Yes the Saints lost to the Bucs and barely got past the Browns, but that was week 1 and 2.
Who cares if you're a Saints fan?
Since then they have hit their stride they have been utterly dominant in the NFL.
On the other hand, we have beaten the Seahawks twice, the Broncos, the Packers and the Chiefs by a field goal or less.
If you throw in the Vikings at 7 points that is well over 50% of our games that we have won by a score or less and lost none by that margin. That is utterly insane!
On top of that, we have played probably the 3 worst teams in the entire NFL in the 9ers, Cards and Raiders.
In 11 games we have easily beaten only one good team - the Chargers.
We really are not that good.
Or maybe we are.
Maybe stats lie.
I love you enthusiasm in suggesting we are better than the Saints.
But to believe that you have to use the eyeball test, because the stats are not your friend.
Especially as they already beat us by more than we beat our opponents.
All that being said, I think if we can get them in LA we canb beat them. And who knows, maybe in New Orleans too?
There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
