LAPLACE – The Saints seem to be on everyone’s lips these days. As such, L’Observateur thought it would be appropriate to ask it readers “The New Orleans Saints' unprecedented 13-0 start created some lofty expectations for the 2009-10 football season. What, if anything, still needs to happen for it to be considered a successful campaign?” in its weekly online poll.
According to poll results, over half of respondents, following the overtime win on Sunday against the Vikings, consider this season a success already.

As for the rest of respondents, it seems some people will never be satisfied. Perhaps 43 years has just hardened their hearts to the beloved Black and Gold beyond repair.
A full breakdown of last week’s results follows:
• 14 percent of respondents chose “They've already been more successful this year than any other year. Mission accomplished.”
• 38 percent of respondents chose “The Saints must beat the Vikings on Sunday to call the season an absolute success.”
• 25 percent of respondents chose “All or nothing. They must win the Super Bowl, or the season is a bust.”
• 11 percent of respondents chose “Success? The Saints still have a lot to prove before they can be called a success.”
For next week’s question, L’Observateur will continue to ride the excitement surrounding the Saints, just like the rest of the region. The question is: Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings was one of the most exciting games football fans have seen in a while. In a game truly decided by a few key plays, which play do you think was the most crucial?
