Jabari Greer takes a cautious view of the dramatic improvements made by the unbeaten Saints in only one season.

Saints go to 8-0 with 30-20 win over Panthers

What might be finest Saints team is off to the best start in club history. New Orleans moved to 8-0 on Sunday when Drew Brees overcame two early turnovers to pass for 330 yards and a touchdown in a 30-20 comeback victory over Carolina.

Despite being 7-0, Saints have concerns

Drew Brees sounds like a man who's embarrassed, and not because of all the compliments he's getting over the New Orleans Saints' perfect record through seven games.

Saints stay perfect with 35-27 win over Falcons

The Saints are still perfect, despite an imperfect performance, and now need one more win to set the record for best start in franchise history.

Rosenthal: The best, and most puzzling, of the first half

There is a flip side to all the hideous NFL teams this season: There is a depth of quality teams too. Playoff races in both conferences are packed near the top, and more than 10 fan bases — maybe 14 — have legitimate Super Bowl hopes. It sets up for a highly entertaining playoff chase as the calendar turns to November. Before looking ahead, lets look back on some of the standouts and lowlights from the season’s first half.

Saints' Fujita, Falcons' Johnson among inactives

The Saints deactiviated starting linebacker Scott Fujita for a second straight game as New Orleans prepared to host the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night.

Ellis sidelined by knee injury

New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis was forced from Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins because of a sprained right knee, and he'll undergo tests Monday.

Unbeaten Saints rally past Dolphins 46-34

For most of the first half, the New Orleans Saints could hardly make a first down. Later there was no stopping them, as usual.

Saints use Bush to simulate wildcat in practice

Reggie Bush enjoyed running a simulation of Miami's wildcat offense in practice this week — and said he even broke out a few long runs with it.

Saints' O-line in synch both on and off the field

New Orleans lineman Zach Strief and Jon Stinchcomb stood side-by-side, feet shoulder-width apart.

Curran: Brees, Saints awfully similar to ’07 Patriots

The historic accomplishments of the 2007 Patriots were supposed to stand the test of time. And one season wasn’t the length of time one expected.

Curran: Fab Favre, Zorn’s future big Week 7 stories

You can see the halfway point from here. The fast-moving 2009 season is getting down to the weeks where you can start looking at the standings.

Saints getting tougher on both sides of the ball

Drew Brees looked across the line of scrimmage and liked what he saw.

Curran: Pats give Titans beatdown for the ages

It was 35 minutes into their game against the Titans, the Patriots had scored 52 points and Tom Brady had thrown six touchdown passes. The Patriots scored on eight consecutive possessions after missing a field goal on their opening drive.

Curran: NFL teams better off without me-first players

Whatever revenge Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey believes he can exact against the Giants this weekend will be hollow as a drum.

What were they waiting for? The defense was being exploited from the beginning, but they didn't make any visible adjustments. Spags wouldn't have let that continue. They admittedly watched game tape and discovered a defense they didn't recognize.
