How We Will Beat Seattle
 

12th Man , Monday Night Football , The World is Watching and we throw a Duck losing 34 - 7. The Most Embarrassing loss in the Sean Payton Era.

Let us Analyze what exactly happened ... And what that loss had in Common with all of our Road Playoff Woes ...

@Chicago 2007
Drew Brees Attempted Nearly 50 Passes throwing 27 For 49.
Rushing Attempts 11

@Seattle 2013 Loss
Drew Brees Attempted Nearly 40 Passes throwing 23 for 38.
Rushing Attempts 18

@SanFran 2011 Loss
Drew Brees Attempted nearly 70 Passes throwing 40 for 63 !
Rushing Attempts 14

@Seattle 2010 Loss
Drew Brees Attempted 60 Passes completing 39 ...
Rushing Attempts 22


In all of our Playoff Losses , Our Passing Heavily Outweighs our Rushing Attempts ...

In our 1 and only Road Playoff Win , Our Totals Are :
Drew Brees Attempted 30 Passes , Completing 20.
Rushing Attempts 36.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As You Can See Our Losses are Very Similar , Our Win Stands out Very Much as Far as Offensively which also Corresponds With Our Defense. The More We Throw The More the Clock Stops when We Miss. The Sooner and more frequently Our Defense gets Sentenced out to an Uphill Battle. Which in the Past was a death sentence with our poor defense. So in retrospect we were leaning too much on our Terrible Defense back then.

With the Win We Helped them out by Running the Clock , Winning TOP and Limiting the Opportunities Opposing offenses had against them in terms of Numbers of Snaps against them.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now Lets Examine Seattles 3 Losses This Year...


Cardinals

Carson Palmer 13/25
46 Rushing Attempts


Colts

Andrew Luck 16/29
29 Rushing Attempts


49ers

Colin Kaepernick 15/29
33 Rushing Attempts

Basically as Vaunted as their Defense has been out made to be , If You Run Over Them You Win. In all of their losses the opposition ran for more than they threw ! Great News as Ingram and Robinson are Finding Footing.

Basically We Will Need A Mirror Image of What We Just Did to Philly in the 2nd Half.

1st Key - Run The Ball
2nd Key - Deny Them The Big Play
3rd Key - Get Off The Field on 3rd Down.

4th Key - Eat more Popeyes chicken! Great analysis, I liked watching the Saints ground and pound last night, it was a nice change of tone.

Re: How We Will Beat Seattle
 

Run the ball.. exactly what the rams did and Bucs did. Both lost but both threatened the hawks. If we can start off with a 10 yrd gain from MI or whoever vs the Seahawks I'd be happily surprised.

Run + No turnovers + Good D = Success

Re: How We Will Beat Seattle
 

We Could easily Embarrass Them... If they refuse to respect the Run , We Will Literally Run Them Out of their own Building , If they choose to do something about the Run , Jimmy Better be ready to Bend them Goal Posts

This only works if the O-line that played yesterday shows up in Seattle. I assume they will get on the plane -- but it HAS been an issue all year and it definitely was not just Brown. Seattle's front 4 is pretty good.

On the D: Stop Skittles, contain Wilson in the pocket, preferably sack him.

I am going out on a limb here...

Score more points them them?

Re: How We Will Beat Seattle
 

I don't like to see Drew have to run - which of course we almost never see.

BUT

I'd sure like to see him do more of it because in so many cases I've seen us punt because rather than run for an easy 3 or 4 yards Drew will make a risky throw.

I guess I just wish he would take those 3 or 4 yards a few times a game so the defense would start reacting to the possibility which might pull them off a PT or Sproles or Khiry checkdown.

Am I crazy?

Yes it wassnt just brown but there are large improvements since switching to armstead in pass protection and run blocking
