Win out at home and most likely win South

arsaint · 10-31-2014, 10:29 AM

Winning 5 at home gives us 9-7 at the worst.

As long as Atlanta or Carolina don't win all of their other games (excluding the Saints) - and they still play each other twice - we are in.

ATL and TB certainly aren't out of it, but their schedules says that neither of them are sniffing .500 this year, so its really Carolina and us.

Carolina is not playing well, but their schedule is soft. They travel to Philly and NO - other than that they have a chance. The key is to get them to 7 losses I think.

We can beat them out as long as we win all our home games and Philly (or any other team besides the Saints) beats Carolina to get Carolina a 7th loss

Up next - the Evil Empire. We must crush them!!!!

Panthers still have to play the Falcons twice; that's going to be two tough games for two very bad teams...

Mardigras9 · 10-31-2014, 10:51 AM

Panthers have the easiest remaining schedule according to the stats they showed last night.

Panthers and Falcons at home.

Jazz Music to my ears.

Weird, we won 2 games in a row, get to .500, finished a game we would not have finished earlier in the season, take division lead, and I'm still hearing Saints fans whine.

Also, where are the nay-sayers? We heard all season how this was the end and team needed to be scuttled. Really dissapointed with our fans and regulars here at black and gold.

Thank YOU to the very few here that are actually posting and participating, especially those on this thread.

Otherwise, the enthusiasm has been poop.

Admittedly my enthusiasm went in the tank when we were 2-4 and I wasn't posting anything, heck hardly even reading anything about our Saints. I was pretty disgusted with their performance up to that point. It seems we may have turned the corner now but make no mistake, I didn't jump off the band wagon, was just riding it in silence.

I was exactly the same, stopped watching saints videos and wouldn't read articles about how we could turn it around because I was disgusted with our early performance

Will gladly admit I was wrong about this team if we can continue strong, I understand we may lose a couple more games, but as long as our team continues to show improvement and we make the playoffs, I'll be a happy who dat

South schedule:

ATL - BYE, @TB, @CAR, CLE, ARZ, @GB, PIT, @NO, CAR

CAR - @PHI, ATL, BYE, @MIN, @NO, TB, CLE, @ATL

TB - @CLE, ATL, @WAS, @CHI, CIN, @DET, @CAR, GB, NO

I think that our away games are the key. Not sure we can stay undefeated at home but Chicago and PIT games are not that scary at this point. Chicago is falling apart on defense and Cutler lost that locker room. Pit secondary is very bad and their run defense is nothing special. We can win in high scoring game.
