Saints 94% chance of making playoffs; Panthers 48%; Falcons 16% and Bucs < 1%

While I believe we saw the Saints team today that went 6-2 in its first eight games, I have to remind myself that the same Saints team that went 1-3 in its last 4 games before today, is still capable of reappearing before this season ends.

I am not a pessimist, nor an eternal optimist. At this point, I choose to be a realist for the remainder of the season. We're good enough to win all the rest of our games, IF we play sound, turnover free ball. We have yet to prove that we've turned that corner.

I won't allow myself to get into the mind trap like I did with Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cincinatti. It's great to see that we have a 94% chance of getting to the playoffs... Let's just do it, one-game-at-a-time, starting next week with Frisco.
