We will (probably) know within the next 7 weeks

It doesn't matter that our defense is in theory top 5, if our offense cannot consistently score.
Our defense will degrade if you keep giving the other team opportunities.

Look, I will always cheer for the Saints but let's not kid ourselves. We can of course make the playoffs being in the league's worst division, but we are not built to make a run.

The Saints are not a top 5-10 football club anytime soon. It's the coaching.

I love watching the Saints, but I can see what the league's top teams are doing. And we have not demonstrated it ANY WEEK this year or last year.

There’s no doubt that the Saints must get better from a purely scoring standpoint. No doubt this is why many Saints fans are excited to see us roll up some impressive offensive stats the last 6 quarters.

Obviously what we saw yesterday must continue to improve as the season progresses to even consider this to be a positive trend. However, if the Saints DO show steady improvement on offense and handily win these upcoming games, it will be hard not to think that the staff and the players are turning the corner offensively and making it possible to contend with the better teams in the conference.

Let’s face it… we’ve already seen some pretty big upsets around the league this year. Crazy things can happen when all of our ‘weapons’ come to play with their season on the line. Who knows, by then Carr may have even learned a few things about how to make this offense rock!

It’s not likely, but it’s not impossible either! :cheer:
