Welp.... What are the chances we win a playoff game?

I think it's going to be tough.  Unlike what others have said though, about how they've been calling it all season...I believe we were doomed when Byrd went down.  We have 0 speed on offense now.  That said...we would have won yesterday if good cam showed up....and I do think it will be tough for NO to beat us 3 times in the same season.

Yeah Byrd getting hurt was the football gods taking a big sht on us. He gets injured for the season in his biggest game of the season.

I just don’t see how we can compete right now. The defense will play hard that I know but offensively it’s been the same story all year.

The Saints are just better than we are right now.  We can win but it would be a major upset.  The good news is I think we can beat the 1,2 seeds but not New Orleans.  Just not seeing us beating them.

Realistically we need 30 pts at least and not seeing that happening.  Yesterday was attroius.

I was actually hoping to play the Rams, based on the chance that their youth & inexperience catches up with them. The Saints have our number this year. 

And while people will say it's tough to beat a team 3 times in a season, it happens more often than not.

To win not only does the Offense have to play good again with our horrendous receiving core...but on Defense Wilks needs to gamble with his scheme.  i.e. don't play off and give the saints 50 yards before tightening up and trying to force a field goal.  How about some 3 and outs and good Field position for once for our horrible offense.

We need to use CMC as our speed/downfield threat at this point to have a chance.

In the history of my sports fandom I have never had less confidence in a team of mine winning a postseason game.  This franchise has sucked all joy out of watching them the last two seasons, even when they win eleven games.  They are worse than bad, they are boring.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
