This marks the third time in four years that the Saints will miss the playoffs, as the team’s last taste of the postseason came back in the 2013 season. It’s been a frustrating season, to say the least. At the end of the day, you’re just left with a bunch of shoulda, woulda, and coulda. The reality is that the team’s season will be over after January 3, 2016 when they take on the Atlanta Falcons.
So, what’s left for the black and gold with three games to go? Obviously there’s pride and avoiding an actual losing season, but there are plenty of things to watch over the last few contests.
