this ain't a playoff team
Willing to say the talent on this team is much superior than most of the 12% of 0-2 teams that have made the playoffs. No playoffs is certainly the statistical probability but at this point of the season there are only 3 NFC teams with better than 50% chance of making the playoffs. If the dirty birds fall to 1-1 the Saints at 1-2 playoff probabilities will substantially increase.
NFC Playoff probabilty chart
The 2010 Saints at 4-3 losing to Cleveland 17-30 & 20-30 to the Max Hall led Cardinals didn't look a lot brighter to me

I want to believe you...but I'm starting to wonder wonder whether or not our talent is really there or
whether Payton is just the perfect puppet master.
qb-Elite (top 3-4 in NFL no matter what way you slice it)
Rb- excellent scat back in sproles, very good runner in Pierre, 1 power back that hasn't gotten completely into groove, 1 power back that hasn't been activated
wr- 1 usually sure handed possession receiver albeit with limited speed, 1 udfa undersized slot receiver also usually sure handed, 1 injured aging speedstar, 1 undersized special teams ace, 1 speedster who has looked very bad running routes...also an udfa.
te-elite wr talent in graham, undersized guy who knows the system in thomas
tackles-2 system guys who would command modest paydays on the open market. 1 excellent guard in Evans who had a great year last year, subpar one the prior, and excellent year in 09. Another guard who was sought after in FA...came from a great power run blocking system in Baltimore, and a journeymen center who solidified the position after the pure dogshit that was Kreutz.
There is some talent there for sure, but in a vacuum its not like we've got a bunch of blue chippers...and that's our talented part of the team.
Regardless of what happens we're going to need 2 new WRs next year that can create a bit of seperation to add to the mix.
