The New Orleans Saints have a very talented offense that can take them deep into January without question. 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.
Drew Brees has established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the league - having all the offense threats such as WR Marques Colston, RB Mike Bell, BB Reggie Bush, and WR Jeremy Shockey. All the pieces are in place for the Saints to win many games this season. 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.
New Orleans has struggled financially the last few years and a good Saints football team is what the New Orleans community needs. 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.
The New Orleans Saints forum is filled with excited Saints fans at RootZoo. All football fans would love the new fantasy football there too.
