Do any 0-2 NFL teams still stand a chance to make the playoffs?
 
I say the Saints will got into the bye week at 2-2, get on a roll and win the division and at least one playoff game.

"The New Orleans Saints also have a puncher's chance. Despite sitting at 0-2, they are only a game back of everyone in the division. The Buccaneers are young, the Falcons are sporadic and the Panthers haven't really gotten off on the best foot (their running back, Jonathan Stewart, is already hurt). New Orleans still has Drew Brees, who has thrown for 686 yards already this year. The issue for the Saints is the schedule. After their Week 5 bye, they get the Panthers, Chiefs and Seahawks in successive weeks. After traveling to San Francisco, they get the Broncos and Panthers in back-to-back games, so it certainly won't be easy. But if the defending NFC champion Panthers falter, the division could be there for the taking."

We've seen it happen with other teams, excluding the Browns of course....

There is no reason why they can't. I have faith.

That's right.....except for our corners I feel pretty good about this young group. Moore has played well but we need Breaux and Williams back before I have any faith in this defense.:jkool:

I choose not to be negative. I'll probably outlive everyone here who insists on being negative all the time.

Oh, and black and gold. Always black and gold.

12% sounds about right. We will need to catch fire at some point like last year's Chiefs.

You're the most negative person here, pal. Your level of faith in a team doesn't define your whole personality. Same with anyone else.

0-2 doesn't equate to positive.

Sorry, you are not very good at reading people. I am about as positive about everything as you can get.

I'm neither a half-full or half-empty kind of guy. I'm a flat realist. 12% historical chance is concerning, considering the last 4 years of history for this club, and the upcoming games.

We should be looking at the draft.

16 games dude. Saints aren't great at this point (obviously) but have been in it with young guys despite injury to major contributors. They certainly may get on a tear or they may fall apart. Don't see quit in these guys yet. None in me either.

I think I'm more than adequate at reading people. But with you, I don't have to read anything other than your words. You hate everything that everyone says.

Seems pretty negative to me.

Agreeing with yourself, and trashing others (which has been well documented by now) does not translate to being a positive person. But you go ahead and keep pumping your chest out. No one is impressed.

And yes, of course there is a chance of making the playoffs. I wouldn't say it's a great chance, given the injuries. I watch every game the same way. The level of emotional investment is always high, unless I'm having a horrible day, in which case games tend to mean a lot less.

But if I'm being honest with myself, I just think there is too much stacked against this team, unless some guys get back faster than expected. No sense in getting my hopes up with unrealistic expectations. If they do make it, it will be all the more exciting in the end.

Iv'e been out of town so I just watched the condensed version of the game on NFL game pass and I saw a lot of positives for our team in this game.

One of the most pleasing things was the Saints attitude, still fighting to the last few seconds.

They'll be even more fired up against the Falcons. So can we make the playoffs? OF COURSE WE CAN? Keep the faith!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!
