What has to happen for the Saints to win the NFC South !

Im not real worried if we get top seed at all. Last year was the first time sense 1993 that 2 #1 seeds met in a Superbowl.

""Home field advantage in the NFL playoffs may not be what it is all cracked up to be. Earning the top seed in your conference and playing two home games to get to the Super Bowl sounds easy enough but before this season it has not happened in both the AFC and NFC in the same year since 1993."""

Super Bowl Number One Seeds - No. 1 Seed Matching Up in Super Bowl

Winning top seed in the NFL might be temping fate, twice. Usually the top seeds do not survive the post season or go on to lose the Superbowl.

I might feel better about our chances of getting our second Lombardi, if we are #1 wildcard at this point instead of top seed.
We can do that with a 11-5 record.

That means if we lose to the Ravens and someone else, we would still remain a wildcard , and funny enough statistically, have a better chance of winning another Superbowl,lol

Only one problems with that thought process:

Wild cards this year will have to go to Chicago, Green Bay, New York, or Philly in the middle of January. I was in attendance at the 2006 NFC championship game in Chicago. It's not something I would ever wish on our team.

3 of the 5 games that the Clowns have left have significant meaning to the opposing team. The other two are division games where sometimes you get bit (witness the Saints and the 2nd TB game last year as an example). All it takes is a couple of inopportune turnovers, or a back to get hot, for a game to go South for a good team. Witness the Saints vs. the Cards just a few weeks ago as an example.

I'm not ready to crown the Clowns as the best team in the NFL. By virtually all rights our current roles should be reversed. Idiot kicker!

	Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
