Do you not remember the 2003 Saints season with that John Carney missed extra point that cost us the playoffs after the ESPY winning special teams TD on the last play of the game.
John Carney did NOT cost us a playoff spot. Go back and look at the 2003 regular season standings. Dallas and Seattle were the 2 wild cards, and both had 10-6 records. The absolute best that the Saints could have finished if they'd won the Jax game was 9-7. Do the math.
