Jlowe22 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I don't think we're the best team in the league because I don't trust our defense. It's hanging on by a thread, and has very little depth. Devante Harris should not be on an NFL roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I roll my eyes every time I see a new post in this thread. I mean, you can post in the thread even if you don't think the Saints are the best team.

I think the only reason the Saints win streak may be getting more attention is because they started off 0-2 and then started winning. 1947 Bears were the last team to do it, so yeah it's gonna generate a bit of discussion. But when you look at the streaks for what they are (win for win, not looking at previous stuff) the Eagles is more impressive to me. You'd think a 2nd year QB would've found a way to bungle at least one of those games, but no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW You should have a job in sports media for this take, somehow those who get paid for their analyses can't bring that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, the dreaded 0-2 start for the Saints as opposed to grandiose 1-1 start for the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said it made sense, just speculating on why their streak is getting more attention. Like my fellow Saints fan above, I'm more impressed with how Wentz has played this year. He looks to be the real deal, which puts Philly fans in for some fun years of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean.... it's just a historical thing. 0-2 to 8-2 hasn't been done in 70 years. That's gonna get brought up a lot when it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me rolling my eyes has nothing to do with whether or not the Saints should be in the discussion for best team in the league. A case can definitely be made for it. It has to do with this thread being 30+ pages of mostly garbage posts and bickering with very little in the way of substance in regards to the topic at hand. Kind of like these 4 posts you and I just added..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguments can be made for each of the following "including" the Saints. So yes they are Among the best but No to holding it alone!! Eagles, Patriots, Saints, Steelers,Vikings. All 5 can in their own ways make claims to that Title. Now in the coming Month worth of games, those 5 will dwindle down to two IMO! Which two, remains to be seen? Stop being an objective Eagles fan... That said, one of those teams is clearly not like the others. The Steelers cannot be argued in any facet as the "best" team. Their record says otherwise. Unlike College Football "who" you lost to means nothing in the overall picture. So whether they've underachieved "statistically" as a offense from expectations leading up to the year or in a gm or two during the season, doesn't mean it can't occur moving forward. We've seen the Juggernaut they "can" be Offensively!! Their remaining schedule Outside of the Patriots game can easy end up being 13-3 or 14-2. Thus Yes, even the Steelers have a valid albeit lesser argument that can be made as best team in the NFL. Especially in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfishwars Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 So guys, can we at least clear this up? Are the Saints the best team in football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riftty Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 No they’re not. 1) pats 2) Steelers 3) Vikings 4) Eagles 5) Saints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Red hot take of the day - Saints might not even be the best team in the division. Panthers at 7-3 are massively underrated at the moment. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl4life07 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 The Pats and the Vikings beat them. Those teams have the same record as the Saints. The Eagles have a better record than the Saints. So no the Saints aren’t the best team in the NFL. Also let’s see what happens Sunday when the Saints travel to LA to play the Rams. If the Rams win then they could be better than the Saints based on same record and head to head win. If this question was, are the Saints the hottest team in the NFL? I would say yes. But the best team, no because of every thing I just mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the best team, no because of every thing I just mentioned above. Is UCF better than Ohio State? I'll just let that sit there. Record doesn't always mean which team is better. Also was LSU really better than Alabama a few years ago when they had the rematch in the National Championship game? LSU had the better record and had beat them previously H2H... Some arguments aren't the greatest to use. I will say that I think there is a fair argument for the Saints to be the best team, but there is just as good of an argument for 4 other teams as well in the Vikings, Pats, Steelers, and Philly, and yes I would even toss the Rams in there. I wouldn't toss the Panthers in there though because they have some really bad losses and have really looked lost at times, more recently than any of the previously mentioned teams so I really don't trust them in the long run, though I do feel they could beat any of the top teams as well, though just not with the consistency of those teams vs each other.
