Any time a team has to depend on another team losing to win a division or make the playoffs, you know they are in deep trouble and failed to take care of their own business. That describes the Saint's season with one game left to play. The larger problem for the NFL is no team in the Saint's division deserves a chance to play in the playoffs with their horrible records.
The best Tampa Bay can finish is 9-8, a poor won-lost record and not suited to be given a second chance. But money, not competition rule in the NFL. As for the Saint's season, it was a wait and see season from the very beginning for reasons expressed in earlier Politidose commentary before the season even started. New Orleans sports writers never saw it coming in their preseason predictions. And after all the talk about the Saint's good defensive play they still lack consistent good defensive play.
And when the regular season ends next week, the NFL will continue it's low ratio of teams with a winning record and the Saints will not be one of them.
