How do you lose an offensive wizard like Sean Payton and just keep on moving forward? When does Drew Brees show up?
02/07/2012	6	2
Biggest offseason priority: Getting Drew Brees signed to a long-term deal. You can bet it will happen soon.
01/03/2012	2	2
They open the playoffs with the Lions. You think Drew Brees is licking his chops after what Flynn did to that secondary?
12/27/2011	2	2
They might be playing better than anybody right now. The defense is still giving up a lot of yards, though.
12/20/2011	2	5
They are playing as well as any team in the league right now. Can anybody slow down Drew Brees?
12/13/2011	5	6
If they win out, and San Francisco loses another game, the Saints will get a first-round bye. That would be huge, because they are so tough at home.
12/06/2011	6	6
Drew Brees has that offense playing at a high level. But if they are to really have a shot to beat the Packers, they better shore up a defense that has given up two 400-yard passing games the past two weeks.

The way that offense is going, they're going to be tough come playoff time. I still worry about the pass defense.
11/22/2011	6	6
They come off the bye with a big Monday night game against the Giants.
11/15/2011	6	9
They go to the bye with a 7-3 record and atop the NFC South. They still need to tighten up that defense.
