Watching this Cardinals-49ers game tells me something
 
All the pundits and message board know-it-alls keep talking about how overrated we are, how we've struggled against average teams, how we haven't played any good quarterbacks, how we haven't gone against good defenses, how we struggle on the road, how we're one-and-done in the playoffs, how we're the worst 13-0 team ever, blah blah blah. One week the Vikings are better than us, the next week it's the Cardinals who are better than us.

Well, I'm sitting here watching this week's "flavor of the week" getting their butts kicked by a barely-average 49ers team, a week after the Cardinals beat the last flavor of the week team in the Vikings.

All this tells me is that we are 13-0, and we are better than those teams. Anybody who wants to talk crap about this team doesn't have a leg to stand on and they know it. Remember that next time some two-bit "analyst" tries to convince you the Saints are doomed.

You are damn right, we get it done week in and week out.

We are. I agree

I also am getting sick of watching Saints and Colts highlights from the weekend games. I hear about the Saints so much I'm not following the teams in NFL much anymore.

There are very few really good teams in the NFL anymore. Parity= mediocrity. I don't think we're a truly great team when you compare us to the great teams of the past. We're just better than any body else in the league right now. We are one the great offenses though.

maybe so, parity = mediocrity but back then only the big market teams that were established had any chance of winning anything. Thats why there were the dynasties.

Leave it to you to nail it Halo.
I am kinda getting Saints overload too.

Let the "Talking Heads" blab... And they will.

Let them doubt.

Let them fail!

We believe!

They are not us.

When they try to jump aboard (and they will), ignore them.

Seeing Benson hoisting the Lombardi Trophy will validate your Faith!

I wish there was a way to cut to the chase, but it just doesn't happen that way. We will have to play our way to destiny.

Any Given Sunday Guys. We've been able to finish games and not lose confidence. Playoffs will be a whole other level of play. Phily is playing really good ball right now.

Playoffs are a different animal, but remember that the Eagles were the "hot team" when they visited the Dome in the 2006 Divisional Playoffs.

Wasn't a blowout, but we took care of business. We will do it again if they come to NO.

Parity does not mean mediocrity.

Any NFL team now would beat the snot out of the best NFL team from 30 years ago. The athletes are bigger, faster, quicker and better coached. Techniques are light years ahead of the old NFL.

Drew Brees is a stunning example of this. He is an expert at placing the ball exactly where he wants to. He makes quarterbacks of yesteryear look amateurish.

The old NFL was a rougher game in all respects. Today's NFL is a polished machine filled with athletes dedicated to nothing but football.

Cardinals - can't trust 'em. Can't crown 'em either.

The difference between the Saints and the Vikings/Eagles/Cardinals is that we could actually win a freakin Superbowl if we got there.
