That's what ESPN is asking on their poll today, the entire country agrees at 87%

Not a lock, but geez we'd have to have a collapse of epic proportions to not win 4 games the rest of the season, especially considering we have TB, SF, Baltimore(who hasn't looked impressive lately), and Carolina in our house. I'll be surprised if we end up missing the playoffs altogether.

It's early but the way things are going for the Saints and the way their playing I think they have a shot at it, there's 10 games left to play, figure we win 5 out of the 10, that would put us 10-6, IMO, 10 wins puts you into the playoffs....

We need to stay healthy and keep our confidence up. We would have a good shot.

I'm with you let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.

LongTimeFan · 10-15-2006, 09:13 PM

It's easy to get carried away with the Saints..

GoldRush26 · 10-15-2006, 09:22 PM

How are we getting ahead of ourselves?? Any other team goes 5-1 and we'd say they have a good shot at making the playoffs. Why can't we say the same about our team? Geeez

When exactly are the rest of us fans allowed to expect success from our team?

It's the same thing with the national media....like people are stiil waiting for us to start looking like the Saints of old, and no one wants to jump on the bandwagon full force yet.

All I'm saying is one week at a time.

I'm with you here GR. I think it's OK to start thinking playoffs as fans. As long as Payton keeps the minds of the players on the next game. most fans look at 5-1 and start the talk, we should too. This is not the Saints of days past. We have every right to be thinking playoffs and keeping the front office and coaches accountable.
