I try to be optimistic like all true Saints fans, but if the goal in our division is to get 9 wins for a playoff birth, then TB only has to win 5 of their next 10 (with a weak schedule), Saints have to win 8 of their next 11. This wouldn't be such a high hurdle to jump if Tampa were sucking, but they`re not.

*and btw, I figured out the number crunching

I guess we`ll wait n see how it plays out. WHODAT!

Correct me if I'm wrong. Hadn't the Saints picked up Michael Bennet last year? I could be wrong.
