This is very similar to Saints fan base except for the field storming.

Except it's not. We are cautiously optimistic at the moment, and it should be understandable because of a few reasons:

1) Our division is horrendous. We might only need 3 or 4 more wins to take it.

2) The last 3 games are encouraging. They blew the game in Detroit, but Detroit is proven to be a solid team. It took a massive frick up to blow a game they were dominating, and unfortunately that happened. They blew GB out and then went on the road where no one expected them to win and destroyed Carolina. They are playing well.

3) Favorable schedule down the stretch. 3 straight home games with a chance to get them to 7-4. The only away game that I am truly wary of is @PItt. Chicago is on the brink of imploding and Tampa is awful.


It's not unrealistic given all of this that they get things rolling. There's a reason many people picked them to go to a Superbowl, and that's because this is one of the more talented rosters in the league; along with an elite quarterback and coach. No one thinks they are near the best right now, but we believe they can get a good streak going. Once they are in the playoffs, who know what could happen.
