Re: Saints need 4/4 for HFA
The Seahawks loss adds another scenario into getting a bye now.
Packers lose either game and we win gives us a bye as the 2 seed Seattle beats 49ers and we win give us a bye as the 2 seed. Both scenarios occurring simultaneously gives us the 1 seed(though both scenarios would have always given us the 1 seed, nothing has really changed in regards to the 1 seed). If Seattle would have beaten Arizona, the only way we could have gotten a bye is if the Packers lost(and we'd got the 1 seed if Seattle beat the 49ers). If Seattle would have beaten the 49ers and Arizona, and the Packers would have won out, the most we could have gotten was the 3 seed. The reason being is Seattle, Green Bay, and NO would have been in a 3 way tie. The only other way, which would have been highly unlikely is if the 49ers and Seattle tied next week. The Arizona victory over Seattle opened a lot of doors for us in terms of getting a bye. |

Re: Saints need 4/4 for HFA
Well the Seahawks aren’t beating the 49ers next week. We have to trust Kirk “0-8 in prime time” Cousins without Dalvin Cook to beat the Packers.

Re: Saints need 4/4 for HFA
Worst case scenario for Niners now
Seahawks coming off embarrassing loss. Winning at home is the difference between wildcard and division title. I can’t see Seattle losing that one |

Re: Saints need 4/4 for HFA
Seattle lost more than just the game today ...
RB Chris Carson, CJ Prosise and OT Dwayne Brown season's are over. I'm all in on "Next Man Up", but those injuries will be difficult to overcome. Home field will be hard to obtain but at this point, I'll "settle" for a 1st round bye every day of the week. Our guys need time to heal up. |

The Super Bowl goes through New Orleans & dome sweet dome ![]() This 2019 Saints team can win anywhere though. They are mentally strong and well coached. |

If both happen we are number 1. I think the vikes win tonight. |

Re: Saints need 4/4 for HFA
I absolutely hate it when other teams have to lose for us to have a better spot in the playoffs. It reminds me of the Saints of old. I'd rather determine my own fate.
