I want to be the first Super Bowl winner with a losing record at 9-11.

I hear what you're saying, but it is very likely that this team wouldn't do much in the playoffs. This team has severe problems that won't be helped this year. Payton and company will get it right this offseason though.


We thought they got it right this past offseason.

I do but knowing our luck we'll face the Eagles and Sproles will eat us alive. Not happy how the Saints did him and we always let former players have field days against us

I want them to make it but I know it will be a wasted playoff spot. This team has proven over the last 3 home games that they are no good. You have no one in the secondary other than Lewis. The rest of the defense is no better. The offense is shite, Brees is a turn over machine. This team is in trouble. I don't feel confident we can beat anyone right now.

Yes. They have a legit shot at a Super Bowl run. What makes you think we will have a better chance next year when our once in a lifetime quarterback is one year older?

What about this team makes you think they have a legit shot at a run?

The Defense is an abortion at this point, and the offense really has been inconsistent.

The offensive line can not block any longer. At least earlier, they were able to run block, but now that is pretty non-existent as well.

Our defense is getting depleted and dinged up worse.

Rumor is, John Jenkins is still dealing with the pec injury.
Brodrick Bunkley is now on IR.
Hawthorne is dinged up which makes him even worse.
Keenan Lewis is dinged up pretty bad, and he's our only DB worth a damn.
Jairus Byrd is on IR, so is Rafael Bush and Vinnie Sunseri.

We need some miracles to happen if we wanna get far.

Blowing out the Packers. The offense still looking capable, albeit high variance. Still getting pretty good lines by Vegas.

High variance teams are the ones capable of making playoff runs. The Saints can play like a bottom 10 team in the NFL for a 5 game streak and a top 5 team in the NFL for a 5 game streak. If that comes at the right time, they can win the playoffs. Even though a team like the Dolphins might play better on average, they really don't have a whole lot of upward ceiling to beat elite teams when the elite teams play well.

When talking odds of the "field", having high variance is often more important than the actual quality of the teams. Drew Brees limiting his mistakes for 3 weeks in a row is a much higher bet than Carson Palmer or Ryan Tannehil playing elite ball for 3 weeks in a row, IMO.

So while there are probably around 10 teams in the NFL I would take over the Saints right now in an individual game, there are only about 5 or 6 that I would take over the Saints to go all the way to the Super Bowl out of any given seed.

The packers game was a few losses ago and many many injuries ago.

This isn't remotely the same team.

This team is not a good one.

frick. Seattle as a 5-seed would kill us. They have looked dominant the last 2 games.
