The New Orleans Saints Hype Is REAL | James Skrmetta Reacts

The narrative around the New Orleans Saints has COMPLETELY flipped in just one year. Not long ago, national media outlets were calling the Saints the worst team in football, predicting a total collapse, and talking about tanking for the #1 overall pick. Now? Those same analysts are calling New Orleans a DARK HORSE contender in the NFC. In this video, James Skrmetta reacts to the growing hype surrounding the Saints heading into the 2026 NFL season. From predictions of 10+ wins to NFC South championship talk, the conversation around the Saints has changed dramatically under head coach Kellen Moore and young quarterback Tyler Shough. James breaks down why the national media is suddenly buying into the Saints, the parallels between last year’s negativity and this year’s optimism, and whether the hype is actually justified. Are the Saints REALLY a sleeper playoff team? Can New Orleans shock the NFL in 2026? Or has the pendulum swung too far in the other direction?
