Saints are no longer SB contenders

NFL

While it's never good to lose two games to start the season, most teams wouldn't hit the panic button if both losses came on the road and by a total of five points. The Saints, having just lost their second straight nail-biter, won't do that either, though there are worrying signs surrounding this club -- particularly on defense.

I'm going to come clean: I had the Saints as my Super Bowl pick from the NFC. So should I now get off the bandwagon?

Just as they likely won't fluster, neither will I. I'll do what I often do in times of stress and make a list of the reasons to stay faithful and another to flee to greener pastures. The bad news: The Saints' negatives outweigh the positives through the first two weeks.
