Playoff Possums

Seems this team was playing dead earlier in the year but still have life. The Colts took 'em to the woodshed but they beat themselves in most every other loss. Best (may be only) chance for a playoff spot will require the Saints to win all of their remaining games, and a Philly win this week over Dallas. That would have us in at the 2nd wildcard and final NFC seed edging out Dallas by virtue of head to head win. It may sound silly, but a Carolina collapse with us running the table still leaves the division still a possibility. Otherwise, I don't see a similar collapse by the Rams or Seahawks happening? Does anyone see it otherwise?

I\'m right with you on all points SaintNik. That\'s exactly the way I see it shaping up. If the Panthers lose this week at Atlanta, that will be 3-losses in a row and the confidence could be shaken to the core.
