I'm from New Orleans, I'm a HUGE fan, I've seen years of Saints failures, but I've never seen them this good on offense this early in the year. Do they really have a chance at the playoffs, or even the SuperBowl. I'll be happy with playoffs, if they go to the SuperBowl I may mortgage my house to go see it(just kidding). Do you think they really have a shot? Is Brees that good? Is Reggie Bush the answer? Is losing Stallworth better than keeping him? Help me out!

Sorry to bust your bubble. But the Saints are not that good. They are fortunant to be 2-0 but then you have to look at who their two opponants have been. Both of their opponants are 0-2. The Saints are a decent team and should be happy with a 6-10 end of season record. The loss of Stallworth will be felt. He was a quality receiver who lined up well with Joe Horn. Bush will be good but he is not the savior the Saints wish for. I am sorry but it will be another season of futility for Saints fans.

The saints are a team in transition. They are off to a good start. Brees is a great quarterback, he finds ways to win. Bush will be great if he can find a way to stay healthy (at the moment I think he's too lanky to be a RB in the nfl, his running style is setting himself up for a career ender). But the fact is they've played close games with a couple of crappy teams, if they were contenders they should be blowing those teams out, just look at San Diego, Baltimore, Chicago, Atlanta. The saints are building a solid team, but it's gonna take another year or two.

My friend, this orginization finally has a real coach and (GASP!) real players. I have watched this team fumbledick around in mediocrity since it's inception. Never before have I seen a team in New Orleans go to pieces in the 1st quarter the way they did in Green Bay and still have the composure and character to mount a comeback the way they did. They are laying the foundation for an excellent team. We will see Monday night, as mentioned by an earlier responder, what they are made of. But yes I think this time it may be for real and not just a ruse to give us false hope.
GO SAINTS!
P.S. Brees and BUSH are the real deal !!!

No, the Saints aren't that good. They may sneak into the playoffs, this is the NFL (where parity has all but eliminated consistently good play), but that is a long shot. The Super Bowl is a pipe dream.

yes brees, horn and bush is good. no they wont make it to the playoffs. but they only played against the browns and packers, i am impressed thhat they won those games on the road. their next game against the falcons will prove what the saints are made out of. support your saints after all they have yet not lost a game.

They're improved, but they're not that good, and they're in probably the toughest division in football. I don't see them getting to the playoffs this year.
