However , in what now is this current “Golden Age” of New Orleans Saints football, the recollections have indeed become much more memorable; and the upcoming 2014 season promises to be one of them. Through some very shrewd offseason moves in free-agency (the signing of prized veteran free-agent All-Pro free safety Jairus Byrd paired with the addition of long-time annual Pro-Bowl veteran CB Champ Bailey), along with a very underrated 2014 Draft class (besides the All-American WR Brandin Cooks, they added three potential defensive starters for the future in CB Stanley Jean-Baptitse, ILB Khairi Fortt, and OLB Ronald Powell), the franchise seems to have suddenly regained its “swagger” after the disappointing ending to last season at Seattle.

The Saints “reloaded” what had been a roster that had looked to some (including myself) as having regressed just a bit – in spite of last year’s successful return from the previous year’s indignity of Bountygate. In my eyes, it not only has restored their position as one of the NFC’s top teams, but it makes them one of the prohibitive favorites to win it all. Yes, I am saying it, and unequivocally so: the Road to Super Bowl XLIX runs through New Orleans – and here’s a few reasons why I think that is so.
