With this roster, do you believe the Saints could make a push for a playoff birth?

With the way the Falcons are playing, I don’t see the Saints catching up with them for the NFC South. But things are certainly looking up.

They’ve won 4 of their last 5 games, and owe a lot of that to genuine growth on both sides of the ball. There is actually a lot of young talent on this roster.

If they can stay relatively healthy, it’s not inconceivable that they make a playoff push. They’re only half a game behind the Redskins for the second wild-card spot, and their best football seems to be ahead of them.
