49ers has a defense like ours just they have a terrible offense

This game is a riddle.

On one side its hard to see us winning in Seattle, but then again you see the fact that maybe Seattle has had an easy schedule.

Seattle is beginning to remind me more and more of the Falcons, lets see if they can choke it up like the Falcons, afterall, TB hung with them in Seattle, for all we know, we could completely blow Seattle out of the water.

But you want my opinion, some games are better to be lost, this one is probably one of those games, that way the potential to win the rematch is that much greater.

Even if we did win, we swipe the #1 seed from Seattle, but how long would we keep it with our schedule? You have to hope Seattle drops 2-3 more games.

This is a good and valid question.

Seattle could conceivably go on the road and lose to San Fran on a short week.

So if that were to happen, New Orleans could split with Carolina and win out and keep that #1 seed. Otherwise we would have to run the table all the way to 14-2.

Seattle having to go play the Giants on the road could be for NFC East title implications. So don't sleep on that game just yet.

Saints will take care of the Rams and Bucs and at the very least split with Carolina. So I see us going 3-1 down the stretch.

You may have a point on the schedule ... They played the Whiners when the Whiners were less good.
Seattle Seahawks Football Clubhouse - ESPN
And Tampon as they were going through their controversy.
Their remaining schedule is harder thank you think... every bit as challenging as ours down the stretch.

We will win in Seattle

The more I think about this game the more I think we will win. We love to be in the underdog position and their secondary is going to have some issues. They are going to be overconfident as they really haven't faced a team like the saints. If our D can contain Lynch I think we get this game.

The O-Line will have to protect Drew, and blast some holes for Ingram, so he can run free (at least until the first tackler touches him, then he falls down), and PT will just have to be PT, and Jimmy Graham can hopefully tilt their goal posts a few times, and our DEFENSE has to be ON FIRE.

But if we lose this one, I can be ok I think. Just wanna slap Cam Newton silly... But I am getting ahead of myself.

Its gonna be tough. If we come out healthy I will be happy. A win would be great, but I think the way its shaking out the Panthers are the ones we really need to worry about.

We have lost two on the road outdoor cold weather games.

Anyone know what we are doing to prepare?

Hope to be there in Seattle - have seen games there before - it is loud and seattle this time of year sucks! It ain't that bone chillin cold like Buffalo or Greenbay but a slow damp chill that kills ya!

Win in Seattle

The Saints have all the drive from the 2010 playoff games that we almost came back from

The o-line has been playing better each week and the d line is jelling

Hopefully we can keep russell wilson contained and not given much time to throw

If Drew doesn't try to float one over here and there we should win the turnover ratio

The 49er and even Falcons games were good tests

I see Colston continuing to be a bigger factor

SaintSproles · 11-24-2013, 10:40 AM

The Thurmond suspension has now swung the pendulum towards the Saints.

Can we take advantage of them being down 2 CBs?

I would think so.
