The New Orleans Saints tickets for the 2012 NFL playoffs are football tickets to watch the winner of the NFC South and one of the most prolific offenses take the field at Mercedes-Benz Superdome and other venue on the road as Drew Brees attempts to take this team to another Super Bowl, its second in three seasons. Sean Payton actually has to be more excited about this run since he has a more complete offensive game, though his defense is just as suspect as it was the last run.

Brees set the new single season passing yard mark with 5,476 yards, so it is quite evident the Saints have the number one aerial attack in the NFL. Tight end Jimmy Graham led the team in receptions, yards, and touchdowns with 99 catches, 1,310 yards, and 11 touchdowns. This is a surprise. Graham was drafted two seasons ago as a project. He is incredibly athletic and is 6-6, 260. Graham played basketball, so he had to learn how to run routes. Well, in his second season he blossomed and shockingly became the number one option for Brees. New Orleans’ passing game would be nothing if Brees had a laser like focus on a single player. He also spread the football out to Marquis Colston, Lance Moore, Robert Meachem, and Devery Henderson outside the numbers and Darren Sproles and Pierre Thomas for safe dinky passes. This means that no defense can possibly cover all of the options. This is the strength of the New Orleans Saints offense and it is complimented by a running offense that is actually ranked sixth in the league. Neither Darren Sproles nor Pierre Thomas is going to be the feature back, but together they are a dangerous duo.
One aspect of this team that is similar to the last Super Bowl squad is the defense. The pass defense is again an issue, though the running defense is at least average. The New Orleans Saints defense is not very good at forcing turnovers though. So, much like that eventful season, the Saints defense needs to overachieve just in time to play at Lucas Oil Field on February 5, 2012.
