re: I get wanting a higher draft pick, but I’d rather make the playoffs than not.

I agree, which is all the more shame that the team has probably pissed its playoff chances away. I want to beat Atlanta badly next Sunday, but the path to the playoffs requires a lot of help from other teams now even if we find a way to stop their run game and win. If only the Saints would have decided to come out and punch some of the teams they lost to in the mouth in the first quarter like they did against Tampa, instead of waiting to the second half to decide it was time to start trying.
