Now a respected commentator on the state of the NFL, Mora sipped his latte as he repeated the same thing he has told his television audience. The Saints dug a deep hole, losing their first four games, and it will be tough to dig out. "Now, understand, when people ask me who my favorite team is, I always say the Saints," Mora said from his home in Palm Desert, California. "But I don't believe they will make the playoffs." Mora cited a difficult schedule ahead, which includes road games against the New York Giants, Dallas and the revenge-bent Atlanta Falcons. In addition, they play the 49ers, now 6-2-1, and the improving 5-4 Bucs at home. With other games at Oakland and home against Carolina, Mora can't find five wins in those seven games.


quote:

"We went 8-8 and made the playoffs in 1990, but it depends on the other teams," Mora said. "The Saints won't catch Atlanta and will have to go in as a wild card. It will be difficult enough for them to go 9-7, and that might not be enough."


Jim Mora Interview

Not that it matters what he thinks. I think we can go 9-7 but I agree that 9-7 will not win a wildcard this year. There could be the possibility of going 10-6 and missing the playoffs (I believe that happen to the bucks in 2010)


I searched but didn't see this posted. Sorry if German.

Seattle will be the 6 seed. Runner up in the North will be the 5. 2 north teams and 2 west teams. At least we will have momentum going into next season.

So Mora is saying that a 4-5 team who is in a four way tie for the ninth worst record in the NFC with the worst total yardage defense, 4th worst scoring defense and tied for the 4th worst scoring defense per game is not going to the playoffs???

He really has lost his mind hasn't he. Don't get too far out on that limb Mora!

Mora is right


Saints can win six of seven, that's not the issue


it's everyone in front of them needing to fall flat on their faces


still a long haul to go

Maybe not, but I heard from a reliable source that Atlanta will go 8-8...

I don't disagree with coach, but I am taking it a game at a time. 0-4 start is almost = 0-40 start in a baseball year.:(
