What are you talking about?
The Falcons kicked Carolina all over the field in Week 1, winning 20-6 - ON THE ROAD - and then rushed for nearly 300 yards in beating Tampa 14-3 in week 2.
I hardly call that "barely beats".

I think 9th is about right.
Last night was a once-in-a-lifetime setting for the Saints and they responded.

The Saints did have the setting last night, but I'm still going with them to take the division.
Their D is way better than people think and they are the only team to truly have a 'two-headed monster' in the backfield if they stay healthy.
They will be a team to be reckoned with for the first time since their inception in 1967,

The Saints are vastly improved, that's for sure.
But I don't trust their defense against an offense which can actually pass the ball.
The true test for them comes this weekend, when they play the Panthers on the road.

No doubt, this is a huge game.
I think they do have what it takes to do beat Carolina in their house.
The Saints were vastly improved the second they got rid of Haslett and Brooks, even without Bush.

Dude, the Saints are WAY BETTER than you and everyone else thinks...I have to give Sean Payton alot of credit (as much as it pains me to, since he used to be an assistant for the Cowturds).
He filled most of the holes in the defense with pretty decent FAs (and Simoneau from Philly in the trade for Stallworth) this offseason.
Brees is miles better than Brooks and by adding the ONLY Bush that has done any good in New Orleans, the Saints' offense is much more potent than may expected it would be.
Add to that offense the surprise of the draft in their seventh rounder from Hofstra and they could possible win the division!

Bush is NOT the difference-maker for this team.


That man's name is "Drew Brees".
And a big HAHAHAHA on Nick Saban for passing on him to pick up Tiny Hands.
