One of the most inaccurate things I heard mentioned several times in major media this past week is that the Saints are nowhere near the same team on the road. This may be the perception but the reality is that the Saints have the best road record in the NFL since 2009. Now 23-12.

The 12th man for the seachickens is legit but no team wins on the road like our boys.

there were a lot of people here who didn't think we could win in chicago either because of previous games there...you just really never know.

Well, the perception comes from our playoff away games.

And isn't that what we're talking about?

I'm so glad this was finally mentioned.

The Saints are sitting at 5-1 going into a bye, with 2 very winnable games after. hey are two games the Saints will be the heavy favorite in, followed by a prime time game vs the Cowboys at home. This team easily, and should be, 8-1 after 9 games.

After that, comes the tricky part.

SF
@ATL
@SEA

If the Saints somehow manage to go 2-1 over this stretch I think you can pencil them in for a top 2 seed. That would have them at 10-2 with CAR, @STL, @CAR and TB remaining. I would bet money on them winning 3 of these at a minimum.

I think we are looking at a 12+ team this season, if they can stay healthy. That was a tough game against New England, but the bye week should really help the team out a lot. The Seahawks will have a few more slip ups, the team is in good shape right now.
