The Saints are one of only five teams that have never been to the Super Bowl the teams are as follows.
- Detroit Lions (Won 4 NFL championships and went to the NFC Championship in 1991)
- Cleveland Browns (Won 4 of 6 NFL championship appearances and went to 3 AFC championships 1986, 1987, and 1989)
- Jacksonville Jaguars (Expansion team and went to 2 AFC Championships in 1996 and 1999)
- Houston Texans (expansion team, and never made the playoffs)
- New Orleans Saints (Went to 1 NFC Championship in 2006)
This is pretty bad especially when you consider the fact that two of the above mentioned teams are expansion teams and have not been in the NFL for even fifteen years. The Saints however have been an NFL team since 1967. So why haven't they ever been to the Super Bowl? Quite frankly it is because they have never been good enough. Some say it has been because of a curse, others say because of the fact that they have never had all the right players at the same time, but I say that they have just never had a good enough team.
Now that the Saints has what is considered to be the best roster in the team's long history what will happen now? What will the excuse be if they do not make it to a Super Bowl this year? Honestly there will be no excuse, it is now or never for the Saints so it had better be now!
I am a college student and a huge fan of the NFL and the New Orleans Saints. If you are interested in any Saints apparel, specifically New Orleans Saints Merchandise or just want updates on the Saints then check out this site http://neworleanssaintsmerchandise.net
