If we do make the playoffs, would you rather

Getting in the playoffs for starters.
Then it's fair game no matter where we go because none of the NFC teams are particularly dominant. Based on this past weekends performances, Chicago looks more appealing right now.
Falcons-Carolina I think could go either way since it is in Atlanta.

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.

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.

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.

Danno · 12-24-2013, 09:55 AM

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

Its not even a debate, 5th seed.

WHODATINCA · 12-24-2013, 02:59 PM

5th seed, without any question at all.

Rugby Saint II · 12-26-2013, 03:23 PM

5th seed. Better chance of winning and getting on a roll.

#2 seed after upset of the year for carolina happens

I have my doubts as to weather or not we even make the playoffs. I'm not even sure we deserve to be. We won't get passed the first round anyway. If we win one playoff game I will be happy. My expectations have gone down a little since the Seattle game.
