Could be just coincidence of the two particular trucks and not the same with all the trucks, but my 2014 is built better than my 2011. Fewer rattles, better interior materials, smoother paint, that type of thing. Also, the "bam" into second I had in the 2011 when you barely accelerated in 1st gear and let off, is not present in the 2014. They did a software update on the 2011 that was supposed to fix it. It helped but did not totally eliminate it.

The Saints with the #2 offense can't score more then 14 points against the Falcons with the worst defense tells the story. 4 turnovers didn't help either. Crazy when you win 20 games in a row at home then lose 5 in a row at home this year. I wouldn't put too much money on the Falcons next week against the Panthers or if they get into the playoffs. Dirty Birds are one of the few teams to have never won a Superbowl so I doubt if they're going too far this year...they have had tendency to choke a lot in the playoffs.

It was always hard for me to wrap my mind around the idea of the Saints as a good team anyways, since for the first 40 years of their existence (except for a few years during the Mora era) they were perennial laughingstocks.....
John Mecom Jr. had ownership of the Saints for close to 20 yrs. His dad bought him the team to keep him away from the old mans oil business which he didn't want screwed up. Jr. didn't care and didn't know about running a football team but as long as the stands were full he didn't care. Mid to late 80's when Tom Benson bought the team and got Jim Mora for a coach and Jim Finks for a manager did things turn around.
