I also agree, we need home field in the playoffs. Traveling to SF or Seattle won’t go over well.

I think this 2019 team is built differently though. A good run game (if we ever un leash LM) & solid defense travels.

I'm just a couch GM but this team is good enough to win ugly, pretty, barely and also in dominant fashion. That "perfect" game is coming. It could happen on Sunday.

Jimmy Garropolo isn't prime time yet.

Our best game comes Sunday. I FEEL it!!!!

This is a very good Saints team. We win despite tons of penalties and numerous mental lapses by our players game in game out. This team would be near unstoppable if we clean things up. Kinda getting tired of hearing coach Payton after every game talking about cleaning things up.
Get it done already.

I have faith in Wilson. He's playing extremely smart football right now. I also like our 49er game. Look what happened to the 49ers when they face a stout run D. They can barely function.

Obviously easier at home, but we are 5-1 on the road. Next week really determines everything; even with SF's tough schedule we cannot lose next week and be two games behind with three to play if we expect to be #1

If we lose, we would be a game back of Seattle (if they beat LAR in LA) and SF. Tied with GB. Now we would be the 3 seed if that happened.

SF is our toughest test. We get out of that, we should be good to go with Carolina having nothing but pride to play for. I may be fine with losing to Indy or Tennessee over SF and Carolina. Is Seattle likely to win out? Is GB likely to win in Minnesota?

All good points and scenarios but ...

The NFL is a week to week league.

The Saints seemed to let go of the throttle when Drew came back
or maybe it was teams scheming better.

There was a sense of urgency when Teddy was running the ship - we needed to win

10 mins until we are in the lead for HFA...
