The Saints have the best defense in the NFL (1 Viewer)

[Madmarsha]

I'm looking forward to hearing that narrative this week hopefully. We balled out!

So you're sticking with the trend of the first five games versus the last five games?

Equal sample size.

He doesn’t get it

I'm watching CBS post-game and of course they gloss over the Saints but they do a whole take on other teams. Its cool tho. Keep flying under the radar. #The Hate Is Great.. WoW but ok

If that TD isn't called back, we out score the Falcons 28-3 to end the game.

Don't forget the missed FG too. Lutz usually makes those.

It looks like the defense gets better and better each week. I'm very impressed with the way the secondary playing. I wonder if Hill wouldn't have fumbled if that drive would have led to another TD.

Too soon?

 

[jbourque]

22 is destroying offenses. What a leap this year. As a unit they are playing lights out.

Too soon?

@11saints
Is this too much for you or should we be more sensitive?

Maybe, but lets win the super bowl before the crowning.

Then there's nothing to crown. No one has to prove the sun rose this morning. Because it happened.

You're like I still feel...you see how good we are. But you don't trust it. You feel like the bottom is gonna fall out because of how often we get burned. How often lame duck passes ended up in completions. How often we missed key tackles and let teams off the hook on 3rd and forevers.

I'll eventually begin to believe before the end. And so will you. Maybe...

Jesus Christ.

Yes. If they improved now so well that they're #1, then yes, they will have to finish it strong.

They weren't #1 in the first 5 games. Anyone who says other than that, is simply blind.

You seem to be missing something in your analysis. The defense didn't have any OTA's or mini-camps and and abbreviated training camp and no preseason and for that matter the offense too. So you could say it took the first 4 games for them to put everything together which would amount to preseason games to be the defensive unit they are now.

The front 4 might be the best in football. I encourage anyone to come up with an alternative.

That front 4 is a big, big deal. Being able to get pressure without blitzing helps a ton in the playoffs. Ask Eli Manning.

Just curious did Marcus Davenport play much? Seems like he was not out there much but could be wrong.

 

[PXSaber]

Just realized: We only allowed 1 TD in 3 games

You know I was so excited and caught up in the game, I never noticed.
