Yes... hard to believe, but we even allow FailClowns fans and Detroit Lions fans in here! Be careful though, we've converted quite a few.

I agree about Harbaugh. Douchebag to the nth degree. An embarrassment to the NFL actually. Why can't he be like his brother in Baltimore?

Going along with the theme of how the rest of the season will go, how does your team match up with the Panthers??? I know revenge will be a factor given they swept you last year (Obviously you were not the same team) but what will be the deciding factor for a Saints win or loss?

Re: How I think rest of Season will play out.

If the playoffs started today:

#6 San Fran @ #3 Detroit
#5 Carolina @ #4 Philadelphia

Best scenario is San Fran upsetting Detroit and having to go to Seattle, where both teams can brutally beat up on each other. Obviously, Saints fans would hope for a San Fran upset.

So the Saints playing a home game vs Carolina/Philly winner and then potentially playing the NFC CG vs San Fran at home (payback time). That's the road to the Super Bowl for me.

Carolina looks tough right now. I think they are more of a challenge than the Hawks, for us at least because they are division a opponent (I dont think Carolina is a better team than them).

It is all wide open right now and the NFC looks tough regardless of who is in; that HFA is going to be huge in the NFC.

If you look at the league from just a statistical point of view the Saints have the 2nd ranked offense and the 4th ranked defense; the combination of a great offense and great defense is being overlooked, and no other team in the league has that combination.

I agree with this, after tonight, the direction of your season will be decided in the next couple weeks.

Felt like a 12th man takeover of this thread .. guess that would be falcon fans this year if they weren't losing.

Re: How I think rest of Season will play out.

Welcome Seahawks fans.... If you wish to have some fair discussion these are some points you may want to consider before posting.

1. You are not the only team with an injury report. You are also not the only team that gets players back once they are ready to play. So if you dont mind, we can dispense with (we are this good with x players hurt...) So are we.

2. "I feel"... Back it up with something more than just two words. Feelings are subjective and provide zero evidence of anything other than fanship. Empirical data, and Xs & Os are what we want to discuss.

3. You may see some "dumb comments".. Following that with a comparison between Wilson and Manning on a PvP is "dumb". Wilson is good because of Lynch, evidence is in the fact that your Passing Game is 24th in the league, your completion % is 8th and your over 100+ passing attempts behind the big boys. Your record is no more an indication of Wilson as a QB as Matt Ryans record was last year.

* If you think nicely framed derogatory statements fly over our heads because we are a bunch of Deep South coon-ases your may want to rethink that. Dont assume we are slow and we will not assume you hug trees and hump whales. Capisce?

So put the kool-aid down and lets talk ball. Lets talk match-ups.

A solution for Jimmy Graham is not someone the same height...
Lynch will be a hand full but if you go through our stats this season we have locked down some of the best RBs.
This is not the defense of 2009/2010/2011/2012... let that soak in for a while.

PS. The 12th man is a Texas A&M tradition. You pay a licensing fee to use it instead of trying maybe.. A little originality. <--see, that's proper smack talk.

As far as injuries not every team is affected equally. Seattle to be 10-1 without your whole offensive line actually is a big deal. Another obvious point that you over look.

What's your answer for Wilson? Lynch? Harvin? Tate? There is no obvious answer for Graham because he is incredible. Seattle has been very good against te's this year and shut down Vernon Davis. He's not a Graham but he's close. Don't fear your running game or the receivers on the outside. The Jets of all teams actually faired very well against you and I think we will too. You're suspect away from home losing to bad teams. Good luck at the Clink.
1. Don't talk to me about an injured suspect offensive line.
2. The same answer we had for Jackson, White, Ryan, Gonzalez, Douglas, Jones... The Falcons have a more impressive line up.

Its obvious you are well versed in Seattle but void of knowledge on your opponents.

Again with the "I think".... Ride that horse till she falls brother.. Ride it till she falls.

Finally. No VD is not close to Jimmy Graham. If you knew football you would know that close in some respects it still miles away.

You are going to have to double Jimmy. We will have to double no one.

See, I know some parts of your team quite well. I carry Lynch, Tate, your defense in Fantasy Football. I dropped Tate, he is unreliable and drops a lot.

Even then Lewis is a shut down corner.

Umm....Pro Football Focus begs to differ: Seahawks&rsquo; Golden Tate: Mr. Good Hands dares to be great | Jerry Brewer | The Seattle Times

According to that, he only has 5 career drops in 231 targets. He doesn't always get thrown to in a game (we spread the ball around A LOT) and as such he isn't the sexiest Fantasy Player, but drops are NOT an issue.
