Re: If we do make the playoffs, would you rather

5th seed, Seattle will be hell no matter when we play 'em so may as well play there to go to the SB. Hopefully the choke/pressure would be more prevalent at the end.

Beat Tampa and go from there.

@mardigras9 you keep saying that no one in the nfc is dominant and i feel your sentiment however, the saints have been looking and performing like a 1-15 team then a team that should only have 1 or 2 losses under their belt but guess what they made the rams i repeat the rams look like we're playing them in seattle with a record breaking crowd and they successfully held us to 3 points for pretty much the entire game! The issues the saints are experiencing isnt something you want to take on the road in the playoffs you want to be playing like the arizona cardinals going into the playoffs! not like the tampa bay bucs! imjs

Seattle is dominant at home record wise, but they played, hands down, their best game of the year against us (Arizona just showed they are beatable with the mediocre Palmer offense). The Rams have matched up well against us for the last few years and had probably their best performance against us. Most of our road losses have involved some real bad luck. I just don't think this trend will continue and if the Saints can just get this whole "road" issue off their backs with one good showing on the road, I think they can make run at the right time. The Saints have their issues on both sides of the ball, and some are significant, but so does every other team in the NFC. I just like our chances in every scenario I can think of if the saints play smart football. IMO.

5th seed still gives us a realistic chance to host the NFCCG in New Orleans

Its not even a debate, 5th seed.

LOL... my guess is that Arthur Blank gives him one more year to get it together.

Did you see Blank on the sidelines fuming? Probably counting the season ticket holders that won't renew. Lol.

Re: If we do make the playoffs, would you rather

5th seed, without any question at all.

Really enjoying your optimism, MG. I agree with almost everything here except the part about Seattle having issues on both sides of the ball. They have some issues on offense. Their defense is scary.

I agree. Their problem this year wasn't coaching.

It was entering the season with huge holes on the O-line, secondary, and pass rush.

I hate to say this but they're about 3 solid additions from being a 10+ win team again. OT, OLB/DE, and DB.

If Blank is furious its with their GM, that Tommy Smirnoff dude.:p
