Brees? Yes. The rest of the team? No.
Lets look at last season. They had a 8-8 record all while Brees pushed Marino for the passing yardage record. 8-8 people, one game better than us. We had the Pats, Dolphins, and Phins to play twice each, and each was better than most teams in the NFC.
The Saints record on the road was 2-6 consisting of losses at Washington, Denver, Carolina, Atlanta, Tampa, and Chicago. Out of those teams, Carolina and Atlanta made the playoffs. So to those of you accusing the Bills of sucking against good teams, it looks like New Orleans sucks against lousy teams, or almost all teams on the road.
Their two wins this season were at home and against Detroit and a Mcnabbless Philladelphia Eagles.
They are currently 21st in total defense, playing against Matt Stafford and Kevin Kolb. We are 28th and we played Tom Brady and Byron Leftwich.
Add up the starts. Stafford and Kolb combined for 0 before they played the Saints. Leftwich and Brady obviously much more.
They are the 8th most penalized team, and that is at home! No crowd noise on offense, all the crown noise on defense, yet still the 8th most penalized.
Obviously, the Bills are going to have to score 30+ points in order to make a game of this, but against this defense, that should be easy.
Our defense is created for teams like this. Our deep shell will keep the plays medium in size, and I don't think that they are nearly as physical as we are on the LOS.
I say Bills win 35-31. But I wouldn't consider this that "top team" that we have to beat to get respect. I think after this week we will see that the Saints are an offense only team, which rarely translates into a great record. In the NFL anyway.
