Chin UP Saints Fans!!!

Listen --

We were up to the challenge today, we just woke up a little late, and in their house you can't do that...

The "experts" had us 9-7 and possibly 3rd place in the NFC South. Not so much.

The "experts" gave us no chance in Philly. Not so much.

Far as I'm concerned we were playing with house money all season long after having been without a coach last year and the lack of any real expectations for our team outside our own fan base.

We need some help on the o-line, but we proved we can run the ball. We just witnessed the greatest defensive turnaround in the history of the NFL, and we did that with tons of players hurt and unable to play.

Anybody think Sean and Mickey will fail to work their offseason magic speak now.

The future remains bright. This was one heck of a "recovery" year for our franchise and we will be right there in the thick of it again next year.

Chin up. We be solid.

We have some solid 'pieces'.

I can't wait to see our D next year when all the injured players come back.

Imagine what our D is going to look like next year.

Congrats to Seattle. Good team and took advantage of a crack in the NLF penalty system. Can't fault them for that, that's an NFL issue not their problem. Enjoy it because next season there will be a hack a shack rule change. Count on it.

It was a good year!

If we can't win it with this team, we can't win it at all.

I think our offense will look better next year too. With a solid running game, it'll take pressure off Drew to do everything. Hopefully, he won't have to force the ball as much.

I would love, love, love to see our team become a power-running team (Robinson, PT, and Ingram) with a crushing, smothering defense.

Then, have Drew sit back and pick teams apart on play action passes.

And I believe that's exactly what we're about to see.
