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.
