Saints go marching on

If you were wondering who the best team in football is you shouldn’t have to think too hard now. Last night the Saints handled the Patriots to go to 11-0 and looked extremely good while doing it.

Brees lit it up throwing 5 touchdown passes and no interceptions. The defense was able to keep Brady out of synch coming up with 2 interceptions. This game was all New Orleans.

Big play after big play ruined the Patriots chances last night. And just when they seemed to be getting something going the Saints stepped up and made plays.

New Englands offense didn’t look nearly as bad as their defense. The secondary was out of position all night, allowing Brees to find open guys for huge chunks of yardage. The pressure put up by the Patriots front 7 was non existent.

The Saints are the team to beat right now. With Dallas being the only team remaining on their schedule looking remotely capable of beating them, the chances of them running the table are really good.

As for New England, the fact that they can’t seem to finish off elite teams seems to be a real problem. If they can’t fix their second half woes they won’t be going anywhere this year.
