No doubt the Saints are good, probably the best in the NFC but man did they luck out in their schedule, few difficult opponents and all challenges played on homefield.

Plus that kicker is a lucky gun, due for a miss because he has been plum sloppy in several games.

They'll get a 10+ win schedule next year. That'll be the barometer. Probably have Pittsburgh, Baltimore among other tough teams on their schedule.

Watching the Saints and all the weapons they have I really don't think we can beat them. I know that's a poor attitude and all but I really just don't think we can.

If they had an average, or below average, O-Line where we could get tons of pressure on them (The way the Giants got pressure on the Pats in 07) then I'd feel good but that won't be the case. Watching them play right now I'll honestly be shocked if we're within 17 points of them.

it just seems like they got homefield advantage during the season for meaningful games.

The Giants when they were hot, the Pats and then the Cowboys, those are the lone challenges on their schedule.

Garrett has to stay patient with the running game when we play the Saints

You could be right, but it's more likely to be a blowout...

You can't keep putting 3 on the board when your opponent is hanging 7 with ease...

You're right, that is a bad attitude to have. Neither defense is doing much to stop the other, the Patriots interception is what is keeping this game from being a back and forth shootout. Our offense, if Garrett allows, is able to chew up yards and clock. Tune it December 19th and I think you may pleasantly surprised at how our team performs

Are the Saints the best team the NFL has seen in decades?
