Too much optimism

I guess the sunshiners are out in force. The poll topic shows almost everyone thinks the Saints are going to win this weekend. While I'd love to see that happen, I disagree, and here's why.

1. We haven't beaten a good team all year.
2. Carolina plays two notches better when the season is on the line (i.e. the last 2 months and the playoffs last year).
3. Our guys are riding high after last week's victory over the Vick-less, Crumpler-less Falcons. That means a letdown this week.
4. Brooks will be trying to outdo Delhomme, meaning stupid decisions from the QB. OK, Delhomme will make some stupid decisions too, but his team will bounce back from his mistakes, while ours won't.

Here's to me being wrong, and to a better year for the Saints in 2005! Happy New Year!
