Ok… Maybe, just maybe it could go down like this:

The only way I see the Saints having a chance of making the playoffs, 3 things need to happen…

1. Saints must run the table:

Our remaining schedule is as follows…

@Giants
Buccaneers
@Cowboys
Panthers

I think it’s a major plus having both remaining divisional opponents at home and we have fared well in Dallas’s new stadium last time we were there. Outside in New York against a reeling desperate Giants team could very well be our toughest task left. While it will be tough, 9-7 is not impossible for this club looking at the layout.

2 & 3. The Seahawks & Redskins must each loose 2 more games:

Seahawks remaining schedule…

Cardinals - Divisional opponent who has beaten them once this year could be another close one.

@Bills - Streaky team outside in the cold at home could play spoiler for us.

49ers – Niners will be fighting for playoff seeding still, likely loss here for the Hawks.

Rams - Tough up and coming divisional opponent playing for pride and has proven to be a dangerous team.

Looking at this schedule it’s not hard to imagine the Hawks dropping a couple. I think the 49ers win in week 16 but Saints would need one of the others to come through… How’s that Hail Mary game winning INT against Green Bay looking now?

Redskins remaining schedule…

Ravens – Tough matchup but Ravens are fighting for playoff position and I think they take this one.

@Browns – I’d say Skins here but you never know what Browns team may show up and there in Cleveland.

@Eagles – This is a given for RG3, the Eagles are a mess right now but they might send Andy out on a high note.

Cowboys – I think we’d be rooting for the Boys but they seem like they have the type of players that will pack it in after being eliminated.

Honestly I feel their better chance of the Hawks going 9-7 than the Redskins going 8-8 but sadly we lost to RG3 and we need both to happen.

^ If those suspensions hold up for Seattle's top two CBs, that would be a HUGE blow to their D and could result in an extra loss. I think their hearings are next week
