Based on the up-and-down play in the NFC, will the Saints sneak into the playoffs?
The Saints have the talent on offense to do it, as shown by their 45-point performance on Sunday Night Football against the Giants. The offensive talent this team possesses is amazing. QB Aaron Brooks has Pro Bowl potential, while WRs Donte Stallworth, Joe Horn and Jerome Pathon are a great trio. Heading up this impressive group is RB Deuce McAllister, who already has rushed for over 1,500 yards this season.


If not for one or two plays in a few games, this team has the potential to be 13-1, even with its patched up defensive unit. But despite the mistakes that have plagued this team in crunch time, the Saints' game versus the Cowboys to end the season looms large for both teams. That game could very well determine which team receives the last Wild Card berth.
