Remember last year when we were 3-0 and some sportswriter (I can't remember who exactly but I'm pretty sure he worked for SI) called us the worst 3-0 team in NFL history, in what was one of the most preposterous comments I've ever read?
Well what does he have to say about the Saints?
Last year's Redskins beat the Bears (first round bye), Cowboys (9-7), and Seahawks (NFC Champions), en route to a 3-0 record and were called the worst 3-0 team in NFL history by that moron.
New Orleans beat two terrible teams and an above average Atlanta team at home. So what does that make them?

I don't think NO is the worst 3-0 team in NFL history either air.
I'm just trying to illustrate the ridiculousness of that statement when it was made about us last year. Clearly, the 2005 Redskins had a tougher road to 3-0 than the 2006 Saints.
I think 8-8 is a very realistic final record for them.
