Saints Odds of Making the Playoff (Fan Prospective)
 
We should be 7-5 and maybe 8-4. What do you think the teams real chances of making a playoff game is? :rolleyes:


You Have to Love Eternal Optimism.

Zero to .oo5 % chance. Sorry to inconsistent both sides of the ball. Special teams play is right off the playground and drew is starting to turn it over more frequently, not in the cards I'm afraid.

Re: Saints Odds of Making the Playoff (Fan Prospective)
 
Know it sounds like a cliche', but I really try not to think of playoffs until at least the third to last week of season, or if we're eliminated sooner...

I'm more focused on things like...

Is the team improving?

Do we have personnel on the bench that should be playing/starting?

Should we be moving/trading personnel?

Are the players properly prepared for games (coaching)?

Are we game-planning to put our personnel types in best position to succeed?

That said, asked, I'd say the team is turning the corner, but we do need to do something in the front office to replace Loomis and put a stronger check and balance in place to keep Payton from making further blunders in free agency and the Draft...

So were 5-7 and not trending very strong, our odds are not good.
I like what jeanpierre wrote this team has to look ahead and keep
improving on all aspects of this New Orleans franchise.

The last time the Saints won more than three games in a row, was Sean Payton's first month back on the job in September 2013, over three years ago now. Since then, they've never won more than three games in a row without a loss. And the last time they actually won more than 1 playoff game in a row was seven years ago. Make of that whatever you will.

Yes... I am that stupid.

Until we're mathematically eliminated, I believe.

And if we do get mathematically eliminated, I hope we screw up Atlanta's seeding.

It's hard to make the playoffs with another 7-9 record. It's possible just not probable. I voted 25%. Yep. I'm optimistic too. :p

Re: Saints Odds of Making the Playoff (Fan Prospective)
 
Now that I'm reading all the replies, it seems that the Saints actually have some real goals for the last quarter of the season:

1. Put together a real winning streak.
2. Both win in the division and play spoiler in the division. As we all know, if you cannot win your division games, the chances of moving far into the playoffs are slim and none.
3. Get a winning record for the first time in 3 years.
4. Have positive momentum into the offseason.
5. Keep open the slight chance of sneaking into the playoffs at 9-7.

Since there's a lot to play for, let's keep hope alive...

This season was over when we went 0-3.

I haven't changed my mind. We were done then. I hate winning games at this point just costing us draft picks.

Draft picks we can't control. Beating the team in front of you... Now that we can control.

Every game will be a 'must win'. Four chances to take the division against very beatable rivals.

Health and turnovers will be key.

It's going to be difficult, the Bucs are peaking at the right time, just like the Lions were and they completely whipped us in the trenches.

If we go 4-0, 70% chance we make it
If we go 3-1, 10% chance we make it

Every game from here on out is a playoff game.

Re: Saints Odds of Making the Playoff (Fan Prospective)
 
It would be great to think the Saints could make the playoffs somehow but unfortunately I don't think they will do it this season. I will still watch every game though as I'm sure most true Saints fans will.

It was suggested that the Saints could "tank" the rest of the season to get a better draft pick!

Is that actually allowed in the NFL?

GEAUX SAINTS!

Ok ok, I was wrong with the 4 game winning streak to end the season, but hey maybe win the next 3. However I will go on record and say they never seem to win on or around my birthday (12/20) so I dunno about that either. lol

Winning division games only is not going to do anything. And they don't work out if you are playing someone who has more to play for. Winning games outside the division is important and then the division wins come. The whole we have to be perfect every game to win argument is BS because we did not need to win every game the rest of the way. We needed to win just two more non-divisional games. And we failed. We just don't do things right.
