New Orleans Saints have to believe even though many of us don't

SmashMouth · 11-28-2015, 08:59 AM

Technically, and I strongly stress technically, the New Orleans Saints remain in the NFC playoff picture at 4-6.

They face the Houston Texans on Sunday in NRG Stadium with an opportunity to remain within those playoff picture graphics splashed across media outlets by hopping up to 5-6.

You might not want to believe and you might not want to hear it. But that's exactly what Sean Payton, Drew Brees and Co. will cling to as long as it's mathematically possible. They all know the chances of playing a 17th game after Week 17 at Atlanta is slim at best. But what else are they supposed to say?

That's why you'll hear Brees say this rather than it's over:

"We recognize where we are at and we also know the road that's ahead of us. We can only win one game at a time. There is no greater challenge than the one that's right in front of us. I think the Texans are playing as well as any team especially defensively.

This is why EVERY game is a MUST win game - even just the first game of the season.

IMO injuries on both sides of the ball doomed this season.

Thats why you play every play like it could be your last. I believe.

We have a sluggers chance. There aren't many good teams in the NFC. I suspect a 9-7 team will make the playoffs. Why not us?

It aint over till it's over besides I ain't heard no fat lady sing yet

We might win 2 more games....

WillSaints81 · 11-28-2015, 05:04 PM

^And which 2 are those? Detroit and Jacksonville?

I still say the Carolina game could be our Super-Bowl and of course Atlanta. But for me I will be looking for positive signs from our Defense
under Coach Allen in the Texans game Sunday.

These are the two games I want to win! Of course, I want to win every game. But I could be happy with only those two wins the rest of the year.
