saints haven’t really beaten a good squad. They damn near lost to a rookie truabiksy if it wasn’t for a blown call on the td to Miller. Caught Winston hurt badly. Caught Stafford banged up bad bad. Hundley was QB for Green Bay. Etc etc. They have gotten Extremely fortunate and lucky. Which if you remember happened in the super bowl year too. They faced garbage qb after garbage qb.

I get you're trolling but do a little more research. The blown call would've cut the Saints lead, not given the bears the win. Unless the narrow eagles wins over powerhouses like San Diego and the NYG impress you.

Eagles have beaten Carolina and Washington.

Vikings have beaten new Orleans and Washington.

Saints have beaten Carolina and Buffalo.

Rams have beaten Dallas and Jacksonville.

None of them have beaten much.

Brady, Warner, Favre, Manning. A bunch of scrubs I tell you.

The NFL isn't college. There are no guaranteed wins. Hence, any given Sunday.

Now this is good stuff right here. He's right though. Those 3 QBs we faced in the playoffs were sooooo shitty

In the postseason, they faced Kurt Warner, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning.

In the regular season, they faced Brady, McNabb, Eli, Romo and Ryan twice. That's all I can remember right now.

I know two things about boom:

1. He’s the resident idiot on this board
2. He hasn’t watched the saints defense at all this year and only regurgitates what the garbage sports media says






I learned all of that from this thread
