Anyone notice what the unbeaten teams have in common?

"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.

    • But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.
    • I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing. 
    • Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
