Saints finding their stride (1 Viewer)

For those of you who have anointed the Falcons, Eagles or Giants as the team to beat in the NFC, you might want to consult with the New Orleans Saints before giving away the crown.

The defending Super Bowl champions have quietly found their stride behind a rejuvenated offense, and opponents should be concerned.

The Saints have reeled off six consecutive wins, and their explosive offense has been the catalyst. New Orleans has scored at least 30 points in five of those contests en route to becoming one of four teams with at least 10 wins at this point.

When thinking about the Saints' offense, it's natural to tab Drew Brees as the straw that stirs the drink. Brees is a deadly accurate thrower with outstanding arm strength, anticipation and touch. He hits his open receivers with aplomb, and is patient enough to take the check-down when defenders fly out of their zones to stop the deep ball. Brees has connected on 68 percent of his passes for 3,855 yards with 28 touchdowns. Although he inexplicably leads the league with 18 interceptions, his 93.6 passer rating ranks ninth in the league.

My favorite comment after that article is:

"First, the Saints will take your dirtybird carcass and boil it down into a stock to get the marrow out of the bones. Then we'll through [sic] in some Eagles, Ravens, and Steel Flakes for some extra seasoning. Then, we'll drink our warm Gumbo in on a cool night in Dallas when we lay a Fat 2Dat all over TV. Maybe then you'll ST*U."
