The saints loss to teams on our "soft ass schedule". Loss to the bucs and the rams a team we destroyed 26-0 and another 45-7 don't quote me on the bucs game. We loss to the ravens on a short week after having to travel 1,300 miles, teams traveling 1300+miles on short week are 0-13. We ended up 5-1 if I'm correct playing in the eastern time zone. Not bad at all. not saying we are the best in the NFL but to say we don't have a chance, well thats just being a hater.
I'm not even trying to come into this thread from the perspective of a rival (SEA fan) I'm just trying to be real. I think they have a solid team but their offense is still limited and I just don't like alex smith at QB, no matter what. I just can't see them surviving the playoffs. Next year maybe.
