Our odds to make the playoffs went from 0.0% to 0.4% with todays win if we round up. Our implied probability 100 divided (25,000 + 100) = 100 divided by 25,100 = .398% (rounded it up to .4%. We jumped 4 tenths of one percent of making the playoffs with this enormous win today.

In other words 1 in 250 chances the Saints will make the Playoffs and those are odds I can live with the way this Saints squad is playing.

Don’t matter. Shough gives people a reason to hope for the future.

Rattler screwed us this year. Shough would have dramatically increased our playoff percentage odds.

We aren’t making the playoffs but we’re competing for games and Shough is giving us life.


I feel much more optimistic than I did watching the shite show last year.

Apparently somebody's algorithm needs some review or debugging.

ESPN had us mathematically eliminated last week, even if we divide by zero, use imaginary numbers, or whatever other glitchy thing that was.

What’s more important to you? Getting a higher pick, knowing that our roster needs upgrades in a major way, or better play down the stretch knowing that roster change will happen no matter what? I for one, enjoy watching this team seeing potential. So for me, I want to win, even though it means a lower draft pick. Good win today.

There was a decent contingent here saying this would happen before the season started.

We are eliminated.

Only path prior to last week was winning the division at 8-9

They still have .4 of 1% chance of making the playoffs so we are not officially eliminated yet. We still have a chance even Archie Manning said there is still hope this afternoon.

Shough might not have been ready for prime time yet.
