It has always been like this. Even when we won the superbowl the media was all over the fact we lost 3 straight prior to the playoffs. The Saints have always have not gotten the respect they deserve. We will not for as long as we are not perfect.... Even then. It is like if the Browns finally start playing well, it will take them years of winning seasons to get any respect. I think the Saints have to win 2 more superbowls to start being favored any given year.
Ross Tucker thinks the saint will not only win it all but has them as the best team in the NFL. But if you polled all talking heads 80% will pick the 49ers and if we advance 95% will favor the Packers. It is now and will always be this way. |

I wouldn't pay any attention whatsoever as to who picked who. They say one thing one day, a different the next. Sapp himself said on NFLN not 3 days ago "defenses no longer win championships, offenses win championships" and went on a rant as to why.

Last year all we heard about was Skid Britches (aka Shatty Slice or Matt Ryan). He FAILED. What are they saying about him now? Earlier this season he was well on his way to ELITE status. Where are the pundits now? Who eats their own words here? ELITE=2/4ever |

I like those guys too and I think a lot of ppl are picking against us to boost ratings and make the 9'ers appear to be really something, which they aren't. lol

We have Drew Brees and you have Alex Smith. Advantage Saints.

People seem to have forgotten that SFran wanted to show Alex Smith the door before Harbaugh got there and taught Smith how to manage a game. Harbaugh's whole philosophy going in was to just show Alex Smith how not to lose the game as QB. The decent season Smith is having is just a pleasant, unexpected by-product of that philosopy and a tribute to Harbaugh's talent as an NFL coach. He will undoubtedly win a SuperBowl or two, Harbaugh that is, just NOT this year.
go Saints. |
