The Saints were literally a Carr injury in a single half of football away from 10-7, clear division winner, and punchers chance int he playoffs. This idea that last season they were god awful is just insanity. Did they disappoint, absolutely, did they shoot themselves in the foot countless times, absolutely... did they still win more games than they lost and fielded a top 10 defense? Absolutely. That's more than enough to at least acknowledge they have a chance this year.
