Have we SECURED a PLAYOFF Spot?

The NFC is pretty weak. The Saints seem to be well coached, well quarter-backed, and this seems to be a team that focuses on consistency rather then statistics/personal accolades.

Is it safe to say that the Saints have a 85-90% chance of making the playoffs at this point? Am I wrong for jumping the gun here, or is this a pretty safe assumption?

Are we like the 2002 Saints who started off 6-2, and then made it to 7-2.. only to squander it - more specifically to a <b>Vikings team who was desperate for a win, on a two point conversion that <u>still haunts us to this day</u>.</b> Who thinks this will happen again? Also.. do you think Payton will consider the 2002 season when he speaks to the team in the locker room in order to teach a lesson on "being comfortable/complacent with a good record"?

<b>Will we actually close it out this year, and be able to be comfortable knowing we will be playing in January?</b> or do you think they will fold like they did in 2002?

I know, I know, this is a different coaching staff, players are more disciplined, yadda yadda.. BUT, I CANT HELP BUT SHAKE THE FEELING THAT MY LUCK (actually, <b>our</b> luck, for that matter) cannot possibly this be good.

This seems WAY too good to be true. Someone comfort me, please!
