Today is the first day of the rest of the football season

Can the 4-4 Saints get it together today against the hated Atlanta Falcons and set themselves up for a serious playoff run?

Yes. They. Can.

Because:

1) Bush is still out. Deuce will get the damn ball

2) Poochie's useless person and big mouth will remain relegated to the sideline.

3) The Saints have most of their division games remaining ahead of them. There is still time to get back in the race.

4) The new kicker might not suck.

5) After that election, it's perfectly fine to believe anything can happen.

Update: Heh... not so much. It will be very interesting to watch how the rest of this season plays out. Keep this in mind, though. Coach Soupy really really really wanted Jeremey Shockey on this team. I think that tells you all you need to know about Coach Soupy.
