one game at a time

one drive at a time

one play at a time

I hear you though. It's hard not to look at the standings...

Atlanta is a good running team there is no doubt, and of course I'm a Saints homer, but they just seem fragile to me - which is not to say they aren't tough, but their close games and final drive heroics aided by penalties and non-calls makes them appear, to me, to be fragile.

The Dirty Birds winning out, IMO, is a very long shot. I think we beat them in their house, and I think they slip up on the road somewhere between now and then too.

Stop worrying about what other teams are doing. It's one game at a time.

Yeah, I know. But with only 5 week left, it's hard to not start thinking about playoff seeding.

This sounds like the old Saints concerns to me. Hope someone loses so that the Saints get into the playoffs. The Saints are in the drivers seat for the playoffs and that's all I want. They are getting better and healthier every week and after playing on Thursday they get a couple more days to heal and prepare.

Everyone was/is saying that no one wants to play the Eagles but I'm sure that most NFL teams are thinking that they would not want to face the Saints right now.

Except we are not in the driver's seat, not for HFA, the division, or even the wild card.
Of us, Philly, NYG, GB, and Chi, someone is not going to the playoffs. If we win out, or even lose just one, we are safe, but 2 losses and we very possibly could be staying home at 11-5.
