The Patriots are an Elite team? Did anyone bother to tell that to Pittsburgh?

There are no elite teams. just teams.

Why dont we raise 10 kinds of living hell Sunday in the Dome,
and see if we can will our way to a perfect home record?

Awesome point, that's what we need.

Last year at this time, the Falcons looked like an elite team.

The Aints were born out of a 1-15 season after years of terrible losing. If the Saints have ten years of losing seasons and then go 1-15 it will be time to bring out the bag heads again.

I don't know what point you are trying to make with your comment, but, you missed the mark and seem like a Troll.

Wow... You just overreacted to my overreaction...

I was as pissed off as all of you after that game, and I've been somewhat disappointed with how the Saints have played on both sides of the ball this season, but I blame myself for getting too hyped up about the team and the new additions, and consequently, building up expectations in my mind that were near impossible to meet in the real world.

Actually, I blame the lockout for all those high expectations and the half-drunken free agency frenzy that ensued after the deal was made between the owners and players, which all made it seem like anything was possible.

Still, I firmly believe that this team can raise the Lombardi trophy at the end of the season, and if not - I'm just glad we have football this year!

Also the Packers lost back to back to the 2-2 redskins and the 2-2 dolphins. The dolphins game being in green bay. Sometimes a team just has your number.
