The Saints hit the bye week with something we haven’t seen much of lately — momentum. After a rocky start that tested even the most faithful members of the Who Dat Nation, this team finally looks like it’s starting to find itself.
The offense is showing life, the defense continues to be the backbone, and the locker room energy feels different — more confident, more cohesive. The early frustrations are still fresh, but so is the sense that the tide might be turning just in time for a playoff push.
This week off isn’t just a rest. It’s a reset. Key players get healthy. Coaches get a chance to fine-tune what’s finally clicking. And fans, well, we get to exhale — for a minute — before the roller coaster starts back up.
When the Saints return, the real test begins: consistency. Can they keep the momentum alive? Can they close games with the same fire they start them? Can they make the Dome shake again like it used to?
For now, enjoy the quiet, Who Dat Nation. Things are starting to look up — and in this city, hope always wears black and gold.
