The New Orleans Saints have a history lacking the postseason resume of almost every other team in the league. In 1987, 20 years after the team played its inaugural season the Saints finally played their first playoff game. The team posted an impressive 12-3 record but played a disappointing game, losing 44-10. Jim Mora took over as head coach and Bobby Herbert led the team to the playoffs again with three straight trips from 1990 to 1992. Those playoff tickets also gained entry to three straight loses. It was not until 2000 with a young upcoming quarterback in Aaron Brooks that the Saints won their very first postseason contest. The upset of the Rams would bring joy to New Orleans and the Superdome, but the Vikings would put the upstarts in their place with a 34-16 victory. The Saints would not become a team to fear again until Drew Brees came over in 2006. Brees and Bus proved a deadly combination and the Saints made it to the NFC Championship game before being discarded by the Chicago Bears 39-14.

About The New Orleans Saints
The Saints come back in 2008 after a disappointing 2007 season. Deuce McAllister went down with injury and pretty much signaled the end of his days as one of the elite backs in the NFL. Now it is Reggie Bush’s role to lose. Bush has been criticized his numbers when carrying the ball. Last season he averaged 3.7 yards a carry. For such a highly touted player out of college those are not good numbers, but when his 73 receptions for 5.7 yards a carry are added his value changes. In a league in which the short pass is becoming another version of the run his ability to catch out of the backfield and move in the open field are priceless. Still, his development as a runner is key to pursuing Saints playoff tickets this season.
The division schedule should not present many challenges, so Drew Brees should have plenty of time to continue building his repertoire with Marques Colston and turn either Devery Henderson or David Patten into a real number two threat. The addition of Jermey Shockey is going to give New Orleans a great target over the middle. The offense could probably win the NFC South division on its own, but the defense will have to see a remarkable improvement for the Saints tickets for the playoffs to be anything more than a one-game tease.
