Saints #2 Seed in NFC? or not.....

Remember this is how we got left out of the playoffs in 2004 when there was a three way tie between the Saints, Vikings, and Rams. The Vikings and Rams got in even though we beat the Rams. Had the Vikings played the Rams we would have gotten in but because they didn't it went by conference records and we missed the playoffs. That's why if you're going to lose games you want it to be games against the AFC.

That's right. It was a 3 way tie between us, StL and Minn, all at 8-8. StL got in first, because they had the best conference record of the 3 teams. That left us and Minn, and Minn got in because they had beaten us head to head.
