It is interesting. However there are teams like Green Bay (referring specifically to the NFC) that have less problems reaching consecutive playoffs.

(Thinks: maybe scheduling could be a reason and some of these declining from playoff teams are playing the likes of Green Bay in the following year).

However that is not the reason the Saints may not make the playoffs.

Not saying I'd have done that. Just saying I wouldn't have faulted someone else for it. The team acted like they didn't wanna be there, why should the fans?

I couldn't make this one either, but I had to turn the sound off in the third quarter. I can't believe fans were Booing their own team. I sure hope whoever bought my tickets was not in that embarrassing group of fans.

This season in particular Graham has been horrible on drops and toughness. This season and last Colston has been too high on drops.
So this season, we have Colston and Graham, once our main tandem, competing for dropsy championship.

Put a fork in it it's done - the loss to Carolina shot down all logical hope!
Nobody in this Division deserves to go anywhere but home.

Well, Atlanta lost, so Saints are still in the hunt,

. I know it seems dubious, but you still gotta' hold out for the Division title, IMO. It is what it is. Sometimes it doesn't matter how you get there, as long as you get there.

I want you guys to ask yourselves, "what would teddybarexxx do?" (WWTBXXX), and then do the total opposite. Let that be your guide the rest of the way and at least see how the season plays out,

If the Saints want to go to the playoffs they'll need to buy tickets just like everyone else.
