this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Wait, I forgot. The Panthers started 0-2 last year and I thought it was over for them. I think they won the division....

This team can definitely still go starting at 0-2, no question. They are going drop 60 this sunday. Even the defense can't screw up that kind of production.............hopefully.

Re: Seasons on the brink: Which 0-2 teams can still get to postseason?

My thought is that we lost 2 games on the road by less than 3 points holding a lead inside the last 2 minutes of each game. Also the team scored a grand total of 58 points in those games.

Literally each game turned on a total of 2-3 plays each.

Now are the Saints exhibiting problems? Absolutely. The defense is a sieve and the offense both makes mistakes at critical times and do not seem to have a good game plan for the 4 minute offense at the end of games.

But I think there is a huge overreaction to not meeting the expectation of being 2-0 at this point. When the offense makes a few less mistakes and the defense makes a few more stops, then this sputtering start will soon be forgotten.

Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO

Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.

8-0 at home 4-4 on the road = 12-4 hopefully the road goes thru Nola in the post season.

8-0 in back to back seasons is a tall order, ya think?

And frankly I'm no longer satisfied accepting this BS that the team can only win a championship as a #1 seed with HFA. If you are the best team in the conference, then it should be doable to win in anyone's stadium at any time of year.

The 23-15 loss in Seattle in January last season wasn't a blowout. It should be doable.

I believe the past 2 seasons Payton was 16-0 at home, so why not make it 3 years running? It is all speculation on my behalf but real possible. Also I agree they should be able to win anywhere, losing just sucks.

Well hold on a second. I remember a statistic about the #1 seed rarely making itt o the superbowl when we and peytons colts made it there. I think your record is very vindictive on how good you are , but do not dismiss a team littered with losses making the playoffs.

07 Giants were lucky they made it at all
10 Packers were very similar to our team now.

Perhaps we were destined to split in Atlanta and drop a headscratcher or two on the road. We always do anyways. Looks like were taking our lumps early which feels bad , but itz demands we take a microscopic look at our team. The Atlanta and Cleveland losses may ensure that we dont commit the same errors come January. And to be honest , if there were a good time for us to correct Robinson or even lose Ingram for a few weeks it would be now , not when we host the Cardinals in the playoffs

You Can't Say Impossible without first saying Im Possible ...

I wouldn't care what our record would be to get into the playoffs, as long as we were on fire when the time come. We can beat anyone when we are clicking on all cylinders, homefield advantage or not. We do still have to put up some wins to get there though!!

I would love for the team to pick themselves up and dust themselves off. Home would be the place to do just that.
Rise up..............oh wait, that's taken.
