Faux success will go to this front office's and fan's head

And more players will be injured in the mean time... I'm not sure this isn't an argument for teams around the league.

This team has gone 13-3 twice in the last 11 years and lost in the divisional round both times. There is a reason for that and you'd be intellectually honest to put together a reason as to why that is and see if it applies to this team that is currently 7-5.

Who is injured on the Saints?

The Saints will only be minus T Terron Armstead who is ruled out.

Oh.. just one guy.

You don't think missing their starting left tackle in a game where Brees was pressured nonstop was a significant factor in them losing? In a game where Brees threw an interception under pressure to essentially end the game?

All teams deal with injuries and have to play through them.

Yes, I do think it played a role.

How about missing our all-pro left tackle in a game our QB was sacked 6?? times

In addition to our all-pro center, our all-pro LB, our starting TE, our starting DT......

It is great to beat the Saints who are 10-1. Certainly the best team they've beaten in a long time, but this team isn't going to win playoff games consistently.

Scoring 13 points isn't going to get it done. You think the Saints have a top defense? They don't.

They played like they were in the Super Bowl tonight, but this won't get it done. The offense is a problem and if you can't see that, you're going to have to wait until they are 1 and done in the playoffs again.

Super Bowl defense

College offense

College special teams...

Great points but we do have to learn to accept the good times. Fans have become a bit negative over the past several years.
Let's take this win and enjoy it, but this one win doesnt make me believe that we are the 2007 , 2011 NY Giants.

What your talking about is not new in the NFL, just look at the JAGS from last year.. They bought into Blake Bortles fools good. Paid a mediocre QB 19 million a year and busted their salary cap. Jags had one year of success and it went to their head, they signed expensive def free agents and now are in a world of hurt.
I am really tired of moral victories, I need to have the Boys really win two games in the playoffs to be satisfied at least get to a championship game.

Considering I didn't and still don't think they'll make the playoffs, if they do, that's just icing on the cake.

You don't think the Saints will make the playoffs?
