yokay, got mine done today. Bear with it, I do this visualization every year...
Week One @ Green Bay
Season opener proves to be as good as advertised. Lead changes five times through the game. Packers close to within three points 31-28 on 48yd TD to Finley with 6:11 remaining. Saints grind the clock down on ensuing drive and do not allow Packers to touch the ball again. Saints spread the ball around passing philosophy is transferred to running game. Ingram 68yds, PT 59yds, Sproles 31yds, & Bell 22yds. Passing game goes the opposite direction. Graham has monster 9 catches for 133yds and 2 TDs.
31-28, 1-0
Week Two Bears
After four consecutive losses to the Bears, the last three in Chicago the Saints put together a thoroughly dominating game. A 21-0 first quarter lead is highlighted by big plays- a 38yd pass to Meachem, a 58yd Jenkins interception return, and 31yd mark Ingram TD run.
34-10, 2-0
Week Three Texans
Houston proves that preseason drubbing was no fluke. Saints pile up best offensive stats yet but Texans offense has their way running and passing. Nine point lead is sealed with three minutes left after Brees fumbles on Texans 8yd line.
28-37, 2-1
Week Four @ Jacksonville
Saints start quickly with a 17-0 halftime lead. Jags never get closer than 13 points. Mark Ingram NFC Offensive Player of the Week with 122yds rushing, 28yds receiving, and two TDs.
34-21, 3-1
Week Five @ Carolina
Defense highlights win as Gregg Williams makes life miserable for another rookie QB. Five sacks, two interceptions, and a fumble recovery make for a win not near as close as the score.
27-6, 4-1
Week Six @ Tampa Bay
Tough fought back and forth battle on muddy rain drenched field. Saints rush for most yards since last season’s Week 6 game at Tampa Bay, piling up 221yds. Lowest passing yards since 2008 game at Washington with only 198. Brees is an efficient 16 of 21 however. One point lead is locked down with 1:55 remaining by Casillas interception.
17-16, 5-1
Week Seven Colts
The Colts struggling and tracking for their worst record in ten years show some sparks but never get closer than two TDs after the second half. Saints are no longer under the radar after this nationally televised game. Brees has spectacular 4 TD 0 INT 31 of 44 performance.
31-16, 6-1
Week Eight @ St. Louis
Game unfolds very similar to the Saints 2009 visit there. The Rams never take the lead but are never more than seven points behind. Bradford outduels Brees statistically but Saints defense makes the deference. Key stops in several critical situations include a 4th and goal and 4th and two yard stands in the fourth quarter.
23-20, 7-1
Week Nine Buccaneers
Polar opposite of game just three weeks earlier. Brees and Freeman both throw for almost 400yds. Ingram’s third 100 yard/1 TD game is only surpassed by Lance Moore’s 133yds and 2 TDs on 7 catches. After blowing a 17 point third quarter lead the Saints comeback taking the lead to stay with 3:11 left on Moore’s second 27yd TD catch.
41-34, 8-1
Week Ten @ Atlanta
The Saints spot the Falcons a 21-7 halftime lead on three turnovers in the red zone. Injury riddled Atlanta cannot hold on however. New Orleans ends up with five touchdowns by five different players and scoring 30 plus points for the fifth time. Tampa Bay pulls past Atlanta in the NFC South to 2nd even after the two losses to the Saints. Going into their BYE week the Saints hold a three game lead. Bucs 5-4 and Atlanta 4-5.
35-28, 9-1

Week Twelve Giants
New Orleans is abuzz when the black and gold return from bye week to Monday Night Football. The Saints do not disappoint. They control the game from start to finish. Saints fans reflect on it being eerily one sided as the 2009 game vs. Giants though not as high scoring. Opportunistic Saints double their 2010 interception total in ten games by picking off Eli Manning three times.
26-9, 10-1
Week Thirteen Lions
Playoff contending Detroit is led by Stafford in the most seesaw game of the year thus far. Controversial call of 18yd Calvin Johnson TD catch gives Lions one point lead with 55 seconds remaining. Saints move down field crisply. Another controversial play prevents the comeback try when Meachem is ruled to have fumbled after the catch on the Lions 23 yard line. Replay is evident to most that he was clearly down. The NFL offers a public apology.
27-28, 10-2
Week Fourteen @ Tennessee
Defense rules the day making Jake Locker’s fifth start his worst yet. The Saints pitch their first shutout under Sean Payton and their first since 1995. Mark Ingram becomes a clear Rookie Of The year favorite reaching the 900 yard plateau and scoring his 8th TD (7 rushing, 1 receiving).
24-0, 11-2
Week Fifteen @ Minnesota
The NFC North third place Vikings season looked bleak after losing McNabb for the rest of the season the previous week against Detroit. Christian Ponder in his first start shows some talent with two TD passes of over 30 yards aginst the Saints. Minnesota could never take the lead however with three missed field goals and three lost fumbles inside the Saints 30 yard line. Pierre Thomas has his best game of the year with 161 total yards.
23-14, 12-2
Week Sixteen Falcons
The anticipated Monday Night game falls short on drama as the Saints wrapped up the NFC South title the previous week. The game is marred by a bench emptying brawl that sees ends up with Justin Blalock and Jeff Charleston ejected. With playoff seeding at stake the Saints make less mistakes than the Falcons and cruise after taking a 3rd quarter lead.
31-21, 13-2
Week Seventeen Panthers
With home field secured for the post season Chase Daniel starts his first game for the Saints. With all starters resting it seems more like a preseason game. Each team scores back and forth but the Panthers gain their fourth win on a 48 yard field goal as time expires.
16-17, 13-3
Divisional Round Cowboys
The 9-7 wildcard winner Dallas comes into the Superdome on a five game winning streak. The streak ends at 13:22 of the first quarter when Darren Sproles has 48 yard punt return for a touchdown. The Saints never relinquish the lead. Brees leads the way with a perfect passer rating. He goes 22 of 30 for 328 yards and 4 TDs.
38-24
NFC Championship Cardinals
The bounceback 10-6 NFC West Champion Cardinals return to New Orleans for their third playoff appearance in four years. Kevin Kolb led them the week before to a startling last second 28-27 upset over the second seeded Eagles. The end result here was closer to their last visit to the Big Easy. Two early second half Saint turnovers did get them within two points. Their own mistakes and 144 yards of penalties kept them from seriously ever threatening though. Who Dat fans initiate plans to invade Indianapolis February 5th.
34-21
Super Bowl XLVI Chargers
The #3 AFC seed Chargers return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1994. There is high drama as Drew Brees faces the team that let him go and QB that he tutored. Many anticipate a shootout affair but it evolves into a tough trench warfare battle. Only two touchdowns are scored. SD leads at the half 7-3 off one 16 play seven minute drive. The Saints 9-7 lead is sealed at the 1:44 mark when Sproles takes a screen pass in from sixteen yards for New Orleans only TD. It ends up a tough call for game MVP. Many think Vilma with a 3rd quarter interception and 4th quarter fumble caused along with most tackles. The award is given to Colston for his game leading 81 yards on 9 catches, 4 of which were for 1st downs. The 16-7 win marks the lowest scoring Super Bowl since the Steelers beat the Vikings 16-6 in 1974. The NFL chatter goes to questioning if the Super Bowl Champs two of the past three years are entering dynasty type status. Lombardi Gras II will kickoff in Nawlins and surely go into Fat Tuesday nine days away.

12-4, division champs. Atlanta finishes at 10-6, with Tampa at 8-8 and Carolina at 5-11. Saints/Eagles/Packers/Rams are your division winners with the Falcons and Cowboys as wild cards. GB over Dallas, Atlanta over St. Louis in the first round. Saints beat Falcons convincingly, Eagles squeak by Packers. Saints beat Eagles in a relatively close one and then go on to defeat the Patriots in an instant classic
