I think it's great. We're 13-3 and flying under radar again.

We can dismiss the three game skid to injuries and resting players in the third game. After a week off we should have no excuses.

We might as well just forfeit now. The national sports media has already declared us DOA in the playoffs...

Haha! The same media had us in the bottom third of teams at the beginning of the year. I LOVE our chances. We need to tear the roof off the Dome with noise next Saturday. Thanks God Greer and Porter are back and healthy!

Hey, all that matters right now is winning the next few games with a reinvigorated team. Most likely Sean Payton doesn't consider this a three game skid. We have the most important parts of the puzzle coming together at the right time. We have HFA and a bye week to make things click again.

I wonder how much different this would all sound if we had beaten Tampa Bay???

Isn't that what this all boils down to?


We lost to a Dallas team that was desperate for a win and had just played a very good chargers team well. Meanwhile, the media was rubbing their collective noses in the same poop pile they are trying to rub ours in. Dallas responded.

Yesterday, we rested several key people the entire game and many more some or most of the game. The Colts did this and so did other teams with nothing to gain in playoff seeding.


So all this hating on the Saints boils down to us losing 1 game that we shouldn't have, combined with the sports media's desire to have their hand picked 4 teams in the conference championships (and we're not in their number).



Something tells me that the writer of this column will be "surprised" that the Saints came out of nowhere to win it all...

One more comment on how stupid this column is.

How can the Saint be any lower than #4 ????

Two of the six NFC teams WILL BE ELIMINATED before the Saints even take the field.

Surely in his infinite wisdom this NFL expert "knows" which two teams are going to lose and should be ranking them #5 and #6.

Hard to be a scary team when you are already eliminated...
