Saints Control Their Own Destiny (1 Viewer)

Saints can for sure make the playoffs if they go 4-0. Anything less and they'll need A LOT of help: https://www.espn.com/nfl/playoffs/m...1547598~2~401547615~1~401547609~2~401547616~1

Only chance 4-0 happens is if (a) we have an interim head coach; just about anybody would do; (b) we have a different play caller; and (c) our O’lineman are authorized to immediately start taking some form of very powerful performance-enhancing drugs. Line up those apples and I can see the possibilities!

Yeah, not saying 4-0 is impossible but after losing 3 out of last 4, it seems far-fetched.

Yeah. I’d think we go 2-2 at best. I just don’t see us winning 4-0 especially when those 4 teams include a team on a winning streak (Giants), the Rams on the road and two teams that have already beaten us.

It feels like the players are the ones driving the bus now. Just a hunch….who knows?! I wouldn’t put it past them to go out and get this thing.

Anything wins this the Saints get will be in spite of Allen.

Dennis Allen has never won 4 games in a row as a coach in the NFL.

Hell, he's only been able to string together a 2 game winning streak 5 times in 6 seasons as an NFL coach.



Edit: He was fired before the Raiders were able to win 2 in a row in the 2014 season. So he has only been able to win multiple games in a row 4 times in his 6 seasons. Never more than 3 in a row. He won 3 in a row once.

This could make for an exciting finish. Love to see it, week by week. As entertaining as I can ask for at this point.

Well we're gonna lose the next 2 so we'd need help even if we beat the Bucs and Falcons.

 

[saintmike23]

The Buccaneers play in Lambeau and then play Jacksonville at home.

The Falcons go to Chicago in December and play a decent Colts team at home.

We play the Giants and Rams on a short week.

And then we play both of those division rivals.

I like our chances the best out of those 3 teams. Overcome DA and we win lol.

 

[jessy]

Yes they do!!!

If we can lose every game they’ll be forced to fire DA and we should have a top 7 draft pic where we can draft the QB of the future.

 

[Gumbo's Dad]

They have always controlled their own destiny the entire season. I have zero faith in their ability or willingness to win out with DA as coach and Carr as qb. This has become a dysfunctional organization. I expect us to maybe win 2 games and we get DA to keep doing what he's been doing for another year. Carr's salary cap number and Loomis almost guarantee it.

 

[26ISTHEMAN]

We have to overcome DA, PC and DC. That's a lot of initials.

I'm afraid they will win enough to box themselves out of drafting one of the top QBs and not make the playoffs at the same time. Come on, we know that's what will happen.

 

[Consigliere]

It is not outlandish to see us beating the Giants, Bucs, and Falcons. They are all bad enough to be coin-flip games.

But to see the NFL letting us beat the Rams in their $4B stadium as an away team on Thursday Night is preposterous.

And if we are 3-4 we will be at the mercy of other teams and tiebreakers - and we know how that usually turns out.
