I'm not gonna sit here and say I predicted the Saints to be one of the better teams this season, cause I didn't. I can't say I'm overly surprised though.
If you really think about it, before the hurricane the Saints had 4 winning seasons in a row. Now they return back to the Superdome with a lot of support (pretty sure all the games sold out right away) Offensely their improvements where obvious. Drews Brees came in from the Chargers (this may be a reason why the Saints were not hyped up too much leading up to this year, since his arm status wasn't really known) Duece came in pretty healthy and you added the best player from college Reggie Bush (still don't know how the Texans past this guy up) While Bush isn't the front runner for ROY (that dudes in New England) he's been a big factor. Plus they've been getting great play from their rookie wideout Colston and got a new coach. I'd say they are for real, I don't think they are going to win the Superbowl or anything but they will definetly be in the playoffs.
