The Saints play two defending Super Bowl participant teams over a 5 day span.

2-0 - Saints are a playoff team without a doubt.
1-1 - No reason to lose hope. We are in the same position two weeks from now as we are today with a little more positive outlook with a softer schedule ahead.
0-2 - Time to hang it up. At the end of the season, the 2016 Saints are no different from the 2014 and 2015 teams.

If we win this weekend, I think odds increase to 50-50 that we are a playoff team at the end of the year. What say you?

Next two weeks will decide a lot.


First and foremost we need to go 2-0 in the next 9 days.


Second, we need to have some luck with Vaccaro's predicament. Hopefully the league fricked up and the suspension is null and void. Or, at the very least, it can be delayed until next season by Vaccaro appealing it.

Or possibly get it reduced to 2-3 games.

Worst case is that we get him back for the Cards game. If that's the case then we would just need to hope and pray to go 2-2 during that stretch without him.

If we win the next two we'll be 6-4
Lose next two and I'm betting it'll make us a 4-6 team

i'd be cool with a 1-1 split over the next two games tbh.

2-0= goes without saying

0-2= depends on how we lose. A blowout loss would obviously be a bad sign but I don't see that happening. The time of possession has been working well lately. But a loss is still a fricking loss and losing sucks so no lets hope 0-2 doesn't happen.

Neither of these teams look like the teams that made it to the Superbowl a year ago.

I fully expect a win this Sunday.

I then expect a war on Thursday.

I don't think 2-0 guarantees a playoff game at all. We just started too far in the hole for that to be true.

Other than that, I agree with you.

IMO, it's beat Denver or bust. Can't fall below .500 again.

Sunday is a must win.
