A way for us to not only make the playoffs but win the division
 

Carolina plays Washington this week and if my number assessment is right that Washington goes 1-3 or 3-1, then Washington pulls out a upset this week, then Carolina goes to Dallas(with Romo) and Saints on the road with nine days rest between them(usually a detriment for a team going on the road again). If we pull out the big home upset week 13, Carolina could lose their next three games. Then they play at home against the falcons, who got destroyed at home last year by them. Atlanta could be looking for payback and if they get in. Carolina has completely collapsed. Atlanta would take first place in the division and Carolina in a must win goes in to the meadowlands and beats the giants only to have to go on the road again the next week against Atlanta. Atlanta is in position to take the division or stay alive in the division race. Then, the panthers know they have to win the last game to make the playoffs and if TB can play dirty in Atlanta they can in Carolina too. Carolina will face a challenge and the pressure mounts and they lose going 10-6.

Atlanta beats the colts, loses to the vikings(it has to go this way. They then get even in TB, get back at Carolina only to run out of gas on three straight road games and lose in Jacksonville, giving them 5 losses. And then Atlanta should they lose to Carolina will be eliminated from division contention. Carolina ends up not clinching and losing.

Saints have to win out regardless.

The records going into the last week
Atlanta 10-5
Carolina 10-5
New Orleans 9-6

If Carolina loses to TB, Atlanta loses to us we have a 4-2 division record to Atlanta's 3-3 and Carolina's 2-4.

And you know what, if Carolina loses this week and Atlanta loses to Minnesota, this has a strong possibility of happening or being close to it.

I don't know Will but I'm on your side.

Re: A way for us to not only make the playoffs but win the division
 

Doesn't this feel of deja vu right about now, circa Pittsburgh game?!?

Remember, we were ready to run the table on the whole league,

only to come back to the dome for the big sh*t-pant act at home?!?

Let's actually win two games in a row before talking about playoffs...

Besides, do we really want to go one and done in the playoffs?!?

Re: A way for us to not only make the playoffs but win the division
 

That would be AWESOME. Oh wait, we still have the same defensive players. So our offense will average 60 a game for the rest of the season, AWESOME!!
I'm pulling for your theory Will, go Saints!!!!

Re: A way for us to not only make the playoffs but win the division
 

Unfortunately, I'm already looking at draft position(status). My twin brother and I go round and round about this every year we do poorly. I don't want to finish middle of the pack and just out of reach of a good pick. Or we trade an additional draft pick to move up a few notches. Which always seems to come back and bite us in the butt.

I know. I know. Oh ye of little faith............

Re: A way for us to not only make the playoffs but win the division
 

Go Saints!!

Re: A way for us to not only make the playoffs but win the division
 

I love this thread. I thought I was a homer. No WRs. Lacking elite RBs. No defense. No playoffs. Sorry.

Where's all the speculation of who's going to be the next GM and Head Coach?

I want a good pick too but u know we will start winning all meaningless games the same week we are eliminated from the playoffs. That's just how we roll.

When you overwork yourself you are putting yourself at risk of physical and emotional burnout

Re: A way for us to not only make the playoffs but win the division
 

I am not surprised Carolina won. I never basically thought so sure of myself they would lose but the numbers supported it. Obviously not.

However, while we may not win the division now, this did not affect the saints playoff chances today. This affected their chances of winning the division. Unless anyone believes Carolina can lose in both Dallas and NJ? Atlanta lost to Indy, so they have already put their selves in position for us to catch them if we win out. And if they beat Minnesota Minnesota will have 4 losses likely with road games remaining at Arizona and Green Bay.

So the division theory was wrong.

This season, I would take it.

Besides, I always want an invite to the party. Even if it seems beforehand it is going to be a bummer.

Re: A way for us to not only make the playoffs but win the division
 

Lets say we make the playoffs.
Can we beat Carolina? Yes
Can we beat Arizona? Yes
Can we beat Green Bay? Yes
Can we beat the Vikes? Child please!

There isn't a team in contention right now that we couldn't go on the road and beat.

If ya'll scared, admit it.

Re: A way for us to not only make the playoffs but win the division
 

Sunshine.

On my shoulder.

Makes me happy.

:bng:

Re: A way for us to not only make the playoffs but win the division
 

If we beat Carolina and not allow Winston to really go off on us without making mistakes like last time, we can get in. Those are the only tough games remaining on our schedule.

And I was so mad TB won that game in Philly. How does that happen? Is TB getting that good now on offense?
