Despite that, they are 11-4. I'm biased but that's the last team I'd want to play right now if I'm a fellow NFC playoff qualifier. This is a much improved team from the one that put a beat down on the Vikings last year in the playoffs.

They are a scary team without a doubt. I guess the biggest problem I have with them is it seems they are too dependent on the big play. I am certain they lead the league in 30+ yard plays. It seems when the big plays aren't working they tend to struggle having longer drives. Westbrook will make a huge difference with this I am sure if he can stay healthy.
I am also basing a lot of this on a few games when I thought they looked real bad without considering as much the games they looked great. The Giants game where it seemed both secondaries forgot to guard anyone is always in my head.
I think there will be some great games. Its going to be tough to beat the Saints at home though.
