For those who are wondering (playoffs) ...

As of today, this is how the Saints would "sneak in the back door" :

Win today @ Tampa.
Win next week vs Atlanta.

Then hope the Bucs LOSE to the Panthers in week 17 .

This is what happens when you don't take care of an "easy" schedule, lose to below avg teams & backup QBs.

But more importantly, you have a guy who has no situational awareness to win games as your HC.
