What is most satisfying?

blackangold · 12-16-2013, 07:45 PM

I would be more thrilled if we ended up as the 5th or 6th seed and had to travel every week in the playoffs only to end up winning the Superbowl. Winning 3 road games in the playoffs would be more satisfying than getting the #2 seed.

Sometimes overcoming the most challenging odds and obtaining your goal is more rewarding then accomplishing the same task using the 'easier method'.

So here is to us going on the road for the playoffs and winning it all!

Anything is possible.

If we do end up not winning the division we need the 6th seed so we don't have to play against Seattle unless it's the championship game.

That could happen. All we'd have to do is lose to the Panthers.

But, no, I want to see the towel head bowed low. Me want.

Wouldn't the 6th seed, upon winning the wild card round, be the lowest seed, and therefore would compete against the highest seed in the divisional round, which would be the Seahawks? The winner of the #5 seed vs. #4 would play against the #2. Because the highest seed plays against lowest seed. Correct?

Unless you are saying that the Saints at #6 could never even survive to play against Seattle, which is also possible.

Using the Yahoo Playoff Scenario Generator-- It looks like this to me:

Yes, you are correct. I had to write this out to get it in my head.

If Carolina wins on Sunday

They are the 2 seed and we are the 6 seed.

The 6th seed plays either the Bears, Eagles or the Lions in the Wild Card Round.

If we are the 6th seed and win in the Wild Card Round we will play Seattle in the Divisional Round.

If we win again, in the Divisional Round .... AND, if Seattle wins against either SF, Lions or Dallas ( LOL ), then we have the privilege of meeting them again at C-Link.

If we win on Sunday

We are the 2 seed and they are the 6th seed, which would mean the same scenario as above for Carolina.

The 2 seed plays the highest seed coming out of the Wild Card Round.

The only way for us to get the one seed now is if we win Sunday and SEA loses to the Cards AND the Rams. Which is not without possibility -- but -- yeah.

If Carolina wins Sunday and loses the following week, and we beat the Bucs... We are still the number 2 seed.

Why would you wish for something we haven't accomplished well enough all year?

BS... Winning at home in front of your fans is more satisfying.

Especially when you already paid $1200 for playoff tickets.

SaintsBro · 12-17-2013, 08:16 AM

The Saints are completely unstoppable in the Dome, I am not sure why anybody would wish for anything any different than that. Packers fans, I could actually see the logic of wanting to watch it at home on the TV instead of sitting there in -13 degree wind chill for four hours getting frostbite.
