Close games / come from behind wins

I think last game had to do with the Bengals, more than us, as far as their comeback. Cedric Benson is on my fantasy team, and I've noticed all year they are just a mixed bag ... they suddenly show up for a quarter or so, then they revert back to pooping on themselves again.

If the Saints were winning come-from-behind games against the "elite" teams of the league, it would be one thing.

But having to do it repeatedly against clearly inferior teams, is IMO, troubling.

Occasionally a bad team will beat a better team, (see Cleveland vs New Orleans & New England).

But like the post above pointed out, you can only do that so many times before it comes back to haunt you.

the teams were beating now besides cincy, like dallas, seattle, are teams that will weed out playoff hopefuls. just like they could have taken us out. but look thats the way i see it we beat them and were moving on.
