Next week is essentially a playoff game

This all brings me back to my youth. Just hoping for a year where the Saints were not mathematically eliminated and you would spend time dissecting the teams close to you in standings and upcoming schedules and figuring out any way to get in. Don't forget how we used to long for this. :)

IMO, every team at 6-7 and SF at 7-6 has a tougher finishing schedule than us except for Philly. As bad as we seem to be right now, none of the other current 6-7 teams are any better.

I think if everything goes great, based on Saint's current healthy roster, at best Saints go 3-1. If we somehow beat TB, you know the Saints always seem to have a letdown game.

The problem is currently we have 4 teams tied with us but in front because of tiebreakers for the last spot.

I assume Saints would have the tiebreaker over Atlanta if we beat them next time? We beat WAS head to head so I am sure there would be a scenario that tiebreaker could go in our favor? (More than 2-way tiebreakers are always tricky.) We probably for sure need Philly to have more losses than us because of head-to-head loss.

All I am saying, there is a chance!
