Paricularly "C". As many of us have pointed out, all the "analysts" go off of in their predictions is past accomplishments. While we all know, or at least like to believe, that this is a completely different Saints team than we've fielded in years past, the media figures don't have that kind of foresight. It's going to take time and trends to change the way the "outside" world views our football team, not just an overachieving start to one season, as they may see it.
