The New Orleans Saints Appear to be a New Team in 2009

The New Orleans Saints were the feel good story of the 2007 season. After having been the losers of the NFL for many years, the team suddenly found itself in the heat of a Super Bowl race in 2007, thanks in large part to Drew Brees, Reggie Bush, and Deuce McAllister.
QB Drew Brees is playing the best he has ever played and will be a favorite for MVP once the season is over. The 09′ season should be a good one for the Saints franchise overall, many expect the Saints to play late in January.
The Saints have weapons all round the field from RB Reggie Bush, WR Marques Colston, WR Jeremy Shockey, WR Devery Henderson, and RB Mike Bell. With such a potent offense the Saints can outscore anyone in the league -which means they are never out of the game no matter what the score is.
Will they be just a good regular season team? Will they use all their offense weapons in January when the pressure is on also? Offenses this good don’t come along this often so the Saints must make the most of the great players they do have now.
The NFC South isn’t as good as it was in years past. The Saints should win the division – if everyone, especially Drew Brees, stay healthy for the entire season. The Saints should have many easy games on their schedule to rack up wins and get a high seed for the playoffs, it not the number one seed.
The defense is what the Saints need to keep opponents to a relatively low score – we know the Saints can score in bunches and quickly. But defense wins championships!
The New Orleans Saints are one of the 1 in 5 teams never to appear in a Super Bowl — the others being the Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Cleveland Browns, and Detroit Lions.
We know what happened with the 07′ New England Patriots – they were on the verge of the greatest NFL season of all time but were defeated in the Super Bowl by the New York Giants. It uncertain the Saints can be as great an offense as the Patriots were in 07′, what will matter is how they execute in the playoffs.
