I say very. After todays loss and last weeks.......they are showing their true colors. They have been having to come from behind almost all year, but everyone was thinking big of them because of their televised win vs. NE. I hope Minn wins out and NO loses next week.

They aren't overrated at all. They are a good team who had a let down from their kicker...I would say you sir are overrated.

They have lost 2 in a row with a questionable defense. You cant blame both losses on the kicker.

but one 13 in a row with that same defense...who cares if they lose two games, especially when one of those were because an NFL kicker can't do his job from inside 30 yards. Their defense creates turnovers and that is huge going into the playoffs.

Kind of like how they beat TB a few years ago. Suisham had a chip shot as well.

Im not saying they arent a VERY a good team. But they are not on the Colts level and never were imo.

The Colts have commenced "Operation Regular Season Shutdown" again. Their level for the playoffs likely has dropped dramatically. Where they'd feel at home chilling with a team that has dropped two in a row, one to one of the league's worst teams.

Cats must be bitter about all the hype and love the Saints get down where he lives.

Oh, and he appears to be a Vikings fan too....which could contribute to the making of this thread.

Should have made a thread about the Vikes being overrated also following that putrid performance against Carolina.

The Saints aren't over rated but they better hope they get home field advantage because if they have to play somewhere cold they might be hurting.

The only place they would have to possibly play outside of New Orleans is Minnesota. And while it is cold there, the Vikes play in a dome.

The Saints will have home field throughout if they win next week. If they lose the next game and the Vikes win out, the Vikes will have homefield thru out, and the Saints would have to play at Minnesota (indoors). Green Bay cannot host N.O. no matter what. Even if Minn loses the next 2 and Philly takes the #2 seed, N.O. would automatically have the #1 seed and cant play at Philly.
