Am I crazy to think the Saints can make the playoffs?

Atlanta won't make the playoffs. They haven't played good football since September

That would be a pretty epic collapse. I do not agree with you.

Minnesota, St Louis, Seattle, Atlanta, and New Orleans

Pick 2

I'll take Atlanta and Minnesota. Easily. Sorry, Saints.

I'll be the homer I am and take the Saints and Seahawks

The Saints and Seahawks will have to go 6-2 and pray. I'm just not seeing it.

They should be 7-4 with the Panthers coming to down but I'm almost sure they drop one of those road games to Houston or Washington and will be 6-5 instead..........BUT if they do win all 3 of those games, there is no excuse why they should not finish the season at 10-6 AT LEAST.

Only the Colts and Giants are bad on defense. Atlanta and Dallas are in the top half of the league............If Atlanta is a shit defense that means about 26 of the 32 teams in the league have a shit defense.

And what does shit defense have to do with the Saints defense before today playing much better and forcing several turnovers in the previous 3 games?

Atlanta has one of the worst passing defenses but one of the best run defenses. I wouldn't say they're anything special especially when the good teams have good passing games.

I'm a Vikes fan and I have a tough time thinking they are going to make the playoffs this year even with this 5-2 record.

Their offense is just so poor. They've played their cream puffs in KC, Chicago and Detroit the last 3 weeks. The schedule gets tougher from here on out and I think the lack of O starts to catch up with them.

Their defense is solid but I'm not sure it is enough to carry the team especially with the schedule coming up chalk full of teams that can run the football (by far the defenses biggest weakness).

Long and short is that the OL and Teddy B have to start playing dramatically better than they have or else this team is going to go 2-6 down the stretch.

I still don't think the Bengals will make the playoffs, either.
