Anyone notice what the unbeaten teams have in common?

Ummm, they haven't lost yet?

Of the 2 of them, I think the Colts go further. Manning is in a class by himself, and 'playoff experience' does count for quite a bit when the time comes. I predict the Colts in the SB, but not the Saints.

But I would LOVE to see the Colts and Saints if they both stay undefeated. That would be one for the ages!

The Saints had the top passing attack in the league last year, but the number 26 or so rushing attack, and they didn't make the playoffs. This year, they have the number 3 passing attack in the league, and the number 5 rushing attack, and they are undefeated.

Just goes to show that unless you have Peyton Manning as QB, its best to have a balanced offense.

It's because Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell are way better than Reggie Bush, who has now settled in as a glorified slot receiver.

They didn't have the backfield to make it work. They had to rely on Brees 100%. Now it's more balanced.

Even the Colts offense is more balanced than it would seem at first glance.

I was gonna say "they haven't lost" but I guess that wasn't the answer you were looking for... LOL.

ELITE QB = ELITE TEAM. You put Manning, Brees or Brady on the Panthers and we are world beaters. We've found the best QB we've had so far by way of dumb luck, it's scary to think how long it might take us to get lucky again.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
