Yes.

1973, Falcons 63, Saints 7 (they didn't pull starters)

And its been a nasty feud ever since.

Personally I hate the 49ers more, but its close.

First off I would like to say greetings one and all. I have to say I admire Drew Brees work ethic and his overall toughness. The Saints have a fantastic head coach and your team looks like it will challenge for the NFC title this year. I must say that your knowledge of the Hawks is a little off. I would rather talk x's and o's but I guess I will throw in my opinion. While I certainly wouldn't begrudge anybody the notion that The Saints can beat the Seahawks I will throw in a few tidbits.

1) This is the best Seahawks team I have ever seen including the 2005 Superbowl team in which we were screwed. That team had a better o line but that is it.
2) The Niner team you beat was one controversial play away from beating you on your home field. Their offense put up a staggering 6 points of drives not aided by turnovers and still came oh so close to a win. The same Niners team we beat 29-3 and 42-13 our last two games.
3) You guys are very borderline with injuries to your db's and we are as healthy as can be with a motivated and supremely talented Percy Harvin added to our offense. We won our games this year while missing 3/5 of our offensive line.
4)You couldn't beat us in Seattle with our worst team since Pete Carroll arrived here, what makes you think you can beat us with our best team? I think you guys are in for a rude awakening.

Here is to a great game in two weeks and if you guys win I will be back to face the music :)

Just wondering what you think of your head coach?

Personally I think he is a moron.

Case in point, the Rams game where he was going home with 3 timeouts in his pocket had the Rams scored that touchdown. Mark Trestman did the same thing in the game vs Baltimore this past Sunday and also lucked out and limited the team to a FG and won in OT. Neither of those head coaches deserved a win.

I also remember witnessing Carroll attempting a 61 yard FG to try to win a game vs Atlanta at home on the last play of the game back in 2011. Of course it wasn't even close.

Originally Posted by Seahawks12th (Post 550284)

The Rams game Carroll came out and said that he was going to gamble the Hawks could stop St Louis and win the game. He didn't want to burn any timeouts and give the Rams extra time. I secretly think Carroll had doubts Russell could drive the length of the field for a game tying field goal. The Rams were blocked every time they went in the red zone so why wouldn't Carroll have faith in his defense.

I was more disappointed in the game plan offensively. The Rams have two premier bookend (and pro bowl) pass rushing d ends and their soft spot was in the belly of the D, so what do the hawks do?? Spread em wide and put our back up tackles on an island against Long and Quinn. Bowie did well against Long (only giving up one sack) but McQuistan was destroyed by Quinn. I would have put two tight ends at the LOS and ran it down their throat with Beast Mode, but word was his back was bothering him (not substantiated).

The 61 yard field goal or a Hail Mary?? Our kicker was hitting them in practice so why not?

It is hard for anybody to hate Carroll. Our franchise was in the dumps and in three years he put us in the divisional round with 31 seconds left to the NFC Championship game and this year we are 10-1. The Seahawks are 18-3 in their last 21 games so I am not sure how this could happen if Pete was an idiot. If you are curious about Carroll, here is a great link to read about him.. To be honest, I think he is brilliant:

And do you realize that the Saints team you beat that year was decimated by injuries? That team on that day was probably the worst team we'd fielded that entire season.

We had Julius Jones and Deshaun Wynn starting as our main RB's. We pulled both of them off of bar stools late in the season to stop the bleeding at RB.

You'll see a different Saints team next week.

But your team deserves respect. I think the top 4 teams in the league are Denver, New Orleans, Carolina and Seattle. I also think we'll play you guys twice this season.

Whats funny is Jones ran well but SP wouldnt give him the ball enough and Brees with his hurt MCL was still trying to throw. I was angry and when they started feeling Jones the ball the saints were starting to come back and then Brees throws again next drive and we end up settling for a missed fg.

Oh wow, I forgot about Favre, you are right... The hit was legal and the NFL didn't fine Chancellor for it and said as such. And yes Wilson is not as good as Favre in his early stages. I agree with another poster that it may not be a horrendous thing if the Seahawks do lose because it is extremely difficult to beat a great team twice in one year. I believe it is between the Saints, Hawks and Panthers (have to give them their due). I am glad we don't have to play them..

Originally Posted by Seahawks12th (Post 550087)

Uhh You are right Talib is no Chancellor. Chancellor made the pro bowl, when did Talib make it?? Yes we beat the Patriots last year when Russell was still in diapers.. What kool aide?? I freely admit your team is capable is beating the Seahawks, I just don't think it is going to happen. How does that make me a troll?

What is really annoying is that people get so upset when people think their team is going to lose. It is even more entertaining when the "experts" make their predictions. They posed the question to Eric Davis and Jeff Garcia about which team is better:
Better team: Seattle Seahawks or New Orleans Saints? - NFL Videos

Garcia thinks it is NO and Davis likes Sea, and now Garcia is a "Hater of the Seahawks" on our board. Uhh it could be that Garcia thinks the Saints are better; he is entitled to be wrong ;). It is so stupid and these are the threads I just hate.

First off, last time isnt based on this time. In THAT Seattle game we did not have:
Jimmy Graham
Marques Colston
Pierre Thomas
Chris Ivory
Jabari Greer
Tracy Porter
Darren Sproles
A banged up Drew Brees from the incident week 3 against falcons.

You can claim you have gotten better since then but when our offense has Colston, Graham, and some kind of running game we are capable of beating anybody. Hasselbeck had one of his rare good games against us also, and a good game by Hasselbeck is about the same as a good game by Russell. Also Lynch went off on us that game like he is doing now. Only significant difference is the secondary. Also Seattle had recently played us in the superdome that year where we played rusty off of a bye week so Seattle got information in that game. I actually thought we would lose to y'all in the playoffs based on that knowlege and the whole NFC West home win trend in the playoffs(not including rams). But we would have lost to the rams too had we played them(same scenario reg season info).

And we go to you likely TWICE. You don't think we're gonna get a lot on you in the first game? Fox didnt adjust against Baltimore after winning; Belechik didnt against the jets in 10; McCarthy didnt against the giants in 11; Harbaugh didnt against the giants in 11. We're supposed to believe Carroll is shifty enough to come out with a different throw off plan in the playoffs if his team wins in two weeks?

To me there's not really much difference between the #1 and #2 seeds. It's the difference between #2 and #3 that matters to me, the extra game and the week's rest and the home field. I personally think we will end up no better than #2 behind Seattle, because Seattle's remaining schedule is a gift-wrapped tiptoe stroll through the sugar-coated cupcake garden. They will be this year's team to end up a puffed up 14-2 with an overblown sense of self-confidence, just like we've already seen from this thread.

Apples and oranges. Chancellor is a safety and enforcer and was drafted for the sole purpose of lining up with physical, pass catching tight ends and intimidating wide receivers. The others are skill positioned shut down CB's.
