actually trainwreckmolly could be on to something. Drew Brees and New Orleans' overall potent offense makes it difficult for us to take off our Black and Gold colored glasses.
to back up his poignant point, one could look to the modern trials and tribulations of the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots. Indianapolis most specifically. too often in the NFL teams rack up seasons that flirt towards perfection, only to be smacked down in the playoffs by an NFL team that has 4 losses on the year but happens to be heating hot. it's almost like when you lose in the regular season, if you are a good football team your world-class coaches will make some adjustments and recognize how not to lose again.
however, I am a firm believer in Sean Payton, Drew Brees, their triple-headed beast of a running attack - and their better than average defense. this year is bassackwards because the NFC has two teams that yet deserve to be SuperBowl bound (the Minnesota Vikings). the Steelers smacked the Vikings down, but it seems like after their first and only loss they have come nowhere near the City of Loserville.
it's a great season so far, with tons of worthwhile games having Baltimore, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville (always liked Jack del Rio), Denver, and New York vying for representation in the playoffs. I'm tuned in.
