[CBFF] Opening night

[Victor Waldron (CBFF)]

I think the game just proves what we know already: that the Saints 
aren't all that and a bag of chips. I think the media wants them to win 
more than the reality that they're actually one of the elite teams. They 
did lose SIX games last season (plus the shellacking at SF), so how 
could they be the juggernaut the media portrays them as? Regardless of 
improvements, it's obvious there D needs a lot of help.

Do I hate the Colts who beat the Bears in the Superbowl, or do I hate the Saints, because of their obnoxious fan base that STILL has the mindset that they'll easily make the Superbowl this year because of all their improvements (because you know, no OTHER team in the NFL made ANY improvements whatsoever!), similar to how they acted prior to the NFC championship?
