We just need more speed to stretch the field. Cooks is the only one who can at the moment. Plus he's like 6'2". Brees should be able to get him right. A 6th rounder is worth the chance.

Re: Getting back in the playoff race

ONE week at a time...

We are not the dominant team we once were. And evidently a 27 point lead will not be enough.

Re: Getting back in the playoff race

We are not in the playoff race. However, we just defeated an undefeated division opponent. Next up, we got up 27-0, on an OK team who looked good against the Pats, while we were on the road, while creating 3 turnovers and getting lots of pass rush, and playing balanced on offense ( Pass 266 / Run 183 ). The trajectory we are on right now -- says our stock is rising.

Lots to do though -- we still gave up 376 yards. There are way too many penalties. Receivers and QB still not in sync. And, we need to learn how to finish games.

We'd need a few good bounces to finish 8-2. Its possible but there's no margin for error.
10-6 probably gives us a 50% shot at a wildcard.
9-7 will require some luck.

Re: Getting back in the playoff race

Beating a 4-3 NFC New York Giant team at home this Sunday when you're 3-4 will help start the playoff talk again.

We need to start piling up NFC wins...oh, and get to .500 first.

Re: Getting back in the playoff race

nine games remaining...We will definitely be favored in 6, def underdog at ATL, and question mark games will be home to Carolina and @ Wash: 2-3 points + or -

so... we'll be the better team in 7 of the 9 remaining games
