New Orleans Saints 2012 Playoffs
The New Orleans Saints managed to win the NFC South at 13-3, but they could not earn a bye. So, after beating the Detroit Lions 45-28 in the Wild Card Round, they are forced to travel west, landing in San Francisco to play the 49ers at Candlestick Park on January 14, 2012. Find New Orleans Saints playoff tickets to enjoy as Drew Brees tries to make his remind the league that his team was in the Super Bowl not but two seasons ago.
The Saints boast a powerful offense that put up 334.2 passing yards and 132.9 rushing yards a game, scoring 34.2 points a game. They are exceptionally potent at home, but can struggle on the road. The last three road games of the regular season yielded 26, 22, and 42 points. That 42 point total is impressive until it is revealed the game was against the Minnesota Vikings. The true question is just how good is the Saints defense? New Orleans has the third-worst passing offense, an alright run defense, and a lacks the ability to create turnovers.
For the Saints to advance very far, they must stop the pass or force turnovers. New Orleans may not need those performances quite yet, since they are playing a 49ers team without much of a passing attack. This next game, they have to stop the run. If they can avoid turning the football over, San Fran should give them enough leeway to win via a deep bomb or two.
New Orleans Saints Playoff History
New Orleans Saints Background
From the beginning of the franchise in 1967 until 1986 the New Orleans Saints failed to make a playoff appearance. From 1987 to 1999 the franchise had four postseason appearances but failed to advance beyond the Wild Card Round. The 21st century began with a first, the Saints first NFL playoff victory, a 31-28 win over the St. Louis Rams.
It would get better a few seasons later. Drew Brees took over at quarterback and Sean Payton lent his offensive genius as the head coach. The 2006 postseason showed some potential, but in 2009 the New Orleans Saints managed to reach the Super Bowl for the first time. Playing a home game at the Superdome, they beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17.
This football time has been looking for a way back into the Super Bowl ever since that victory. OnlineSeats has the New Orleans Playoff tickets as it appears the city of New Orleans may have another championship season to look forward to.
