I mean with Brees, Colston, Bush and McAlister on offense they won't have problems scoring. If their defense stays as sound as it has been they are maybe the best all around team in the NFC for the next two or three years. Am I crazy or are they playing over their heads right now?

I agree, this success is sustainable for them. But let's remember that the NFC is horrible this year. You have to assume that the NFC is going to bounce back, including a team in their division who underachieved this season: the Carolina Panthers.

They have every part they need on offense, and should for the foreseeable future. They'll need to get better on defense if they really want to be great.
