Saints do not deserve the playoffs

Halo · 12-22-2013, 03:53 PM

I could care less what our rank is in the "POWER RANKINGS"
or
What the commentators say on TV
or
Whether we win making statements
or
What our rivals think for that matter.

I'll take the playoffs and a winning season any day of the week and be happy to have the opportunity to compete.

I'm also a Saints FAN until the day I die, whether the team wins or loses. Was a Saints fan my entire life before the Superbowl, have been and will be my entire life after.

No doubt, I don't get to the board usually on game day and Wow, some of this is ridiculous.

Tough loss, but we are still heading to the post season and there is a relatively strong chance Atlanta can beat Carolina at home. The Rams game was a killer, but either support the team or jump off.

Thanks Halo, go Saints.

No, we are not in the playoffs yet. Cards must lose today for that to happen. Looks like they will go in at the half tied at 3

Hopefully Carolina stays high in the clouds and lays an egg against the Falcons. I will never call Matt Ryan Shatty Ice again if they win. I will also refrain from posting that picture from now on.

So what you are saying by this thread is that a #5 or #6?seed doesnt deserve to be in playoffs? Stupidest thread by far

Neither did Seattle a few years ago. But that didn't stop them from slapping us upside the head. Once the playoffs start it matters very little, if at all, what happened in the regular season.

And where did we play that game? The point I am trying to make is this team for some reason CANNOT win on the road. In the playoffs they have NEVER won on the road including losing to a 8-8 Seattle team two years ago. If losing on the road was not in the teams head it is now for sure!

That's not true, the Saints have won on the road this year.
You're right we have not won a road playoff game yet.
The criticism of the Saints is NOT that they can't win on the road, rather that their performance on the road is not nearly as good as it is at home.

Anything CAN happen, but we lengthened any potential trip back to the Superbowl by 2 road games.

Sure we deserve the playoffs! It's not like we're the first NFL team to back their way into the postseason LOL
