Scroll to 44:40 for a long bit about the Saints, Sean Payton, etc. Even some talk about the Pelicans. Strange he makes the above comment after starting off the segment with "Saints and Chargers are the two most fun teams that aren't gonna make the playoffs," but he talks himself into it after going through our schedule and Falcons schedule, lol.

Below comments did make me laugh -

"Rams are a historic trap game for us, though."

"Well, you're gonna have the historic Jared Goff on the other line, you'll be fine."

If the Saints win Thursday, I think you'll see a lot more people take that stance.

 

[Gump]

I agree.

If we win the division and make the playoffs then all bets are off. We could be in the Superbowl.

Same here. I do feel like this is a better and different team than the last few years. But it's still incredibly frustrating. I really hope we can piece together a little run and sneak into the playoffs. I feel more confident in that this year than previous years.

"colston went undrafted in 04"

Technically he was not drafted by an NFL team in 2004.

Simmons has been coming around on the Saints since totally writing us off in the preseason.

It helps that he despises the Broncos, so he is one of the few national personalities who is honest about his belief that the Broncos got the benefit of wrong calls to win last week.

"colston went undrafted in 04"

Well technically he wasn't drafted in 04 so he's not wrong

I like this team, they are young, making stupid rookie mistakes, but wow, we are not far away

I agree that winning the division is still a possibility, and making the playoffs is possible as well. I don't see it happening but it can be done. Next year though I fully expect to win the division with an 11-5 or 12-4 record.

If we had beaten Denver, I would have been on board. Now it's going to take a flat out miracle. I still have hope though. Nothing can shake my belief in this team, but they have a huge mountain to climb.

Beating Denver would have been a big help, but losing to them didn't change our situation at all. We're exactly where we were before that game. Still in control of our own destiny. Still a longshot.

If we'd won the game and ATL won their game, nothing would have changed either.

That's the way I'm choosing to look at this. The NFC is filled with mediocrity. We lost very little last week given the Falcon's loss. It's important, however, that we win tomorrow. And it's important that we sweep the Bucs.
