First thing you did was jump in here and direct your anger at other Saints fans, just like a Panthers or Falcons fans would do.

No need and ***** at us when we have no outcome on the game. You sound just like a rival fan with the whining...

The first thing I did was jump on fans who don't understand common sense. That does not apply to all. I have given the reason behind my irratation many times.

Great way to differentiate...

And two losses to AFC teams is better than two losses to NFC teams in the rankings, seems like pretty good common sense to me.

What exactly did you think I was trying to differentiate? That statement above was quite clear.

And rankings, really? Rankings? This isn't college football. Records matter here. The record says we are behind the seahawks. Will we catch them? I hope so. Right now I'm more concerned with the 49ers, but regardless of who our main competition is, we will not gain home field if we don't play better on the road.

And if you didn't understand what I was trying to say then you are the fan who doesn't have common sense.

Ok mitch, humor me. What do you mean? The only rankings I'm aware of in the NFL are Power Rankings, which are completely subjective polls written by people who's opinions have no bearing on the standings.

We've lost to two AFC teams and the 'hawks have lost to one, which equals 2 losses to 1. If we end in a tie with some team and have a better NFC record than them, then it's ok. But with losses like these, it's not likely we'll see a tie.

Rankings = Standings in this case, quite easy to figure out

What if they lose to the Bucs today? 21-7 at the half? Too much football left to be getting pissed, especially when you can't change any of it

He's talking about NFC conference wins and losses. What "rank" or win-loss in division and conference on the path to the playoffs. Losing out of conference games are nominal compared to intra-conference games, in general. We've also won intra-division games.

Our 2 losses have come to out of conference AFC teams, which you'd rather do than lose to teams in the NFC.

If you lose conference games and division games early, you're constantly playing catchup trying to get back in line for the playoff hunt. How you finish in your conference deems where you fall in the playoffs. So it is a ranking per se. It's definitely a math equation and we're still doing fine in line to the playoffs, and we have the ability to correct problems and still have shot at home field advantage in the playoffs. So much football left to play, so much will happen between now and then.
