Saints have had one of the tougher schedules, but whatever makes you feel better

It's a little skewed because while the Packers have a winning record, the Saints got them with Hundley. That team may not win another game this season without Rodgers, he's all they have.

The Saints best wins are against the schizophrenic Panthers and the 3-4 Lions (who dropped 40 on them).

6 of their next 7 are against playoff contenders with .500 or better records. The good news for them is 5 of their last 8 are indoors and only 1 will have a big risk of being a "bad weather" game (Buffalo). So they'll be in their comfort zone.

In fairness, the only 2 good teams you played are losses. The rest is pretty meh. Rodgers was out for Green Bay, I guess the @ Carolina win was decent. Miami Detroit Chicago and Tampa are not great football teams.

But the saints d is playing really well. Never thought I would say the cowboys and the saints have two of the better defenses right now.
