Carucci counting Saints out...

It sounds like Vic Carucci, the exalted prognosticator/commentator of NFL.com fame is already counting the SAINTS out of contention for the Big Game, much less making it to the NFC Championship game.

He begins his column today by saying... "Plenty. Although the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Green Bay Packers no longer reside in the same division, they do share a league-best 8-2 record. That means the winner could very well end up playing host to the other team in the conference championship game."

I for one don't put much faith in most of the so-called NFL experts because I don't believe many if not any of them will give the SAINTS their due before we have at least won a conference title, maybe even a Superbowl.

What's your take? Are the SAINTS being counted out too early? Do they still have a legitimate shot at making it past the first round or two of the playoffs? Can they do what they need to do down the stretch to prove Carucci and his cronies wrong?

Go SAINTS!!!!!
