Think Saints are this years 'Cinderella' story?

[silversurfie]

Reading the article of Joe Horn visiting NO refugees and how it gave him hope and the drive to play football. It made me wonder on how deep their drive goes and would it effect the team emotionally and mentally. Having the drive that no one else does, will their level of play take a dive from the recent tragedy or will it push them to new heights?

I believe we quite possibly have a cinderella story on our hands. Thoughts?

No, because they are still the Saints.

As long as Aaron Brooks is quarterbacking that team, they won't do anything significant. I can see them making the playoffs in the weak NFC, but they have zero chance at winning it all. In addition to their terrible quarterback, their defense is atrocious.

I voted No but I thought the explanation next to it was too harsh. The problem is they have such a big hurdle in front of them now. Even making the playoffs would be really rough.

8 extra road games? That is not kind.

I think thats the biggest hurdle. Thats going to be really rough on them.

I voted no.

[124]

No, they're still the same old 8-8 Saints.

[Blackout]

5-11 at best

Maybe he will throw a few more backward passes to his Rb or better yet his OL. Not a very good leader, however he always has a smile on his face. So if he's enjoying himself, then leave him alone. I'm just glad i'm not a fan.

THis years cinderella story:Panthers

There will sympathy shown around the U.S for the Saints but that will not translate to a better team. Brooks is too inconsistent -Panthers and Falcons are the top of the division

[lawngnome o-line]

The saints are always the saints, this time they have motivation to stay united. Despite that fact, 16 road games are too much to deal with. 8-8 which just might make the playoffs in the NFC.

[The Gun Of Bavaria]

not a chance.

Problems with the Saints in 2005.

Brooks is still their QB

Haslett is still their HC

Their Defense sucks

Entirely way too much drama in their lives.

Their preseason has been disrupted and their lives will stay that way

The away trips and stress from the hurricane related things will make the team implode by week 7.
