Anyone else getting that feeling that this season is going to be a big one for the Saints? Everyone out there seems to be more or less discounting them. I get the feeling this team is going to play far better than anyone realizes. I've seen predictions from 8-8 to 10 - 6 from the so-called analysts. Everyone and his brother is picking the Falcons to repeat as NFC South champs. Still, I get this feeling that the Saints will be much better than anyone thinks. The last time I had this feeling was 2009--no joke. Before that? The post-Katrina year of 2006.

I hope I'm right again.

I am. It seems like the talking heads have pretty much written us off, and that seems like a foolish stance to me. The Mad Genius has had a year to rest and scheme, and the whole team has chips on their shoulders. If Ryan can field a decent defense and we luck out with injuries, this team will be back in the playoffs.
