We will all know which team is really a good 3-0 team right now. I haven't followed the Dolphins, bu you could argue the Saints were pretty lucky in the first two games.

There is no such thing as luck, just making most of the opportunities given to you...

Was it lucky that Vaccaro tipped that pass intended for Gonzo or do you credit K.V. for using his skills to make a great play on the ball?

No that was a good defensive play, the luck was more with Jackson dropping a ball that hit him in the hands on the play before. Then with the BUC's, I thought we were pretty lucky with the home field kicker missing the FG because that would have made us need a TD to win it (remember we were not exactly killing it in the red zone at that time).
Of course, both of these plays were the end of the games and a lot had happened prior to them to even get the Saints into these positions.

That's not lucky either, Jackson didn't make the most of his opportunity and the kicker choking in a clutch situation... If you give credit for a good play then you can't call luck when something bad happens...
