Observation from the Saints' Playoff Chances with Four Games Left

SmashMouth · 12-11-2023, 03:14 PM

3 of the 4 are at home, one in L.A.
Two are division rivals.
IF... and that's a really big IF, we win four straight, our record is 10-7 .
It would be DA's first ever winning season. Many Saints fans would commit hari-kari.
DC4's first playoff, maybe.
We'd get wiped out in the first game.

Would it be worth it?

It’s a slow Hari-Kari for most fans already.

I would hope any win is a good thing to a loyal fan. The point of the game is to win.

That said, we have a very winnable game next week versus the Giants. We should be getting Taysom back for that one and possibly Shaheed. If I'm not mistaken, both Michael Thomas and Lattimore should be eligible to return the following week to face the Rams. A win there would put us in the driver's seat with a game remaining against both the Bucs and Falcons. We are better than both those squads and could be as healthy as we've been all season entering that final stretch.

As things currently stand the Eagles would have the #5 seed and would visit the Saints. The Eagles are not the juggernaut as many had christened them and can be beat.

More like making out with an ugly sister, while she kicks you in the shins repeatedly, but yeah, for sure.

That picture of Gayle Benson giving Mickey Loomis the gameball while both have big smiles says it all. Just keep doing what you're doing.

I know, I know.

But it's hard to see.

Not at all.

Making the playoffs THIS season will not make the Saints better in 2024.

Like Underhill said, they need to have a plan of action going into next season & acquiring better talent as well as coaches.
