Disagree. A good amount?? Don't make me fricking laugh. The Vikings lost to the Panthers by double digits that year when a win would have served them well. The Saints lost to them (Panthers) too in the last regualr season game but they clearly weren't trying to win that game(especially in the 2nd half). Then the Vikings lost to the Bears on Monday Night Football and that game sealed the seeding in the playoffs that year.

Minnesota did beat the frick out of the Giants in the playoffs that year but we had beat their arse too. When Minnesota destroyed Dallas I did take notice and yeah I knew the matchup they presented wasn't that favorable but jesus christ.. to say they were the best by a good margin is totally moronic and unwarranted.

The Saints played hell of a game.

All of this yet the Giants have two Superbowls as a 9-7, wildcard team. One beating Favre in GB then beating the 18-0 Pats then beating the 9ers (who beat you guys member that?) and then beating the Patriots.

All of those H2H games you mentioned mean next to nothing (other than seeding) come playoffs. The transitive property of football is a farce. Ask LSU fans how much their win over Bama in regular season helped them beat Bama in the title game...
