plus if we are going to drop one let it be on the road before Atlanta comes to our house.

I'd settle for a Super Bowl berth. Going 16-0 would be a lot of pressure going into the playoffs but, we're looking strong. I just think there's a reason it's only been done once, it's highly improbable that we go 16-0 but at this point, home field advantage throughout the playoffs is in reasonable reach.

Home field in the playoffs is gonna be huge for the Saints. Anytime the Saints have been decent on defense, the Saints have been tough in the Dome. Saints look solid. Well prepared, well coached, and the leadership to keep things going. This is the best I've ever felt about a Saints team including the teams from the late 80's early 90s.
