we should have never been in seattle

Our crappy play today and seemingly total unpreparedness was maddening at times but why the help should a 11-5 team have to travel across the country to a 7-9 team. This was a huge advantage for them that honestly I underestimated. There needs to be a seeing change bases on record. That's that. God I cannot get over this loss.

Shoulda won your division.
But you're right, winning the division should guarantee a playoff spot, but the seeding can be fixed.

Nothing needs to change. One of the perks of winning the division is hosting a game. The Saints should have won the division, then we would have the bye and a home game. We didnt, so we traveled. I hate when everyone wants to change the rules because of one odd year. Just like how the OT rule changes after the NFCCG last year. bullshite.

I agree, we will be on the receiving end one day. I like how the NFL is set up. It would be boring if it was just a matter of picking the teams with the best 12 records.

The system is a joke no doubt. It's not the first time it's happened either. 12-4 Indy played at 8-8 SD in 2008.

I have hated this rule even when the Saints couldn't sniff .500. The best teams should be in the playoffs, & the best records should host home games. I (sort of) buy the argument that a division winner should make the playoffs (still think there should be a caveat where a division winner MUST have a winning record), but there should be no way in he'll a 11-5 team should EVER have to travel to a 7-9 team. I was against it when 11-5/12-4 Indy had to travel to 8-8 SD 2/3 years ago.

They won their division. The saints did not. The records don't mean shite. Sorry.
Oh and we couldnt beat them....

Which is a joke. When the NFL had 3 divisions per conference this shite wouldn't have happened.

This rule isn't the reason for the Saints loss. The defense is!

No excuses. The Saints had their asses handed to them today.
