I'd have been much happier with a Saints loss.
I don't rate the Dogs' chances of making the eight. They are without a few key players and have a very tough run coming up opponent wise.
So for me, the Saints are the much bigger threat out of those two. And we already pretty much had the Saints covered percentage wise, unless there are some big scores scored or conceded by either them or us in the last week. So them only getting two points rather than four is neither here nor there. Them getting nil points, on the other hand, would have been a handy outcome for us. So long as we beat them next weekend, may not be an issue, but I'm really nervous about our ability to cover an in fit and in super form Riewoldt, not to mention Gehrig and Koschitske lurking next to him.
