Amazing Saints Stat

I was curious so I looked this up.
Over the last 2 years, the Saints have played 34 games not counting the last game against Carolina last year when the starters didn't play. Over those 34 games, the Saints have lost a total of 10 games. These are the margins of defeat:
5 (at Was in 2008)
2 (at Den in 2008)
3 (Min in 2008 *don't get me started on that game)
23 (at Car in 2008)
14 (at Atl in 2008)
3 (at TB in 2008)
3 (at Chi in 2008)
2 (Car in 2008)
7 (Dal in 2009)
3 (TB in 2009)
So over the last 34 games, we have only lost by more than 7 twice! Once to Carolina 30-7 in 2008 (Carolina went 12-4) and 34-20 to Atlanta in 2008 (Atlanta went 11-5), both road games. How's that for consistency.
For comparison sake, the Colts had 4 meaningful games in the last 2 years where they lost by more than 7.
The Falcons? In their last 32 games have had EIGHT games where they lost by more than 7 of which six were by 13 or greater.

I was among the predicting a Lombardi crowd last year. Believe me, I don't drink Kool-Aid. I was extremely cynical the last couple of Haslett years. I predicted it last year cuz the team had really been on the cusp. It started to come together team-wise and what you see beyond the wins and losses. Repeating is very hard because the margin of difference is so small. The key is organization. In a recent poll of 64 players the Saints came out way higher than what they would from the talking heads (they are generally a couple of years behind the curve IMO). One player summed it up nicely, "You have to be impressed with what they have done there. You know the Saints are going to be in the hunt every year."
