Do it again.

That's what the New Orleans Saints have to do, because it's a little early to declare they're fixed and every problem has been righted, even after Sunday's demolition of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Because it still is too soon favorably to compare them to the edition that every Saints team will be measured against, until another collection comes along and earns a Lombardi Trophy to be encased at the team's practice facility.

But that doesn't diminish the fact that it was comforting to see this season's Saints, at long last, offer a passable replica of last season's Saints against the Buccaneers. Their 31-6 victory should've calmed some nerves inside and outside the locker room.

"We don't look at it and try to compare this year's team to last year's team," Coach Sean Payton said. "We just try to look at it and say, 'Are we making progress? Are we getting better? Do we feel like there was improvement? Are we playing as well as we feel like we can play?'

"Typically, when you win a game like that, there are a lot of things that you're excited about and when you put the film on, there are some things still that you have to clean up, and it kind of brings you back to the middle. But ... there were a lot of good things."
