can't say I am surprised. They just have not shown that they are an elite team this year yet. Maybe they can round into form by the time the playoffs roll around, but after that choke job against the colts I saw no reason to expect them to beat the Saints, who are the best team in the NFL thus far.
it is not that they didnt beat the Colts, its how they played against the Colts that matters, and they proved in that game that they can certaintly keep up with a high-powered team like the Colts...tonite was just not their night.
