Saints still have "slight" chance of wild card berth (1 Viewer)

Of course this is presumed under the notion that the Saints will get some key players back. With the Falcons, 49ers and Vikings losing today there is a chance.

I would hope with the right amount of luck they could climb to #4 in the draft next year. They would not get past the first round of the playoffs. They need a high draft pick to either select a QB or use it in a trade for an experienced QB.

For real.

The only thing a playoff appearance would do is extend the time for the same belly aching posters to continue to rant about this or that.

We may not win another game

Take advantage of the injuries and get a nice draft pick. Or watch the Saints trade away picks to obtain the same player that they can't get at 19th.

Looking at the teams ahead of us and the tie breakers, IF (and it's a big 'if' the way we've played the last 5 games) we win against Jets, Dolphins, Panthers and Falcons and finish at 9-8

-Falcons don't matter, we have the tiebreaker with the division record (3-3 vs 2-4) no matter if they win all their other games
-Panthers need to lose 1 other game (Falcons, Bills, Bucs X 2). Very good chance it happens
-Vikings need to lose 2 games (Steelers, Bears X 2, Rams, Packers). Good chance it happens, I see them losing the rematch vs Packers and probably Rams. They're without Cook and also just lost Thielen to an high ankle injury.

-Eagles need to lose 2 games (WFT X 2, Giants, Cowboys). Okayish chance it happens, all division games
-WFT need to lose 2 games (Cowboys X 2, Eagles X 2, Giants). Good chance it happens, all division games
-49ers need to lose 2 games (Bengals, Falcons, Titans, Texans, Rams). Good chance it happens, only Texans really is a gimme

That's for the last 2 spots so we could still get in if 1 of the above doesn't happen. Winning out (including a sweep of the Bucs) would put us in the wild card almost 100%.

All of this doesn't matter if we keep getting injured and play like we did for the past month but...

Who knows, maybe we start getting some players back and go on a run

Didn't expect WFT to be anywhere near a playoff spot this late in the year.

They play hard and did win the division last year.

That’s a weak take. You fight all out until elimination or you don’t show up to work

I hope we trade all our draft picks to get a RB
