Speculate: Path to the Super Bowl

I don't like the Giants against the Packers, because even though they pressure well with 4, their starting secondary is basically on the shelf, so they're running with back-up and young guys against that receiving corp? I don't see it. :shrug: Even with a solid front 4, they're not sacking Rodgers enough to slow down that passing attack.

Anyway, I think any path for the Saints is going to be difficult. The playoffs are a different animal, and we may very well be on the road during WC weekend, or if we get that home game to that weekend, the the divisional round.

I'm not ready to concede anything to San Francisco other than the NFC West crown. I am only 95% ready to concede the #1 seed to Green Bay - I am very stubborn. :hihi:

I am still of the belief that when we play well, don't turn the ball over, tackle, score TDs in redzone, etc, then we're nearly unbeatable - at home or on the road. Unlike many fans, I don't hold the Saints past issues against them: their struggles in road playoff games, losing to "lesser" opponents, etc - it's the NFL, and it's hard to win - anywhere. I believe we can win on the road, in a/the Dome, in the heat or in the cold - just have to play well and limit mistakes.

I don't have a prediction right now, outside of us getting into the post-season. I think barring some serious injuries or mental collapse, we're getting in, just don't know where.
