We need to be at least 4-4 when they come back to have a realistic shot at the playoffs.
No, it won't matter but I seriously doubt we'll be 0-8.
We've lost 2 games by a combined total of 4 point's.
I know it sucks to have that feeling of despair on Sunday afternoon but I am pretty confident that the W's will happen. Of course, I am somewhat biased too...

Look back at 2014, lost to detroit by 1 point, lost to atlanta by 3 points, lost to san fran by 3 points.

All these "we only lost by 4 combined points" doesn't matter at all, we have lost by those margins for the last two years and this is now the third.

Teams that are going anywhere consistently come out on the right side of those games, like we did in 2010 with close wins vs bengals and cowboys.

If the Saints happen to make it anywhere near the top of the draft, Leonard Fournette has to be the guy they go after. The only thing the Saints cannot do is trade a bunch of picks to get him, the roster still needs too much work.

I always worry at the though if spending that high a pick on a RB. They were down wuick snd are one hit away from a career changing knee injury

We will win more games than that. Also, there is no way Payton will tank a game. He is trying to keep a winning record.........which is difficult to do consistently fielding a sub par defense.
