Why on earth would a Saints fan troll? It perhaps is a new experience for him to have any form of bragging rights. My advice to him would be to not sour the tremendous amount of goodwill that many Cowboy fans have toward the Saints.

This year's Saints remind me of the 2003 Cowboys. They have their strengths and their moments, but fall short against tough opponents.

Tough opponents like the 3-0 Falcons, the 4-1 Eagles, a .500 San Fran team who had won 3 out of their last 4? Wait... the Saints won all those games.

Granted, the Saints have sucked against the AFC, losing at home to Baltimore, Cincy, and on the road to Pittsburgh. But that's essentially irrelevant when you look at the playoff picture. If you have to lose games, you want to lose out-of-division, out-of-conference games. The Saints are 7-1 in the NFC and are firmly in the driver's seat for a first round bye.

Don't downplay what the Saints have done this year and us Saints fan won't downplay what the Cowboy's have done. These teams are very evenly matched and it should be a close game.

The Saints are the second best team in this year's NFC, Sunday will show just how close or distant they are to the best team which is Dallas.

No we don't. We lost to Jacksonville (7-5), New York (6-6), Washington (4-8, and we should have won if not for a blocked kick and a horrible officals call on the last play) and Philly (5-6)

We've lost to two teams with losing records, and have much more impressive wins.

This is the NFL, not the BCS. Quality wins mean nothing. Indianapolis (who you claim is the best team in the NFL) has won two games by 1 point, two more by 3 points, one by 5 points, and two by 7 points. That's 7 games the Colts have won by 7 points or less.

What's more is that you say the Cowboys have lost to two teams with losing records. The Saints have lost to only one team who currently has a losing record, the Steelers (and that's regardless of the outcome of tonight's game). So what's your point?

I agree 100%. I just get annoyed when either side tries to overblow what their team has accomplished, although I understand it's expected. Truth is, two very similar 8-4 teams will meet Sunday.

EDIT: I just caught the "best team which is Dallas" part. I don't necessarily agree with that, but I do agree we'll see how close either are to the best NFC team which is the Bears.

LOL at Saints fans bragging about their D and saying they will crush Romo. HAHAHA
