New Orleans Saints

The good: The Saints' defense finished second in the league in takeaways, and their opportunistic ways resulted in seven defensive scores. Although the unit struggled during the final stretch of the regular season, it regained its swagger during the playoffs and carried New Orleans to the Super Bowl title.

The bad: The Saints lost their final three regular-season games, leading to questions about their ability to recapture the momentum from their 13-game winning streak and their worthiness as title contenders.

The ugly: The debauchery taking place on Bourbon Street after the Saints bring home their first Super Bowl title. The celebration has been aptly dubbed "Lombardi Gras" because it came one week before Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

Where do they go from here? The Saints captured the country's attention on their way to winning their first championship. Yet, coach Sean Payton and general manager Mickey Loomis must make a series of prudent roster decisions to ensure New Orleans' standing as a title contender next season.


with the ugly? Dude, if you can't think of what to write, don't write anything.

debauchery? WTF?

Drinking and celebrating is "debauchery"? That guy is a fricking idiot.

Maybe we should have rioted, turned over and beat cars with a bat and lit a few cop cars on fire like most other cities do when their team wins.

The ugly: The Vikings failed to advance to the Super Bowl despite outplaying the Saints for most of the NFC Championship Game.


So this is a universally accepted truth now?

It's not their fault, the Saints really did win it their way. Every time I heard about the defense people said something like "You can't really rely on creating turnovers...but it's what they've done all year" I don't know if there's ever been a championship defense like the Saints. Usually the turnover creating defenses have been part of dominant, defensive team like Tampa and Baltimore during their SB runs who were both 1st in points allowed and turnover differential. By contrast the Saints were 3rd in turnover differential but 20th in points allowed.
