Humor Saints can still win the division (no, really) (2 Viewers)

Why do some of y'all want to make the playoffs so bad with a team like this?

Why do you hate making the playoffs? I don't care what our record is, anything can happen in the playoffs.

The most unlikely outcome in that scenario is the saints winning against green bay. Even more so than the Giants beating ATL.

Dude, it's Atlanta. The Giants can beat them. We had our OL healthy and their DL took it to us. Atlanta is very beatable.

I held out hope longer than most, but we need to lose. BTW it’s a broken system, there ought to be something to play for once a team is eliminated. Kinda sucks for teams to have no reason not to yank.

No, there should never be a consolation prize. That's for losers and losers don't deserve a thing.

That’s the thing. Currently the worst loser IS rewarded with the best pic. The bottom four or six or eight should be playing for draft order.

I thought you meant in a different way.

I really don't miss pathetically running through the playoff calculator every December like I used to.

Because I want to be the first team in history to win the Superbowl with a losing record while starting a rookie 5th round QB.

I saw and I fell down laughing but it's true...

Your right all we need is Michael J Fox and a DeLorean.

This is the longest drought since the Haslett years.

The Saints play in a terrible division and the NFL practically allows everyone in the playoffs now. It's about a 45 percent chance every year now. So to go 4 years without an appearance is amazing in a bad way.

Why don't you? Better draft position is a valid excuse. Tanking just sets a loser culture and will make it harder to get sign free agents and coaches.

I agree on tanking. I hate it. I just don't see a point overachieving in getting clobbered in the first round of the playoffs this year. Would I be happy? Sure, but there's no business in the Saints seeing the playoffs this season.

It's not that I hate making the playoffs itself. I never do. it's that within this team full of injuries with an interim coach, I just don't see the point this season. Do you think we got the guts to slay the Lions?

Good point there!

Well, me too! Eat your heart out, Nick Foles!

Guts? Yes. Are we healthy enough? Most likely not. But again, anything can happen in the playoffs. Goff and Gibbs could both get injured in the first quarter.
