That’s why I was saying depending on how Sunday unfolds. If the Packers lose we definitely need to be a full go but the way we play on the road I don’t think there’s that much of a difference between 2 and 3 seed this year. If we could get a bye with the 2 seed it would be a different story.

The only way the #1 gets off the table this week is if the Packers win and Seahawks lose. With any other combination, the #1 is still in play until week 17.

The difference between #2 and #3 is twofold and both important. First is that the #3 seed is likely to play the Succs. So, the Saints would have to take them on for a 3rd time. The other is that in the divisional round it'll require a long trip to either LA or Seattle instead of them travelling to the SuperDome presuming that #2 and #3 win the first week.

The Saints should fight for the best seed they can get. And unless it's a Pack win and a Hawks loss this week, with #1 still available, you play everyone next week until the game is our of reach. Then scoreboard watch to see it's the #1 seed or the #2 seed, as a win next week I believe guarantees one or the other no matter what happens in any other game.
