As for beating the Cowboys..

A. They never go one and done.
B. They had way too many miscues, penalties, dropped passes, etc. today. Can't see that happening again.
C. It's hard to beat a team 3 times in one season.

As for them beating the Saints..

A. I don't care what happened back in week 2.
B. Saints are going into the Playoffs with 3 straight losses.

You don't have to worry about the Eagles.

The Packers will take out the Saints anyways.

Agreed.

Eagles have been better than Dallas in the playoffs, and it's damn near impossible to beat a team 3 times in one year.

As much as I like the Saints, they are not the same team they were early in the season, and it would be hard to classify them as the favorites in the NFC at this point.

One of the things that's catching up with the Saints is luck. I read somewhere that the Saints have recovered 13 out of the 14 fumbles they've forced this year. That's a ridiculous ratio and you can't continue to expect that bounce of the ball.

Their defense is going to be burned if they can't force turnovers and the Packers/Eagles match up terrifically with them.

It's not irrelevant when the beat down occurred at the same stadium and at the hands of the same team you're playing for your first game and just a week after said beat down.

So teams can't improve after Week 3? Again, fortunately whatever happened in the season is irrelevant, especially a game from Week 3, where we've seen both teams change dramatically from then.
