The 1978 Saints also had a decent shot at the playoffs, but lost two games to Atlanta in the last minute, and were beaten by the Steelers on a late Bradshaw to Bleier TD pass. That close to 10-6 and the first playoff game in the dome.
Forget Pittsburgh- if they win both Atlanta games (which were literally more winnable as they came down to basically 3 plays combined), the Saints would have still gotten into the playoffs vs Philly

Right, although playing the Steelers tough that year in Three Rivers was very impressive.
