Re: Monday forecast in Seattle...

According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Saints have the NFL’s longest active winning streak on "Monday Night Football," with eight straight wins dating back to 2008.

Drew Brees has been the Saints' starting quarterback in all eight of those games, giving him the fourth longest winning streak in MNF history. His numbers in those games are astounding: 308.4 yards per game, 24 touchdowns, five interceptions and a completion percentage of 71.1.

Yes and my Hawks were one of those eight wins, a victim at home. I think the fans on both sides are getting restless, we just need to play this game and see what happens.

Re: Monday forecast in Seattle...

I love the fact that Seattle fans have pointed out just about every advantage in their favor heading into this game.

They will have no excuse to fall back on for this loss, other than the Saints are simply a much better football team, which I will gladly and frequently point out to them

I disagree. Most of the advantages are in the Saints favor.

Last time the teams played in regular season, the Saints spanked the Seattle 34-19 in 2010, and 28-17 in 2008. Yes, Seattle won the playoff game in 2010 but I think that we'd all agree that game was clearly an aberration. Seattle just got lucky that day.

Seattle has a midget for a QB who has never played in a MNF game before. That's huge. Think "deer in the headlights scared". They also run that Read Option gimmick offense because Wilson can't stay in the pocket and throw the ball effectively like Drew Brees.

Seattle doesn't have a TE who is anywhere near as productive as Jimmy Graham. Hell, Zach Miller even seldom gets to go out for a pass because he's needed to stay on the line and block due to Seattle's inconsistent and weak O-line.

And Seattle's so-called "Legion of Boom" is currently decimated by the injury to Brandon Browner and the fact that his back-up, Walter Thurmond, will be out due to a 4-game suspension.

The Saints have the advantage in this game.

Anyone who tells you different is fooling only themselves.

Drew Brees is a known commodity... a great leader/winner beyond reproach who has proven himself for years in the league.

No so with Russell Wilson. He's new and unknown to most fan bases.

What I said about Graham and Miller is fact.

And when I called Russell Wilson a midget, well, that was tongue in cheek.

For those who have not witnessed Russell's leadership, this game may be eye-opening... or, it may not be.

Regardless, the evening will be entertaining.

That much is certain.

Russell Wilson has never lost at home game in two years and came back from a 20-3 deficit in their divisional road game against Atlanta strictly passing from the pocket and I highly doubt he is unbeknownst to fan bases. Brees is an elite quarterback and as of now, Wilson is in the top four for MVP (along with Brees).

What does the last two meeting have to do with this one? None of the Seahawks from 2008 are even on this team. The last time they played was not lucky and you are just trying to start sh*t and that win has no bearing at all on this game.

Both quarterbacks are midgets and a true Saints fan would not even bring that up in the discussion so you are either a 49er troll or an Atlanta troll so go back to your room and finish your homework and perhaps if your good, Santa will bring a win to one of these teams.. Wait, not even Santa could promise a win for the Falcons...
