I wouldn't worry too much about the Saints. They've got too many weapons to limp through the entire season. I think last night it was a case of them running into the World Champs, on the road, and simply being outplayed. The Colts' D played them perfectly.

Also, I don't think people gave the Colts enough credit coming into this season, I haven't heard any so called expert mention them as a serious threat to repeat this year. Based on last night, they could very well be better this year than last year. Scary thought.

Plus, it's game 1. Still 15 to go. It's a long season, Saints fans shouldn't get too worked up over last night.

The Colts have to tend with NE and San Diego with some other good teams in the mix too like Denver. The Colts were always in the discussion, but due to the fact that it's so hard to repeat, and losing some great players like McFarland to injury, it's hard to put them on that plateau again. I am not convinced just yet they are the team to win it all, but it appears they are primed for at least another shot.
I am more worried about the Saints turning back into the aints. They looked awful across the board yesterday. I do feel like you do that the Colts played them perfectly. They had an entire preseason to prepare for the Saints and the Saints opted not to try anything new.
