The Rams game was the only disappointing game for me.

I think the Saints should know EXACTLY what to do to get this team geared for a SB run next year. There is every reason to think the base is great.

I think we need a little OL help, another corner, and a playmaker or two on offense. Preferably wideouts to compliment Graham and Colston. I don't know what to think of the RB situation, but Robinson, Ingram, Thomas should be able to handle the roles.

Oh, and get us a FG kicker...please

Good rebound season. Lots to build on. Definitely a wake up call for the offense: if you go pass heavy for 7/8 of the season, Drew's arm is gonna have a bad time.

With all the throwing qb's do throughout offseason and practice and more practice, do you really think an extra 80 passes throughout 16 games just during a game with same reps during week really tires an arm out? Or could it be moer about injuries and hits and bruises etc?

Yes, successful season. It's a little frustrating that we can't seem to win @ Seattle though. I'd love to see them come to the dome at least one time.

I had a great time this season. Hard to not when you go undefeated at home.

Always a bitter ending when you lose your last game, but It was fun

How many 12-win seasons have the Saints had?

Not too many.

Big success.

A little bit of a ridiculous question. We got our coach back, played hard, improved from 7-9 to 11-5, improved the leagues worst defense into to one of the best, were very competitive and had a chance to win every game except the Rams and reg season Seahawks game, found a couple of gems in Vacarro, Stills, and Armstead.........it's obviously a successful season.

Absolutely. Season was a huge success. Anyone who says otherwise must have not watched any football in 2012.

I wouldnt say its a "ridiculous" question, its just been kind of hard to tell how the board feels about it so I thought i would ask.

Personally any time we make the playoffs and win a game i call that a success. Its alot of these fans that didnt become fans until 2006 that are spoiled and dont appreciate the run we having right now.

Reasonable response to a good season? I'm definitely not on the rant.

I digress, yes a very successful season. The only game I was disappointed in was the St Louis game (in the reg season Seahawks game anything that could go wrong did, you have to figure one game a year like that).

This time last year I never thought the D could be fixed so quickly. I think the O is a good O-lineman or two from being in great shape. A late round RB wouldn't hurt either.
