but, damn, I may just be an optimist at this point. After the loss to Carolina I went on the record (yeah, go look it up) saying I thought the Saints could and would be 4-4 after their next three. Now, it looks like everything is falling into place.

I knew that a couple of confidence building games against the Bears and Falcons could get our O back on track. The Bears game was shaky and I was not pleased, as many others on this board, but I kept thinking - it's a win. It gets us one step closer and helps turn the tide. Now, finally, the offense clicks. Yeah, it was the worst defense in the league, but I DON't care what anyone says, a corner was turned.

The defense still has a ways to go. 17 points to a bad Atlanta team is not good. We gave up as many to the damn Bears also. Still, a corner has been turned.

I also believed, and still do, that Carolina was/is playing over their heads. Yeah, they were 5-0, but other than Tampa, had they beaten anybody? OK, Indy was impressive, but that just made me feel even more strongly that they were in for a let down and a losing streak. That team is very beatable. If we can jump out against them next week like we did today (after Atlanta's initial score), they'll have no chance coming back.

I also wanted to see Tampa show that they were well off of last year's performance. I thought that the come back by Indy might be the turning point for that team. Losing to the 49ers. They're a Jeckle and Hide team this year. They can play like champions one week and chumps the next.

I don't know boys. I think a corner may have been turned today. Right now we're 0-for against teams with winning records and 3-0 against teams with losing records. The Carolina game is a time to prove we're back. Our next two are going to be tough. If we can find a way to win those two, I will firmly believe that we are play-off bound. Right now, it's hard not to feel a little excited at the posibilities. We're almost right back in the hunt. And I don't want to jinx it by being optimistic just yet, so I'll just say, Go Saints Go.
