We did start 0-2 but we also played two of the three locked in playoff teams with some questionable offensive usage and play calling. The 0-2 start inspired the team but we didn't just lose those games. We lost to the rams week 12 and that may have been how the vikings and pats games turned out where it's a tossup in the last five minutes as to who would win if we played them later on.

The 2009-2011 team had 3-1, 1-1, and 3-1 records against said teams, and I am talking about teams outside of our division. Because you want to make teams in your division scared? You beat the teams out of it that are good. Do we have a winning record against good non-divisional teams this season? No, we don't. In fact, we are actually 0-3 or 1-3 against them depending on if Detroit gets in(who is a weak playoff team this season to begin with) and that is why we are sitting here needing to win out to win the division. We could have clinched with one more win or perhaps last week because pressure to catch up in the division does affect the game performance.

I totally disagree!

The Bills and Dolphins are still in the playoff hunt

You can't knock the Saints because they played a Rodgers-less Packers team

3 of the 4 teams that we have lost to are double-digit, 1st round bye division winning teams; splitting the season series with the failclowns happens more often than not

Saints could have folded the tent against the Lions and Redskins but we found ways to win those games

The Saints are legitimate Super Bowl contenders

Enjoy the ride!

I really don’t see a Super Bowl this year. Just don’t. I would like to see us knock out Atlanta or Carolina though.

I don’t either, but it’s been a great season and the team’s finally gotten out of the funk they were in. If we can solve our 3rd down issues on offense then I think we’ll have a great shot at it next season.

The 3d down issues and SP getting in his own way are synonymous.

Good luck.

Pete Carmichael as play caller is the only option.

So zero credit to the man for having another top 5 Offense? If you’re putting the season to bed shouldn’t you acknowledge some of the key injuries suffered?
