No help from anywhere

No help from anywhere

We might as well have turned off the out of town scoreboard for the past 2 weeks. We have gotten ZERO help from other teams.

Lot of teases, but no results.

Atl over TB & GB
NYG over Jax
Philly over Hou
Chi over Det

Hard to believe at 9-3 we are in danger of not making the playoffs, but all of the top teams are sqeaking out wins.

While we have not "Locked" a wildcard. I wouldnt saw we are in danger of loosing it.

We are not tied with anyone for that spot. The only 4 teams ahead of us are the 4 Division leaders.

We are 1 game ahead of the rest of the teams below us in over all Record. And two whole games ahead in Conference Record.

LOL actually for what it is worth, we have the best conference Record in the NFC, and second best in the League (Behind Jets).

Here is Saints What if.
Saints Playoff Picture

Here is the NFC layoff picture:
NFC Playoff Picture

At 66% lock for a Number 5 Wild Card... That is 59% more than anyone else lol

We also have the second least chance of Not making the play offs all together. Some of the Division leaders have a better chance of not making the play offs than we do.

If the Saints continue winning, they will make the playoffs. Winning the division and getting HFA is probably not going to happen unless Atlanta loses 2 games and one of those losses is to the Saints.

The Saints @ 9-3 and are a full game ahead of NYG (8-4)

The rest are stuck @ 7-4.

The Saints are 5-1 on the road; our only loss being to Arizona.

I was worried how the Saints would play in the cold @ Cincy & Baltimore, but after yesterday's game, I have no worries and fully believe the Saints will run the table and finish 13-3.

Realistically, I don't see us running the table the rest of the way. However, I can totally see us going 12-4 or 11-5. Either way, we will make the playoffs.

I can see us running the table.

Injured players are back. Rust being knocked off.


Out major holes are Special teams, and getting burnt on big plays.
TO had a good day yesterday. Given he is a Hall of Fame player, when he caught the ball, we had no one in his face.

It is definitely possible that the Saints could lose a couple games.

The Rams were a close win last year and we play them next week and they are playing for a play-off berth so they will be ready.

The only reason the last 2 games were as close as they were was more because of the Saints than what the other teams did.

When Dallas, Indy, Pats, Steelers come from behind against an inferior team, the sports analysts are all in perfect harmony singing that is what great teams do. Anyone heard that said about the Saints?

The Saints are not playing their best football yet, but they are getting better each week.

Barring something catastrophic happening, the Saints will make the playoffs.

Yes actually. I don't remember if it was NFLN, Fox, or Sunday Night Football but somebody said it yesterday.
