I've always felt Drew Brees was a fine QB who just needed to hook up with the right team and in NO, I think he's found that team. HC Peyton works very
well with QBs too. As well, there's the exciting running duo; Bush & Deuce.
Most importantly, they have the emotional element (Katrina) that inSTAALed
referred to earlier in this thread. That could help shape them into this year's
Cinderella story.
In Super Bowl terms, I think it would help substantially if they could ensure
home field advantage for themselves as deep into the playoffs as possible.
They appear to be on track for winning theire division. Finishing with better records than the NFC East title winner (NYG?) and NFC West (SEA?) would
help with this; their second last game of the season against the NYG could
have such implications . . .
The concern into the playoffs becomes the linebacker corps. If they run
into a team that can exploit that shortcoming, they'll have to have the rest
of their game at a mistake free level to compensate.
Win, the Super Bowl? Heck yeah, anything's possible - and that's not much of a stretch. I'd love to see it!
