If The Saints Don't Rock The Dome Today It Won't Be Because They Didn't Get The Band Back Together1/7/2018
I'm not going to lie, this playoff appearance is starting to feel like it could turn into something special for the Saints. Admittedly, that subjective and entirely emotional opinion is at least somewhat buoyed by the fact that every playoff appearance that follows a depressing three year lay-off feels special. It's probably also a product of looking up and down a roster that - even more so than that of the one that brought them the Super Bowl - has the most prototypical build for postseason success that New Orleans has ever seen. However, it's the idea that a significant chunk of that championship team will be supporting from the sidelines that has exacerbated that enthusiasm and has my optimism trending dangerously high. All other influences aside, I truly think the Saints are a far better and more versatile team than the division rival that's already looked helpless against them twice this year. I don't see how the long-belated appearance of some additional inspiration and the backing of a crowd that will be high off the most heavy-handed dose of nostalgia does anything but widens the gap that looks to exist between the Saints and Panthers. There is going to be too many unforgettable memories in that building not to create new ones, so forgive my overconfidence in believing that Reggie Bush, Marques Colston, Lance Moore, Roman Harper, and the rest of the attending Who Dat family are in for a hell of a DomeComing.
