This is true.

The Saints played good enough to win had it not been for 2 pick sixes

I think about about every I ever post. You think about it. Pick sixes are exceptions. They are anomalies. Yes, they can absolutely cost you a game and did. But, they do not reflect upon how the rest of the game was played. The defense performed well. The special teams did well. And, aside from those two awful plays, the offense did what it needed to do to win the game.

No disrespect intended, but that was the best team the Saints will face this season. There is no reason why the Saints cannot win every game the rest of the way out as long as they play their game.

We'll see if it happens or not, but the potential is definitely there and I believe.

Is this an anomaly?

Guess not. We still won.

The Saints played good enough to win....except they didn't.

The Falcons played good enough to win the playoff game against the Giants had the offense not been shut out.
