The Saints’ playoff chances this year? Let’s call it what it is: slim.

• At 2-8 and sitting in 4th place in the NFC South, the margin for error is next to nonexistent.
• Oddsmakers currently put their odds at around 1.2% for making the postseason.
• That’s not just a bad year — that’s basically a rebuild in progress year.
• If the Saints do make a run: it’ll require a long-shot rally, a bunch of opponents losing unexpectedly, AND a major step forward from young players like Tyler Shough (under center) and others stepping up.
• Realistically? The smart target for now is development, not playoff seeding.

So yeah — playoff talk is technically alive, but business-as-usual says this year’s more about laying groundwork than chasing wins.
