In no way does a playoff berth extend anything other than an additional game, at least, for the dedicated fans of our Saints to attend another game and support the team that we love.

I'm sorry, but no part of me accepts the desire for my Saints to lose any game. To me those that feel that way are no different than a lowly Falcons' or Bucs' fan. Once again, I'm sorry if any of you have an issue with that, but that is just how I feel. And I assure you that I am not alone in that. I refuse to take any pleasure from my beloved team losing any game. Never.

I don't care anything about those that feel differently. That's on them.

excuse me while i go puke.

This team is awesome.
Keep doing what you're doing.
I'll give this franchise my money no matter what.

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.

Devito gonna make Carr look like a rookie

Nope. This team has many faults, mainly the coaching. Changes are definitely needed. And what I choose to do with my money is none of anyone else's business.

Wrong. Your money is Saints Mismanagement’s business. Literally.

To honestly look at the Saints chances at this point we need to include the games remaining for the other two teams in the race.

Saints

vs Giants
@ Rams
@ Bucs
vs Falcons

Bucs

@ Packers
vs Jags
vs Saints
@ Panthers

Falcons

@ Panthers
vs Colts
@ Bears
@ Saints

I don't see either TB or Atlanta making it through the final four games without at least one loss. Two losses each appears to be very possible.

To honestly look at the Saints’ chances at this point, with all the ridiculous hypothetical scenarios which at best, would result in the painful continuation of a sub-mediocre product being sustained, is to lose sight of the fact that the rest of us are DEMANDING that this team rebuild and restore the satisfaction to the fans who EXPECT to see a WINNING (or at least, a highly competitive) FORMULA on the field.

FOCUS.
