It's Too Early to Put The New Orleans Saints in The Super Bowl

I love being a New Orleans Saints fan, but maybe stress isn't worth it.

Just as I was coming to terms with the fact that after two January-less seasons and a horrendous schedule, maybe common sense would take over when talking about New Orleans.

However, the Saints are still getting love from the media, and when you read certain predictions, you can’t help but get excited.  

A lot of NFL experts think the Saints can not only win the NFC South, but also go far in the playoffs.

If it was all about talent, the Saints could win it all, but surely after the heartbreak of two lackluster campaigns, both in which the Saints had plenty of chances to win games that would have taken them to the playoffs, it's time to take a step back.

I have seen various articles with predictions of a 3-1 and or 4-0 start. This is exactly the type of thing the team doesn't need.

I would love the Saints to fly under the radar and let everyone focus on other teams.

The team’s only concern should be with going 1-0 and beating a still desperately poor Detroit Lions team.

I honestly think that last season’s Falcons and Dolphins exploits were amazing, but the Lions are a long way from the playoffs.

The point is, let the Saints give themselves every chance to be as good as they can be. We have only been to one NFC Championship game in our history.

I don't want to be too negative because we can get there, but now is the time to settle down and make sure we adhere to the old saying "one game at a time."
