Dont get me wrong. Brees is good but Colston, horn and Mcallister are all coming off injuries. Their run defense is average and their pass defense is just plain bad. And dont even say reggie bush. He's had only one 100 yard game and is still only averaging 3.6 yards per carry. Also, the still would have to get pass the bears in chicago and either the ravens or the chargers

I think the Bears are going to the Super Bowl...That is NOT what I want...I want the Saints to go but I don't see New Orleans, Philadelphia or Seattle winning in Chicago!
IF N O is overrated, it's because the NFC is weak this year and thus, the Saints won a lot of games in a down year for that side of the NFL!
N O IS the second best team in the NFC...I just don't think they'll be able to score enough on Chicago at Soldier Field!

Chicago fans and other people that don't know anything about football. What makes you think the Bears can go to the superbowl? Your defense used to be good but not anymore. Their first 12 games they only gave up 150 points for an average of 12.5 points per game. However, their last 4 games they gave up 105 points for an average of 26.25 points per game. The last 4 games were against teams that didn't make the playoffs. The offense, especially the quarterbacks, have been very inconsistent. When your offense isn't good enough to keep your defense off the field you're in for a long day. Let me remind you also that Chicago ranked 32nd in strength of schedule. There are only 32 NFL teams so that should be a good indication as to why they have the best record in the NFC. Chicago is just another Ohio State. The New Orleans Saints will represent the NFC in the superbowl this year. Do a little bit of homework before you go running your mouth. I've done mine.

I can actually see the saints making it past the Bears despite the problems you list. The Chicago D is missing a few pieces and let's not forget about shaky Rex wo even if he has a good game, can lose this one. I honestly think the hardest team for the Saints to beat is Philly due to the fact they're the most fundamentally sound team on both sides of the ball left in the hunt in the NFC. If they make it past this weekend I think they're in the Super Bowl.
As far as that goes...
If they play the Chargers, they win. Drew Brees still knows Marty's entire playbook (which hasn't changed in about 5 years let alone the one year Drew has been away) and even with a poor defense, they'll crush SD if they know what's coming. If they play the Ravens, they are as dead as dead can be. The Ravens' D will scare the holy hell out of Reggie Bush and he'll do nothing. They'll have to rely on Deuce who, like you said is coming off an injury. And with McCallister and Reead in the Ravens' secondary, you can look for Colston to be a total non-factor. Horn may still break loose just due to his experience, but if Brees relies too heavily on his passing game, he'll get picked at least twice.

Bottom line on this question, is who in the NFC would stop the Saints from getting to the Super Bowl? Don't like the matchups, especially if the Seahawks are the beneficiary of another Bears Home CHOKE. Once they get to the Super Bowl, who knows? Remember, a week ago people were saying how over-rated Florida was and how they would stand no chance against OSU. What would happen if the Chargers played the Saints and LT went down in the 1st quarter? ANY GIVEN SUNDAY my friend....

I completely agree,I think they are a good team but I just don't think they are superbowl caliber, maybe next year but I don't see them going to, much less winning it this year. Basically I look at the teams they've lost to and 3 of the 4 AFC teams they played, they lost to, Baltimore, Pitt, and Cincy so even if they did get to the SB they can't compete with the superior AFC this year. I'm not entirely impressed by the teams they did beat with the exception of philadelphia, but i really don't think that will happen again since philly's been getting better and better.

none of the teams are gonna win the Super bowl. Except the EAGLES! at this point, if the EAGLES beat the Saints then the rest of the playoffs are a piece of cake! i will never give up hope on the EAGLES. in the Super Bowl, i hope we could verse the Patriots and the Seahawks in the NFC Championship!

i think they wont win the superbowl but i wouldnt call them overrated either. i mean honestly who thought the saints would be good? your QB is coming of shoulder surgery, deuce and horn almost never stays healthy, you have a rookie in the backfield, the whole katrina thing. who wouldve thought the saints would be this good? nobody.
