The 2007 New Orleans Saints season was the 41st season for the team in the National Football League. The team tried to improve upon its 10-6 record in 2006 and its third division title—the Saints' first in the NFC South. Their other two division titles were in the NFC West, prior to the league's 2002 realignment. After opening up the pre-season in the Hall of Fame Game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on August 5, 2007, the Saints ended with a 3-2 pre-season record. The Saints opened the regular season with a nationally televised game against the defending Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts, but ultimately had a disappointing season, finishing 2007 with a 7-9 record and missing out on post-season play.

Even as the snow that lies within the shade;
For she is no more moved than is the stone
By the sweet season which makes warm the hills”
