I stopped caring about a good seed after the last four seasons of bumbling through the playoffs despite having the Saints being seeded 4, 1, 3, 2, in order from 2017-20. If you can only muster 3 playoff wins in four years despite your average seed being 2.5 in the NFC, then no seeding is gonna save you. You need moxie and the ability to shake off big game jitters.
It's absurd that in 14 years of having Payton/Brees together that we only managed to win two games in a single postseason once. And yeah, 2018 shoulda been at least two wins without the ref forkover but the refs don't even get that chance if we keep our foot on the pedal and either grow the 13-0 lead or at least maintain it into the final minutes.
