Saints this years Minnesota Viking? (1 Viewer)

Please don't associate or compare us to anything Minnesota. Lifetime most hated team. Should not be in the same sentence.

Well, we won a prime time game. That helps put some separation between us and the Cousins Crew.

Blasphemy, never say Saints and Viqueens in the same sentence.

I’ve thought from the jump (since we signed Carr) that we’d win the division and one playoff game. Still feel that way and I’d be happy with that.

I do feel that San Fran and Dallas are the cream of the crop this season in the NFC. Maybe Philly too. Dallas should implode in the playoffs, if Hurts is out we’d have a good shot at beating Philly (he kills us) leaving the Niners. That’s the only team I feel truly outclasses us in our conference this season. Any given Sunday tho and I’m excited to be 2-0.

P.S.
Totally apathetic towards the Vikings, may even like em a little. lol so I don’t mind the comparison.

Unfortunately, I don't see this offense ever becoming the offensive juggernaut it was under Payton/Brees, regardless of talent, as long as DA is HC.
Until I see more aggressiveness in the RZ, 4th and short situations, etc, I'll continue to believe that this coach's philosophy is to play to not lose.

So I can never say that I loved the Vikings vs Saints 2009 NFC Conference Championship game? That doesn't make any sense. I can't say that the Vikings fans are butthurt over losing to the Saints in 09?

Dallas lost Diggs for the year. They aren't gonna stay at the top forever this year.

I think they’d have found a way to fold in the playoffs with or without him. Has been their MO.

But then how are they the cream of the crop? Chinese riddle!

 

[hookedsaint]

Yeah right now based on the two games the Saints have played, I don't really think they are in the same class as Dallas or the 49'ers. I want to get to that point

I mean it’s just like you said dude, two games. Good thing the super bowl isn’t at the start of week 3.

Sorry, should have specified….I think they’re top 3 NFC for the regular season. With or without Trevon. If the best player in the game (imo) goes down I’ll rethink that. Parsons.

I was quoting Tyrone Biggums when I said chinese riddle, so it wasn't meant to be fully serious. You did mention more than one team as the cream of the crop, but it might have been limited to 2.

Love Tyrone lol.

Love Tyrone lol.

How was I asleep if I was high on crack?

 

[Saint Jack]

I’d say there is a difference.
The Vikings look to be a one year wonder.
I think the Saints could have a three to four year run with Carr.

 

[PAPACHUCK]

We have the defense to win championships.

We have a quarterback that can excel in our offense
We have a great cast of skill players around him, but....
We have a OL that is currently lacking the skills for the above to be consistent.

Their progression or lack thereof will determine the team's potential.
