New Orleans Saints are playoff caliber but probably not playoff bound, says Darren Sharper: First-and-10

"They're definitely capable of being a playoff team," said Sharper, who now works as an analyst for the NFL Network, which will broadcast tonight's game against the Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome. "The only thing that's gonna keep them from getting there is those first four games. They just dug themselves into a hole."

He's probably right

Sharper is not 100% correct. There are more than 20 games that will keep them out of the playoffs, we need help from other teams.

Where's the "love" Darren?

We NEED another Sharper! A smart safety who can catch! Sure he was meh at run support but who cares! A safety should stay in the the backfield. I think what he said was very fair.

Our philosophy in 09 worked though, we got ahead by a couple TD's, forced the team into throwing the ball and that's when our DB's and sharper were at there best

As long as teams kept it close by running successfully we struggled, when the team came out firing sharper made them pay

Don't hate on Sharper... He's 100% Correct.
The Saints are hot/warm atm... just the schedule is hard and thats what folks are looking at.

He's right....we have to have alot go our way and we have to win out...

Last week was the first week of our playoffs, unfortunately.

We've given away too much this year.

Miracles happen, however. And I'm spiritual.
