Can we catch Atlanta?

Sure. It requires another NFC loss from them in addition to the Saints beating them in Atlanta January 1st.

But essentially the Saints would have to go 6-0 down the stretch. Last week was quite damaging to our playoff chances this season.

Hope is the last thing to go, right?

You're having this discussion as if Atlanta was 9-2 and we are 2-9.

The NFC South is a tight division. At the end of today there can be as small as 2 game swing between first and last in the division with 5 to go.

So nothing is decided until it is decided.

And with the Saints hanging 49 on a top 5 defense today doesn't diminish that hope.

5/6 or 6/6.

With a healthy team, it can be done. Even without playing "perfect football".
