Who dat say they gonna beat them Saints!?

[shilala]

I picked New England 34-14 based on the sheer fact that NO hasn't played anyone this year. I thought they'd take a severe ass whooping.
I only watched the first half before I passed out, but was totally impressed by the Saint's speed.
I'm used to watching the Steelers. They look like they're running in hip boots.
Brees was incredible. I'll be following them a lot more closely, I love to see good ball.

Let's see:
Jets were 3-0 when they came to town and lost. (Still, that was early in the year)
Giants were 5-0 when the came to town and got beat.
Miami was on an upswing and doing good before the Saints took it to them.
Atlanta was playing pretty good football before running into the Saints.

My point is that these were all good teams when the Saints played them. Not so much afterward admittedly.

Yup.

What is amazing about them this year is that even in the games when the defense gave up points and Brees was not at his best or the offense at their best, the defense scored for them. They will put up points both offensively and defensively. Even when the defense doesn't score like in the Patriots game last night, they create turnovers that lead to points.
They are just an incredible all around team this year, barring any injuries.
Hard not to acknowledge them as the number one contender for a Super Bowl win, regardless of what team you are a fan of. Of course, on any given Sunday......................but the odds are still in the favor of the Saints, by a long shot.

Dayum. The Who dat's are looking real good.

Yeah, NO deserved that one, and Brady choked then quit.
Just be wary. As we found out, there is always an ill wind that can easily disrupt things.

We went 16-0, were headed to take it all - and didn't.

I'm not wishing it on them, as they are putting on some great games!
(I'm actually thinking on the possibility of meetign them again this year.... )

Agreed! Brady and Brees were wearing the same equipment on the field. The Saints just simply ripped the Patriots a new one last night. What a solid game played by the Saints. Excellent D as well as the Saints have a couple of ex-Packers on the team with Sharper and McKenzie. It appeared that Brees could unload passes at will on the Patriots last night.

Too bad that the D lineman for the Saints fumbled his pick up of the Patriots fumble. Would of been interesting to see how the game would of progressed from there with a Saints possession...
