Yes, we want to win the division. But if we don't, wouldn't you rather have the Falcons be the #1 seed?
Before I get crushed, I am strictly going on logic, not emotion.
It is no secret we are a dome team. That is NOT to say we are a finesse team, but we play at least 10 games a year in a dome, and our offense is much to do about rhythm and timing and precision.
When its January, the weather conditions at some of the other leading NFC teams HAVE and WILL affect our natural rhythm. Think Chicago 2006. Adjusting to the weather alone from living in New Orleans is tough for those who don't live in it. Have you lived in freezing temperatures? It sucks, and you have to get used to it. You fly in the day before after living in New Orleans, it screws up your head a little bit. Not to mention your play.
We know Atlanta. We beat Atlanta regularly. We are a better team than Atlanta. We are a better team than anyone else, but I don't want the Saints going to Lambeau Field in January. I don't want them going to New York. I don't want them going to Philly. I don't want them going to Chicago.
I'll take playing in the quiet Georgia Dome that we will most likely fill up with Who Dats anyway over anywhere else. Even if it means (gulp) Falcons have the #1 seed.
Not to mention, wouldn't it be sweet to snag their dream away like that and win another one?
