Flash back to the tail-end of the 2019 season and the playoff picture would be unrecognizable. The Saints walked off the field in Week 17 that year with a 13-3 record ... and the No. 3 seed in the playoffs.
In 2022, 8-9 might be enough to guarantee any of the Falcons, Bucs, Panthers or Saints an NFC South title and the No. 4 seed in the postseason bracket. That'd even include a home game!
But how realistic are those chances, and should the Saints hedge anything else to take advantage of them. Jeff Nowak and Steve Geller dive into the mailbag on the latest episode of Inside Black & Gold to try to answer some of the hottest questions surrounding this Saints 2022 season that simply refuses to die.
