What would a Saints playoff berth mean

If this team gets into the playoffs, bypass the 5 years for Payton to get in the HoF.

I still think its unlikely, but this team has no business even being in the playoff conversation at this point. Every week he is having to fight and claw to find ways to use what he has on hand to stay competitive. An offensive minded coach, with virtually no offense and still making the playoffs would be the most impressive year on his resume, including the SB season.
