Quietly, everyone in the NFC South is .500 or better...
I'm surprised at how well Atlanta is playing after last season. Carolina is about where I would expect them to be. Tampa has surprised me so far, especially with benching Garcia for a few games.
New Orleans could very well be 6-0 or 5-1 if not for a few bad bounces (or kicks for that matter). At 3-3, they are looking up at everyone else in the division. They have lost their 3 games by a total of 10 points, and they have been decimated with injuries. 3-3 and getting their full compliment of offensive players back is o.k. with me. This week they play at Carolina, then off to London to play San Diego.
I'd sacrifice a loss to SD and a 4-4 record to get that Carolina division win. The Saints are the only NFC South team without a division loss (1-0).
Oh, and Drew Brees is the truth. So great to have my teams' captains be Brees and Iginla.
