(remember the giants a few years ago weren't they like 0-6 and went to and won the superbowl) so why wouldnt the saints duplicate that type of season? its still a lot of football left now if this were week 7 and we were 3-4 then i'll get a lil worried but until then stay true homie.

I'm not giving up on the team, I'll be here to the end its just disappointing to watch the team massively underachieve, especially when we all had such high hopes for the season

The only time I'll go back on my statement is if we see radical changes in scheme and play style, but unfortunately I'm not holding my breath for that because the coaching staff are delusional

Unless there are some radical changes across the board, I won't be confident with this team at all.

Right on, man. Judging the season through the first 4 games, I wouldn't be confident either. But we're lucky the bye is early this year to fix some stuff. Refreshing, radical changes would be:
1) NEVER let Morstead try a punter option read on 4th & 9 down by 2 TDs in the 4th quarter on the road. Should be a given, and sounds even stupider when I read this out loud. FIXABLE
2) Secondary communication - abysmal the first 4 games. FIXABLE
3) Can we re-hire Dimke? I can at least forgive him for missing a 41 yard field goal. Graham doesn't have an excuse. FIXABLE
4) Give the play-calling back to the OC. FIXABLE
5) Get better middle linebacker play. NOT FIXABLE
6) Get a better pass rush WITHOUT blitzing. FIXABLE, but doubtful

Re: Making the Playoffs - Sacred Math

If we win the south, it will be as the 3rd or 4th seed but we will likely this time go to Arizona, and it may be better to go there in the NFCCG instead of Divisional but for that to happen we need to have the 3 seed or for the 3 seed to lose in the wild card round. Assuming we win the south(which I'm not sure), this is how I see it going.

1.Arizona
2.Philadelphia or Dallas(Houston week 9 for Philly, Chicago week 14 for Dallas determines this)
3.NO/Det/Chi(think GB misses this time)
4.NO/Det/Chi
5.Dallas or Philadelphia
6.Seattle or Atlanta

Make of that what you will.

Making .500 would be nice....

Re: Making the Playoffs - Sacred Math

I think week 8 is the week to watch and week 11, if we beat the packers and bucs lose to vikings and we beat the bengals I will feel better about our chances. But bucs could be 4-4 after week 9 otherwise with a home division game against Atlanta looming.

Re: Making the Playoffs - Sacred Math

Let's admit it, Dallas rolled us over. The defense had very few stops on 3rd down and the offense never got rolling till the 4thQ and a fake punt that was horrible. They seem to have lost their direction. I don't think coach knows how to turn it around. I think he is just as confused as we are.
