"Under the radar" is relative. Not because the media doesn't talk (or doesn't talk ill ) about the Saints is cause for the teams the Saints play to ignore the Saints. Other teams' coaches don't look to ESPN for scouting reports.-- Tobias
Where has "under the radar" gotten the Saints in the past? A handful of surprise seasons?
I think that the under the radar bit is created in our minds and is basically every Saints fans mindset; keep your expectations low. With this thinking if the Saints do poorly it was expected. If they do well then they've exceeded our expectations and we are optimistic until CRASH! our hopes are dashed once again. --Sorry, I had to that. Years of fandom does that.
However, this year is different. And it all starts with Coach Payton. The Saints have never had a coach like this. Their last good coach was Mora and judging by last year I'd much rather have Payton.
Barring injuries this team is bound to return to the play-offs. The tease of last years season has my expectations higher than ever before. Even higher than the Billy Joe and Billy Joe years.
