Can we still make the playoffs?

Serious question?

Yes.
Will we? No

Yes, until we are mathematically eliminated.
Saints aren't going to the playoffs.

Would have to win out, I still don't think 10-6 will get us in. Not likely we get in, hopefully we do though.

This team is a carbon copy of 2007, 2008, 2012, and 2014.
They'll win, lose the following week, win, lose the following week, win, lose the following week, win, lose the following week, on and on and on...
Somehow this has become a staple in the Payton era where these teams cannot handle having a win over .500
The very definition of 8-8

It's still possible, but it's going to be a difficult task. Unless they go into a big slump, Carolina is well on their way to winning the NFC South. The Falcons are two games ahead of the Saints right now, leaving the Saints third in the division. It is very rare for three playoff teams to come from one division, so the Saints will most likely have to pass up the Falcons in the division to have a chance at the playoffs. Tie-breaker scenarios that could come back to bite the Saints are the losses to Philly and Arizona, if neither of those teams win their divisions, they could be prime wild card contenders.
The hard truth is that unless the Saints find a way to play consistent defense, they are not even going to come close to the playoffs. The offense has steadily improved, they're not perfect by any means, but the offense seems to have found the spark that it was missing early in the season. The Saints can't win a shoot-out game every week, those types of games are toss ups. They were fortunate to beat the Giants, but it's hard to have that same good fortune multiple weeks in a row.
They have a tough matchup against Washington next week. The Redskins aren't a great team, but something tells me that it will be a hard fought game between two desperate teams. If the Saints can win and be 5-5 heading into their bye week, I think it will renew their playoff chances a good bit, but they really can only afford to lose one more game.

If Rob Ryan gets fired we may have a chance. Other than that, nope.

Atlanta is collapsing in these last several weeks. If they lose two to Carolina and we beat them, that leaves the Saints room for one loss.
The Vikings or Green Bay will likely get the other wild card, unless Philly and New York both keep up with one another. Seattle/St. Louis are the other issues here too.

Didn't just about all the non-div leaders in the NFC lose yesterday with the exception of the Eagles?
It almost has the same feel as the division race last year.

our season was and has been fricked since we started in such a large hole to begin the year.....
get ready for another 6-10, 7-9 year, with a mid to late first round pick that won't end up being an impact player for us next year.... same shite, different year....

Will have to win out.

Are we watching the NFC? 10-6 will definitely be enough provided we beat Atlanta & Philly wins their division.
Tough road to 10-6 for us though and idk that 9-7 does it

One game at a time.
Hopefully Peat is back against the Skins. Same with Ellerbe and/or Kikaha because we need all hands on deck
My 10-6 prediction was provided we beat all of these creampuffs we should be beating, like Tennessee. I like to be generous and positive but I'm really not sure where we're at at this point, on a Monday.

Jesus....we just lost to tennafrickingsee. I want the best pick we can get now.

Sure, 11-5 would be plenty good enough.
We won't get there, though

Really?? We just lost at home to the worst team in the league (well maybe Detroit is worse) and you are talking about playoffs? Not going to happen and frankly we don't deserve it anyway. Just being realistic...
