SF loss clinches home field, but...

[hoosier]

If the Saints are on that much of a roll they will roll through San Fran regardless of where they play, and then the Packers are destined to meet them in the CG, so it doesn't matter what SF does against Pitts and Sea. My hunch is that in a wet, chilly or icy cold environment, New Orleans will not be nearly as efficient as they've been indoors and in warm weather. Remember that the first game of the year was played in almost ideal conditions.

I was at the first Packer Saints game
NO could have easily won that game; I think they had a turnover that saved us

No way I want to see them again anywhere. They are on a roll

I agree totally & utterly agree; Saints will beat the current Packers team - anywhere! If Packers avoid the Saints then I believe in a SB birth and then maybe, but just maybe, a SB win.

In that scenario, I'm guessing that the 49ers have the tiebreaker. NO isn't going to lose anymore games in the reg season. They play Atlanta and Carolina at home in the superdome. Both wins imo.

And the Packers played Kansas City. Would you have guessed last week they'd have lost? You have to wait until they play the games.

I second that Falcons has a chance to win in NO.

Lights are out again in San Fran...this is getting pathetic!

Who cares? We will crush them all. Like bugs.

There is only one Marshmellow starting at LT

Saints are pretty invinsible at home but often not nearly as good on the road
Niners D can put some pain on the Saints and at home even better.

I'd MUCh rather play the Niners but at worst I want to see the Saints struggle through SF with pain

Fuuuuuuuuhhhhhuuuuuck That . Bring them on.

See post #16. Weather will be much different.

Agree. It's a division game and the Dirties are going to put up a scrap.

The downside is that if NO makes it through, they've got a tune-up game outdoors. It's not Lambeau weather, but it would serve to acclimate the Saints to an outdoor game better than a dome would.

He didn't start at LT. We weren't exactly lighting up the Chiefs before he came in.

Packers have been iffy on the road. NO has a huge advantage playing in the dome. Just calling it as I see it.

OTOH, if the Saints are 3, they might have to play the Lions and then the Niners to get to GB. That would be a pretty tough row to hoe.

2 of Hali's sacks came on the last TD drive by Green Bay, so they might have come at a price.
