A few things that I'm impressed with but didn't think all was possible with the 2006 Saints..

Sean Payton, Here's a guy that we really knew nothing about, I mean we knew that his boss was Bill Parcells and that Sean was his assistant, we really didn't know if he was the right coach needed in N.O when he was first hired, or if he had what it took to turn around a 3-13 team, not only did he turn it around this year for our team but we now know that the future for the Saints is really good because of him, IMO he's the main reason the Saints are having so much success this year, he came to New Orleans with a brand you play book that the players bought into, not right away but they did eventually and I think they love their coach and have great respect for him, kind of like Parcell's players.
Payton will be coach of the year ....

The Saints are the #1 ranked offense in the NFL that averages 400 yards a game, this I would have never believed going into the season if someone would have told me going into week 1, I'm most surprised with this than any other thing they accomplished so far this season.

Drew Brees, leads the league with 4240 passing yards, 296 passing yards per game on average, threw for over 300 yards in a game 8 times this season, has a QB rating of 98.2, he has thrown 25 TD's this year, Brees might not win the league MVP but IMO he's the MVP on the Saints roster.

I am kind of worried about the Giants, but I feel that the Saints will win by a big margin but you never know.
The Saints are the NFC South Champs and are in the playoffs , something that not many of us thought was possible going into the season, we lost sight of this due to the Skins loss, we need to be thankful with what they accomplished so far this year, they have a chance at going to the Super Bowl but if they don't make it that's ok because we really didn't see that happening this year anyway.

Go Saints...

Rest In Peace JoeSam, thanks for everything my friend.
