If the Saints do lose, most likely the postgame stories from national media will focus on why the Saints lost rather than why the Redskins won. It's been a trend whenever we beat a strong team like that in the past. Case in point, when the Redskins beat the Giants in the first game last year, I didn't hear anybody talking about how Rex Grossman played, or what the defense did, it was all about which Giants played poorly and who to blame for the loss.

Until we finish a season with a winning record, that's always going to be the case when playing a .500+ team.
