Just had a premonition, kinda like when I thought the Saints would win all the games under Bridgewater starting with Seattle. And nooo, that was not drug-induced, flashbacks or revelations from an Indian sweat tent - lol.
If we step back from our Homer position, which is really hard to do, these teams are at different levels: talent, coaching and skills. There are 3 elite teams in the league today: Ravens, SF and the Saints. These 3 teams are clearly above the rest. KC may sneak into this group.
This Saints team is on fire. Brees is on fire. SP is on fire. We have added disruptive offensive talent in Cook and Taysom Hill. This is the best Brees has looked late season in 3-4 years. This Saints team is tough as nails having won the 5 games when Brees went down. How many teams could do that especially with the tough schedule faced? Kamara looks fresh. Murray is fresh. MT is simply MT and Brees is playing lights out. The defense plays as well as needed to win big games. And even with the injuries on the D-line, the depth of replacements has the defense getting after the QB and has contained the run quite well. The reason I picked the Saints to win the games under Teddy was based more on intangibles. This team just seems to be on a mission. Their determination is on fire this year. They just look like a team of destiny.
Minny is a good quality team, but not in the same league as the top 3. As fans, we remember the Minny Miracle like it was yesterday etched deeply in our brains. But that was 2-years ago. Not now. There are only 2 teams in the league who could possibly beat this Saints team, and Minny is not one of them. On top of all this is the fact that for the 1st time, the Saints may have the best-combnined O-line and D-line in the league. Yeah I know, it;s even hard to type that. But SP rebuilt this team to win on the road, in the cold or on the beach (Miami). As we know, playoffs are usually won in the trenches. I expect the Saints to be up by 10-14 at half and pull away in the 2nd half. This is a team of destiny with the most determined and smartest QB in the league, all on fire at the perfect time led by a coach who is clearly establishing himself as the 2nd best in the last 15 years.
Who Dat All!
