Given the flurry of discussion regarding playoff seeding...

Even if the Saints pull it out, what becomes of the seeding/home field discussion? I personally have no problem with the current system and I think this game shows why it's fine how it is - not that every game (or many, for that matter) in this situation will be this competitive, but that it can happen. Will the outcry for change continue?

I actually think it helps the seeding argument. People will say the saints were the better team during the season record wise, and on the field. But because they had to go across the country on the road they lost. Had they played a home game being the better team during the season then they would have won.

I don't agree with this argument, but today's game can add some credibility to it IMO.

Doesn't work. You don't win whatever game you're put in, you don't deserve to advance. Circumstances don't mean jack.

If you can't beat whoever they stick in front of you, regardless of where you play, you're not the best and you have nothing to say.

I fell the same way, but I also recognize that is an legitimate argument to be made. At the end of the day home-field advantage is a factor, thats why teams play for it.

Granted homefield is nice, but if you don't win, you don't win.

Any Saint fan arguing this point should rightly be laughed out of the debate.

Want homefield advantage? Win your games.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
