re: Saints Passing D

I think we can win at Buffalo, but again, those are typically the games we lose. Up north. Cold. Tough defense. But this team has been winning in different ways than past so I'm more confident than previously.
I do think we win at home against the Redskins.

Up there the cold isn't as worrisome as the potential for wind and precipitation. That stadium can become a nightmare for passing. Particularly the brand the Saints employ where they want to take deep shots.

The good thing, however, is that this team has shown the ability to run the football. Also, while I think the defensive turnaround has been somewhat aided by the good fortune of playing bad/injured QB's, I don't think that tells the entire story. This IS a much improved defense.
