| After waiting for 43 years, the patience of long-suffering fans in the Gulf Coast region was finally rewarded. The New Orleans Saints, long the symbol of football futility, enjoyed the greatest year in franchise history.

The Saints then completed a storybook finish by upsetting the favored Colts to claim their first Vince Lombardi Trophy. Relive all the thrilling moments of the 2009 season with this exciting Blu-Ray disc, from training camp right through their triumph in Miami, with action from every regular-season and playoff game--the cliffhangers, comebacks and unforgettable moments. Hear all the sideline sound, player and coaches wires and locker room celebrations as the cameras and microphones of NFL Films, along with exclusive-to-BluRay features that recapture the thrills and drama of the Saints super season--a championship that restored hope and pride to the Crescent City.

| The New Orleans Saints Super Bowl XLIV highlight package is rather average, but a bit better than the last few years. Of course, for any New Orleans fan it is a great keepsake, no doubt.
The feature of all the team specific Super Bowl highlight packages is about an hour long highlights reel of the New Orleans Saints regular season. This year's edition does a decent job of showing the key highlights of every regular season game. It moves at a much faster clip than most years, or at least seems to, and doesn't even tease at making an attempt at building up any drama, which is the greatest failure of most of these highlight packages. But unlike many previous years, where the film unsuccessfully feigns drama building, at least in this one you get what you get, a nice, fast paced journey through the New Orleans Saints' 2009 season. There is nothing particularly special about it, unless you are a Saints fan, and is entertaining enough if you are not. This edition, however, does a horrific job of building up any of the drama of the Saints' postseason. It certainly shows all the Saints highlights from the Saints point of view. But the drama building, especially of the Saints very close playoff win against the Minnesota Vikings, and their very close (despite the final score of 31-17) Super Bowl win over the Indianapolis Colts is simply a joke. You'd think the overtime victory against the Vikings and the win against the Colts were undramatic, almost foregone conclusions watching this compilation. It just does a completely lousy job of it. Worse yet, there are very few close breakdowns of dramatic plays and events during the season, and of the NFC Championship and Super Bowl wins. It's just a simply a highlights reel from the Saints' perspective, and that is about it. The Bonus Features are also a huge let down. You get the postgame celebrations, NFL media day, the halftime show, and a short personal close-up of the travails of Saints defensive tackle Anthony Hargrove, which is really the best of the Bonus Features. The Bonus Features are simply thin and not very good. The Saints made history with their first and rather dramatic win in Super Bowl XLIV. While any Saints and NFL fan will enjoy the journey, the video robs the viewer of just what an amazing and dramatic run it really was. |
This DVD is truly a good one! Good price and quick delivery, too! |
| I am a Saints Fan and I got this dvd for memories. It shows highlights from all the games from game one to XLIV. This is a must for your Who Dat collection! |
