Playoff Picture - Its quite possible

This is freakin pipe dream. Even more so than Atlanta winning a playoff game.

I guess it's truly hopeless then, LOL.

Too early to run all the scenarios and odds. Way too much can happen..

Im sure we can serve the Giants their own ass at their home.

Yep.

And just 2 more games will make the playoff picture so much more clear.

If we had Payton I'd feel pretty good about our chances. Let's face it, our offense is what sets us apart from the pack and Brees is what makes this O tick. But what makes Brees THE best QB is working with Payton. Those two together are like Montana/Walsh. It's like the football gods ordained that these two should team up.

Drew is still good enough to pull it off even without Coach. With a little help. (Run the frikkin ball!) Being down to our 18th string OT isn't helping though.

Brees though needs to get used to getting better without Payton because he may not be back. I'm just imagining all the stuff JJ is putting in his head.

I see whats being said. But what did we really expect starting 0-4-
A defence thats on tract to be the worst ever. I tell u what we had apretty dam good fight going on and u never no whats in coming thursday. Another 3 game winning streak.would rap up a winning season that was vertually a 2 - 14 bury our heads in the sand season. Paytons damm proud of the boys now. And he should see we need to revamp thedef ends. Via trade or draft.

You win and lose as a team, unfortunately when you are the 100 million dollar man, QB and leader, you take the hit. And quite honestly, he deserved most of the blame on this one. After busting there humps for 29 minutes and 22 seconds to gain momentum and take the lead, you can not throw a pick in that situation. He had tunnel vision on Graham and all 11 defensive players on the niners knew where he was going. Can't make that throw, period.

It's quite possible just not very plausible.

I'm only noting this because I'm in the middle of grading terrible papers, but "plausible" = believable, and in describing probabilities, you might wish to use "likely", as whatever probability is assigned to an outcome, its likelihood encompasses the statistical believability in that outcome.

Carry on.
