Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
If we lose to the Panties you know that Tampa is going to come in and play balls out just to keep us from getting there. They have nothing to lose so they are gonna pull out every trick in the book. Thankfully we still control our own destiny but it's gonna be tough

lol
Not happening. We aren't losing to Tampa in the Superdome. That's a guarantee. Even if we lose to Carolina this Sunday and we end up 11-5, we get in as the 5th or 6th seed depending on how SF closes out the year. We hold a tiebreaker over Arizona which otherwise would be the biggest threat to knocking us out. NFL Playoff Picture - 2013 NFL Standings - CBSSports.com |

Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
We hold tie breakers from the Cowboys, Cardinals and Bears. That leaves the Eagles as the only team that could catch us. So slim chance. We can lose the next 2 games and still make it in. Not pretty though.

Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
They are in, Tampa beating the Saints in the Dome would be the upset of the year.
How hard of a road they will have is yet to be determined. |
Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
The road loss to the rams was sh*tty, but it's not like we haven't bounced back from a sh*tty road performance this year...
|
Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
Remember the last time the Saints lost the last 3 games of the season going into the playoffs, that's right they went to the Super Bowl. Now that's unlikely we can do that again but I don't believe we will miss the playoffs
|
Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
If by some slim chance the Saints actually found a way not to make the playoffs, there would be nothing I could do but laugh about it. I guess then Sean Payton would be getting fired and Rob Ryan taking over the team...

Damn, man. You are back in the dog house again. Woof.

Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
You know what is interesting about you Dude, you rarely comeback to defend these hissy-fits -- after people challenge you. If you are going to write this phobic drivel, then at least have the balls to respond to people's comments.

Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
Hopefully, but the possibility is still there and that would suck to drop from competing for the one seed to a wild card spot in 3 games. If we beat the panthers it won't matter if we lose to Tampa or not but after yesterday I don't hold out much hope.

Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
Of course nobody cares about the 10 positive threads I've made but the minute I mention something negative that's a possibility people jump all over me like I'm not a fan. What a great way to treat a fellow fan. Good job.

Perhaps titling the thread "there's a slight chance we may miss the playoffs" is a bit more realistic than the "OMG there's a HUGE possibility we miss the playoffs entirely". It isn't a HUGE chance, its a slight chance. The thinking that "anything bad can happen" is a whole lot different than thinking something bad is "likely to happen". Some of your posts come across as the latter. Just my 2 cents. |
Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
I like when "The Dude" does this, it sure makes some interesting comments from him and a lot of other people!! It's never a dull day!!

Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
You think Payton is just messing with the opposition?
The Pats loss ok. But a good general always has something up his sleeve. Two embarrassing losses? When is the last time you can remember that? I think Sean has got an ace in the hole, and we will see a different team in the playoffs. |

Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
here's the 'huge possibility'
we lose both, and: Arizona beats both SF and Sea OR Bears and Lions both win out so not huge so much, more like highly unlikely, as again, it starts with lose both |
Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
It is very very very very unlikely that we miss the playoffs. First, we have to lose out, one of those games being against Tampon Bay, at HOME (like seriously not going to happen). Then the Cardinals have to win out, one game vs Seattle, in Seattle (Not going to happen). And then beat the 49ers the next week. Now having success in the playoffs is a different story.

The Lions can't catch us now since they lost. The Bears/Packers play a game so one of them have another loss. The Packers can't catch us and we have tie breaker on the Bears. We also have the tie breaker on both the 40Whiners and Cardinals. So, can someone explain to me why we haven't clinched a spot yet? My brain hurts. |

And keep in mind, Carolina loses the tie breaker to the Cards, so if Carolina loses two, the Cards could bump them from the wildcard. |

Seems like all the teams in the hunt play each other NO- 10-4 (plays CAR and TB) CAR 10-4 (plays NO and ATL) SF 10-4 (plays ATL and AZ) AZ 9-5 (plays SF and SEA) NO has tie breakers over AZ and SF, so one win and one of them is out. CAR can be bumped out at 10-6 if AZ finishes 10-6 and SF at 11-5. We get bumped only by losing our last two, and AZ wins their last two. |
Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
This site explains it all pretty well. The sky would have to fall for us to miss the playoffs

I'd like to say "I feel your pain," but I OWN my pessimism proudly. I earned every emotional scar in the 47 years in which I've been a Saints fan. That gives me carte blanche to rip on Pollyana's and the genetically misinformed. I suggest you not imitate the current version of the Saints and NUT UP. |

Once you saw the thread title, did anyone need to look to see who posted it?

Dude.... All seriousness aside.
Have your past girlfriends agreed with your interpretation of huge? ;P |
Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
I guess there is also a huge possibility we will trade Drew for a 4th rd pick

Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
just win it is that simple. loss and well we do not belong in the mix.

Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
Dude, if I were a moderator, I would have to get every post that you put on here approved. You sir are a Debbie downer and you remind me of the old man that used to sit next to me during Saints games. Everything they did wrong he complained all game. If something good happened he said about time or that was lucky.
Your out of control and need to go to WHODAT rehab sir. |
Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
but to be honest if we do not win sunday other teams will effect when and were we play. we will no longer be in control.
two losses in the division to close out the season? i could not bear to see it |

We could lose. Personally, I think we pull it together, by hoisting that huge chip, that got us to the SB, back on our shoulder and play with the intensity that we need to bring the wrecking crew to Carolina. We already beat them -- so everybody knows we can do it. Everybody, meaning the team. Again, I think this road thing is mental. Sean et al, know how to inspire. |
Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
i said barely lmao. remember i am an old dog and been through worse than this.
they need to pull it together because even with an almost perfect game in carolina beating the kitties will be hard on the road. they always have played us to the final seconds there. thus is life in the NFC south. i still say it is one of the hardest if not the hardest division to win. team records mean nothing. nothing is a given in our division. we know that the saints know that and my gut says they over looked the rams and were thinking of the panthers. i just wish they would not be so gut wrenching every year. just once i want them to handle business and stop dragging me through the mud. i will watch all the way to the end as i have always done. since they came into the nfl i can count on one hand the games i missed. i will be there to the end. as i always am |
