most straightforward path is winning our division. We can win the division by winning out, or losing tonight and getting some help.

If the Saints win tonight we obviously control our own destiny.

If Saints lose tonight AND Bucs win on Sunday we do not control our own destiny.

If Saints lose tonight AND Bucs lose to Jaguars on Sunday we still control our own destiny. Would win the division at 9-8.

Best case scenario is Saints win tonight, Bucs and Falcons lose on Sunday. Then the Saints can win the division next week against the Bucs even if we lose the last game against the falcons.

Why worry about playoffs when you have ZERO chance of winning the SB. It is criminal to have our roster and be in this position when the other teams are down as well.

What's crazy is that Minnesota still has a decent chance of winning their division.


You consider the Vikings winning their final 3 games, 2 of them being against Detroit, a decent chance?

Not really. If both teams lose this week and the Saints beat the Buccaneers, we have to beat the falcons or the Buccaneers would have to lose to the Panthers. If we beat the Buccs and lose to the falcons and the Buccs beat the Panthers, we lose the tiebreakers and Tampa wins the Division.

Atlanta would likely be eliminated by then, which theoretically makes beating them in Dome a 75% proposition. I know they'd "get up" for a rivalry game but Car would be as likely to beat TB as Atlanta beating us

that’s what I said. The saints and Bucs lose this week then the saints win the division at 9-8.

Thats beating the Falcons and Bucs and if Bucs lose this week then best the Falcons or Bucs can do is 8-9.

This is incorrect, we’d need Tampa to lose to either Jax or Carolina and Saints win out.

I get that some people can’t help that they are stupid; but why they want to advertise it is beyond me.

Yes really. Control your own destiny means if you win each game you’re in the playoffs
