Pittsburgh is a much better team than their record indicates, a loss to them is hardly an embarrassment, although they're still not a playoff caliber team this year.

As for the Saints, they looked great last night. Drew Brees is the best QB in the NFL right now in my opinion, despite many people counting him out after his shoulder surgery in the offseason. He was good with the Chargers, but with the better receiving corps in New Orleans (not to mention two RBs who are both excellent receivers) he is really coming into his own. He's definitely not the sole reason for the Saints' turnaround, but I'd say their major upgrade at QB is the biggest reason for their success this year.


Not to mention that Brees has been carrying my fantasy team all year long. :)

No way. Peyton. I do think Brees may end up being a hall of famer though.

Yup.

Lucky you. :)

I'm saying that based on this season alone, but if I was to choose based on their entire careers, my money would be on Brady as #1, he doesn't always put up astronomical numbers, but he's cool as a cucumber under pressure and seems to always find a way to win.

Also, if Brees keeps up what he's doing for the last 3 games of the season, he's in for a historic year, he could very well break Dan Marino's record for most passing yards in a season.

Except last year, and yesterday being two glaring exceptions. Being cool and being on a good team don't make you the best QB. Sure, he's good, but he's no Peyton.
 
I'm all about Peyton, but I really just can't put him on Brady's level until he can start winning some playoff games. He's the best regular season QB, but when playoff time comes around, Tom Brady plays much better.

The Colts defense is definitely inferior to that of the Patriots, but still Peyton just looks like a completely different person sometimes in the playoffs, the losses aren't completely his fault, but he contributes. The Colts need to start putting some money into their under sized defense, rather than trying to keep their offense together, the offense will be fine, but that defense just looks awful sometimes.
 
The Saints absolutely destroyed the Cowboys, and in spite of the fact that the 'boys have been hot lately. The saints have been improving all season, especially reggie bush. They're suddenly looking like one of the best teams in the league.

I'm so embarrased after that game. I knew there was a good chance Saints would win. Ive been watching them all season and they're a great team. But that was pitiful. I'm just hoping that Dallas uses this as a wake up call and lets them realize they're not invincible.
