How I think rest of Season will play out.

I have also seen some really smart objective posts too which is nice after spending some time on the 49ers forum.

I have no problem with anyone thinking the Saints are better. I do think the vast majority of the board is under estimating the Seahawks and how good they are. They are 10-1 and played most of the year without 3-4 starters on the offensivle line. I also think Wilson is really going to shock people with how good he is. Just saw an NFL scount call him a top 4 QB in the NFL right now and I think he is right. Anyway I think homefield will be huge for the path to the Super Bowl. Seahawks have played better than the Saints on the road this year so it might be more important for you guys to get it.

I expect a very close game but the Seahawks are too tough at home. I do love the Saints though and what they are about. Good luck guys!

In fairness we haven't played the Saints since beast quake. We can speculate but nobody know what will happen until the teams play. The Hawks will put up points (imo) with a healthy mix of Lynch and pass but the outcome of this game in my opinion will be their run offense vs our run defense. They are not going to throw all over the place in my opinion, I think they will try to mix it up and control the clock. If they can't run on us they are cooked. Nobody has been able to just chuck it all over the field on us with our very physical secondary and our pass rush, which they will have to neutralize.

Who exactly has TRIED to "chuck it all over the field" on you so far this year? Chad Henne? Ryan Fitzpatrick? Matt "Pick 6" Schaub? LOL. Your team has NOT been tested by an elite QB, at least not anyone I'd consider even remotely close to being elite in the passing game. Well, maybe Andrew Luck. He did a bit of chucking, 2 TDs, quite a few first downs, and a 2 point conversion to Reggie Wayne.

I know you're cocky, but when it comes to facing an elite QB like Brees, I think you will find that your defense is not gonna look the same, as it does when it's playing against the Christian Ponders or Kellen Clemenses of the world. You had your hands full with Luck, and that's not even nearly the same level as Brees.

Fair question, I would consider Luck an elite quarterback and he passed for 208 yards (at home). Would you be happy if Brees matched that?

So the best QB you have faces is Luck and he had 208 yards?

How then do you account for.

Chad Henne dropped 214 on you in your house. Thats Jacksonville brother... Henne and Cecil Shorts put up 143... Now.. Lets talk about Graham and Brees again.

Look past the obvious brother... Its not the Lucks dropping 208.. Its the Schaubs and Hennes dropping 325,214.

I kid you not, Russell Wilson was out of the game in the middle of the 3rd quarter and our second string offense and Defense was in the rest of the game. We were up 24-0 at halftime. Total blowout. Russell Wilson scored to make it 31-0 opening drive and that was it; starters were all out of the game. We massacred them!!
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Seattle Seahawks - Box Score - September 22, 2013 - ESPN

As for Schuab the Seahawks played an equivelant of 5 quarters against them and won with a little over 3:18 left. If you took his passing average for 4 quarter he has roughly 260 yards passing and his average is around 244 but after halftime he was shut down. The Seahawks were down 20-3 and came back and won the game and we did it WITHOUT three of our starting offensive lineman and the Texans had Brian Cushing.

Of course not. But to be fair, Brees hasn't thrown for anything close to that little in a game, since week 3 of 2009, four years ago, LOL. Matt Schaub, 355 YDS, 2 TD, against the Seahawks....that is a bit more realistic discussion of your pass defense.... and the only reason you got back in it was because Schaub gifted you with one of his patented pick 6's.....Keep in mind, Brees > Schaub by every statistical measure. Again -- this game will not be a pushover, like facing the Jaguars or Vikings.
