Saints Playoff Hopes Rest In ‘Best of Three’ Series

NEW ORLEANS -With three games remaining in the regular season, the Saints are back on track. I mentioned not too long ago that there were a lot of similarities between current New Orleans team and the 2021 group.

Similar to that team, they had a record of 5-7 and had managed to pull even at the time through significant road victories, but they were unable to complete the task. Dennis Allen’s club has everything in front of them this season.

The Saints have two road games left, starting with a big one against the Rams in a short week. After that, they get a mini-bye before playing the Bucs and Falcons, their final two divisional opponents.

Considering…

NFC WILD CARD BUBBLE – FINAL THREE-GAME SLATE Bucs (7-7): Jaguars, Saints, at Panthers Vikings (7-7): Lions, Packers, at Lions Rams (7-7): Saints, at Giants, at 49ers Saints (7-7): at Rams, at Bucs, Falcons Seahawks (6-7): at Titans, Steelers, at Cardinals (play Eagles on MNF) Falcons (6-8): Colts, at Bears, at Saints Packers (6-8): at Panthers, at Vikings, Bears New Orleans just pieced together one of their most complete performances of the season after beating the Giants 24-6, and the locker room is feeling it. No matter how hard and tough things have gone for the Saints, they’ve stayed together and have blocked a ton of the outside noise.

nd test of the year. It’s one that completely brings everyone under a microscope and could dictate futures. The Saints are tied for the NFC South lead with the Bucs at 7-7, but Tampa holds the tiebreaker right now and would be the fourth seed if the playoffs started today.

In fact, New Orleans held the final conference playoff place before the afternoon schedule of games ended. But a victory by the Rams sent them back to seventh. That Los Angeles game suddenly becomes much more significant.

Monday is the players’ day off, so everyone’s goal is to recover physically and turn their attention to Thursday’s game against the Rams. When addressing the team in the locker room following the victory, Demario Davis, who had a fantastic game and was one of the many guys who stood up in a major manner on Sunday, said it all.

“Everything is about Thursday,” Davis stated. Because on Thursday, if we don’t take care of business, it will all be for nothing.” The Saints’ best option at this point is to win the remaining games in order to avoid leaving things up to chance or uncontrollable circumstances, but given how other schedules are shaping up, there’s a decent chance that they can win at least two of the next three and see New Orleans in the postseason. When they play the Rams, we’ll find out how prepared they are.
