Race to the playoffs - final four games
 

It looks like Atlanta has the best path



Atlanta

@ Rams

49ers

@Panthers

Saints

all losing records and with no momentum

they could easily run the table here

Saints will play them hard and hopefully it's for all the marbles





Tampa Bay

Saints

@ Dallas

@ Saints

Panthers

Tough game with Dallas, usually split with Saints

we will find out how for real they are



New Orleans

@ Tampa

@ Cardinals

Tampa

@ Atlanta



tough game with Cardinals all star secondary on the road

have to gain 2 games against division rivals

have to run the table or have the other two implode



Wind em up

Playoffs lol
6-10 is what it looks like, might get to 9-7 and win the last game against ATL cause they'll have the devision wrapped up. Bet you Payton hangs his hat on it too; "see guys we beat ATL, we are good" lol.

Re: Race to the playoffs - final four games
 

I hope we don't beat ATL, then we wont have to see Payton sprinting onto the field like we've just won the superbowl, except we've finished with a losing record.

Seriously, it was embarrassing when he did that last year.

3 Ws can be had. Remember on the road in the NFC South records mean nothing

Gut check time gang.

Saints need to win out and hope for a miracle.

Dude Diz you have some serious hate for Payton. Dayum man. Did he send you a **** sandwich for Christmas last year? Or did you catch him with your wife?

Wait what?

Well it's pretty much the coaches equivalent of smiling after throwing an interception, just made me dislike the fact that he completely embraced a 7-9 finish like it was a successful season.

Re: Race to the playoffs - final four games
 

I just think it would get us a better draft pick and it would be one step closer to changes happening.

Re: Race to the playoffs - final four games
 

For the 10 millionth time, its not when you draft, its who you draft.

Re: Race to the playoffs - final four games
 

There's a better chance of us getting an impact player like a "Kalil Mack" if we draft earlier though.

Re: Race to the playoffs - final four games
 

There's actually people that want the team to lose out so we draft higher. It's insane.

Re: Race to the playoffs - final four games
 

I know it sounds like a weak argument, but Tampa tanked a few years back and they are 7-4 now.

It may not be everyone's view and I'm not going to try to convince you of anything as its my opinion, but the season and team are done at this point. If we can land a stud LB or DE with an early pick that will impact our future, losing the last 4 games wouldn't hurt me any more than the whole season already has.

Re: Race to the playoffs - final four games
 

Last four games ... finish strong.

Re: Race to the playoffs - final four games
 

Do you really think there's an "impact player" in next year's draft that's so awesome that he'll come in and the Saints will just start winning?

Diz you're cool and all but cmon man. That's crazy. Look at the ****in Browns. Thet constantly draft top 5 and never can get anyone to do that.. and they have several top 5 or 10 draft picks on their team! They still suck. Know why? Because of the coaching carousel and inconsistencies they have from top to bottom.

That's why I dont care if we draft 10 or 20 or whatever. And that's also the reason I don't want to lose our coach. All I gotta think about is Cleveland. Ick. No thanks.

Re: Race to the playoffs - final four games
 

The Bucs also hired Mike Smith as their DC, their Defense has stiffened
they are rated 22 were at 26. Offense they are 12 and we are 1.

Re: Race to the playoffs - final four games
 

I would love to finish strong. Bring in more viable FA's that want to win.

Reality though is we need picks. A real tank RB, not some 220lb finesse wanna be pounder like Ingram. He's ok but we need a Blount style runner than can shove it at the goal line or bust one. Ingram and Hightower are not those backs.

Focus on ONE side of the line. I would go offense. Give Brees all the time in the world to inflict damage. If you can't get to him he will destroy you is how I see it. Even with his weak arm.

Re: Race to the playoffs - final four games
 

Fournette?

Re: Race to the playoffs - final four games
 

I've wanted a sledge hammer for years now to compliment our air attack. I think Ingram is a pretty decent back but add a Lynch type to go along with Ingram and fix the RG position and draft a RT for Strief to groom ,it gets extreamly strong. I'm not a big fan of Fleener and wish we had a better option at TE also. I'm not getting started on the D yet, I still believe there is a coaching flaw there.

Just might be.
