In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. Kinda sums up the 2008 Saints, doesn’t it?

Oh, if only every week’s opponent were a team who’s 1-18 over their last 19 games. A team that lost.. at home… to Oakland…… by two touchdowns. A team starting its third quarterback, who’s a second year guy from Coastal Carolina with a 26th ranked 76.3 passer rating.

Now don’t get me wrong, you’ve got to give credit to the Saints for their performance, especially on defense. After all, they held the Chiefs to a point total only 21% higher than their 29th ranked average. They only allowed the Chiefs 12.75% more total yards than their 26th ranked average. They only allowed the aforementioned 2nd year guy from Coastal Carolina to throw for 68 yards above his average and his third highest total of the season. No wonder so many people are heaping praise on the defense today. Clearly they’ve arrived.
