After an 0-3 start and zero expectations for myself on this young team, I'm just happy and frankly shocked they're even able to still talk about a potential division title/playoffs in mid-November. Not expecting much to come out of it, but I'll enjoy the ride while it lasts (which could be realistically over as soon as Thursday, you're right that's a huge game in the South). I'm just very encouraged with the play of young players for next year, and the D finally starting to come around. Lots to build on for '17.

As someone who has watched every Saints game this year, I'd be very optimistic going forward. The defense still certainly needs some work but they are enough to let that offense do its thing. Always nice to see Brees doing his thing. If they could land a decent CB and gain a bit more of a pass rush they could be looking at the division again in a very short time frame
