Where ESPN ranked the 2009 Saints among 57 Super Bowl-winning teams

Did the 2011 Saints win the SB?

I said the 2009 Saints team would beat at least 50 SB winners. Whether the 2011 team could beat the 2009 team is irrelevant. The 2011 didn't win a SB.

And a quick note about the Vikings turnovers: balls were punched out and intercepted. You give no credit whatsoever to the defense for creating the TO?

You have to admit, System, our 2011 roster was probably far better, more talented, more explosive on offense (record-breaking actually), but it didn't have as many breaks go its way compared to its Super Bowl 43-winning celebrated, hacylon predecessor. Their were more then a few things that went our way during that season to put us in position to win maybe a couple games we wouldve lost in previous seasons.

2011 was where we finally faced or went up against this very high, tough, extremely solid figurative brick wall in the San Francisco 49ers. Probably the last great game ever played at Candlestick Park, we were that unstoppable force that slammed into a unbreakable wall and while the wall was severely damaged and nearly broke, it was still standing at the end of the game and another, less-talented team that gelled at the right time (Giants) came in and destroyed what was remaining of that wall the following week. After 2011, we were never truly the same unstoppable team again, at least not in the same form.
