We're not a team of destiny

I don't like that phrase "team of destiny" to describe the 2009 Saints. To me, that implies that we have some deficiencies, but we overcome them with heart and perseverance. We're playing above our talent level. We're "the little engine that could." Maybe that describes the 2006 Saints, playing off the emotion of the first season back in the Dome but ultimately got outmatched by a more talented team (did I just call the Rex Grossman lead Bears talented?!?!?). This team is just good! Plain and simple. In every phase of the game - from the coach to the punter - we're just better than everybody else. That's why we have won, that's why we will win. Brees chasing Marino's records, Bush trying to have a break-out season, fans hungry for a winning team - all that takes a back seat to the fact that we can just outgun, outmuscle, outcoach, and outscore any other team in the league this year.
