Saints in the playoffs if we go 9-7

Hold on, time out... Billy got BOOTED?!?!? What?!?!

Hey man, I understand your frustration with this site. Just know, that\'s how some of us feel about this team. You know as well as I do that success is hard to come by for this team, so when we have talent like this, yet continue to play like we have been, well, it drives some of us insane. Sure, this team does still have a chance, all be it a small one.

It\'s just crazy to give Haslett another pass this year. Jim Mora brought the Saints to their first ever winning season, their first ever division title, and their first ever playoff appearence. But after the \'92 season in which he went 12-4, the Saints then went 8-8, 7-9. 7-9. and were 2-6 in his fourth year thereafter when he quit. Those numbers sound an aweful lot like a the current coach\'s numbers.

Let me ask you this Saintfan. If Haslett\'s first season had been 3-13 and hadn\'t accounted for the Saints first playoff win ever, would you still be all for Haslett? If this was the year we all expected to be his chance to prove that he could make it to the playoffs and the Saints started 3-5 would you still be so willing to give him all the time in the world?

The point I\'m making is that fans are allowing this guy to slide b/c he brought us to our first ever playoff victory in his first year and we lifted him up to god-like status b/c of it. However, every year since has been anything but god-like, and this season has been the worst of his career in NO. How bad does it have to get?
