I would have to say the Jets. Its easy to see why the Saints are doing what they are doing this year. I had the Saints going 9-7 before the season started. It looks like they are going to surpass that by quite a bit.

But can anyone in there right mind ever think that the Jets could be doing what they are doing?

I had the Jets for 4 wins tops. If the season in today, the Jets are in the playoffs.

They are both very surprising, but I would have to agree with the Jets.

As I Jet fan I would have to say JETS. The saints looked good this season with Brees and Bush coming.

I'd have to say the Jets cause no one I knew thought the Jets would win more than 4 or 5 games.. I knew a few people that thought the Saints would even win their division..

Both teams are solid.. The Jets are overacheiving a bit and quite vulnerable they have no chance to win a playoff game while the Saints might make the Superbowl..

The Jets will finish 10-6 and lose their playoff game...they've had a pretty easy schedule.

Outside the division they've played Indy, Jax and Chicago and lost all 3 games....also lost to Cleveland.

Charlie Casserly, and anyone associated with the Texans draft group, should get a nod from the Saints GM when they win executive of the year.

jets are more surprising imo. They had a QB coming off his second shoulder surgery and who looked awful last year. They have no RB (saints had 2 duece and bush). Jets had 2 rookie offensive lineman. Jets were basically starting from scratch.

Payton and mangini both deserve coach of the year awards, but i think manginin has done more with what was perceived to be much less.

One day it will happen for you ensign. I always respect hardcore fans that pull for the unpopular team through thick and thin. I always pull for fans like you.

I have been a Saints fan all these years. I have also been a Braves fan when they were the laughing stock of the league.

Houston is not as far off as there record. They are a couple of offensive lineman and a few other key players away from being a very solid team. I think Kubiak is solid. Your time will come.

Congrats on the TV.

Good luck.

Well Drew Brees also came off of a shoulder injury that most in the medical field said was even worse than Pennington. The Saints also start 2 rookies on the O-line.

If you dont live down here its not possiable to explain the hurricane situation the Saints had to go though last year. Many of the Saints players still dont have a permant home. Close to a toss up here.

Give the slight lean to the Jets though. Saints have more talent.
