We wouldn't need San Fran to lose out, just lose once. We own the head to head tiebreaker. That would put us at 5th them at 6th.

The Saints would then play in Chicago and San Fran/Arizona would play in Philly.

Might be an San Fran/Seattle and NO/Carolina slate for the divisional round.

I hope to God this happens.

Call me a homer, but I think the Saints would have a great chance to win in Carolina. They showed that yesterday, with some shitty weather.

The Saints are going to need Arizona to beat SF next week for that to happen - not giving Atlanta any shot of it tonight. It's a good thing the Saints game got moved to 3:25 pm because had the Saints played at noon and won, then Arizona would be out and would have lost incentive to beat SF. Arizona only gets in if they beat SF and the Saints lose to TB.

This is what I hope happens because it's the only chance the Saints have at this point. I have full faith IF they get to go back to CAR, they will beat them handily actually.

But seriously, how fricking sad that NO isn't the #2 seed unless ATL decides to GAF. Truly a pathetic turnaround when all they had to do was beat STL and home-field it was
