This thread is nothing but excuses and rationalizing away the success of other teams. Seems kind of pathetic, IMHO


It's called being realistic. It's the NFL and the Jets aren't a bad team. They simply had a bad week.

Seattle is a very good team, but not as good as many make them out to be.

Same goes for SF, but SF has 1 win against a team with a winning record and 2 blowout losses to an 8-1 team and a 5 win team at home. Saints have lost to a 5 win team and 7-2 team both on the road and by a combined 9 points.

That isn't to say they aren't great teams, but they aren't head and shoulders above anyone right now. Seattle could've easily lost to an 0-7 team at home today.

SF is going to be a much different team with manningham, Crabtree, and Aldon smith back.

No team has a better running game, and the defense is getting healthy and will be a top 3 defense.

Cincinnati disagrees with you.

The Saints are what they are: a defensive liability and a one-dimensional offense. If Brees has a bad game, they lose. If he plays lights-out they win. Sure, the two losses came outdoors, but considering that playoff matchups agains Seattle, San Fran & Carolina, not to mention the Super Bowl, would probably be outside, I'm not getting my hopes up for a playoff win this year. I gave up my seat on the bandwagon after the Pats game when the D showed its true colors. Looking at the schedule ahead, 9-7 would be a good finish for this team.
