Maybe the cold will shut some of the "12" man up.

I wouldn't count on it.

It could, but I doubt it.

The Seattle fans are pretty rabid and they're out to prove that they make a difference in the outcome of the game... especially in front of a national audience. I know that I'll be screaming my head off.

On subject, the latest forecast for Monday night from weather.com is a few showers (30% chance of precip.) and high 30s at kick-off time. Likely mid-30s by the end of the game.

I don't see the weather being a significant issue that will help decide the outcome of the game except for one aspect.

The cold temps will most likely take the air out of the ball in the kicking game, which opens up kick-off return possibilities for Percy Harvin, who WILL be Seattle's kick-off returner this game and for the foreseeable future.

Don't know if any of you saw a replay of Percy's return for 58 yards in last week's game against the Vikings. It set up a last-second TD pass from Wilson to Baldwin to close out the 1st half.

Percy is so explosive in all facets of his game.

I wonder how Rob Ryan will try to defense him... as he moves from the slot... to outside... and then to the backfield.

Effectively, this game will be Percy's first full game back. He saw only limited snaps last week.

You can give the edge to the Saints in the kicking game.

Seattle has kicked-off 68 times with 37 resulting in touch backs.
The Saints have kicked-off 64 times with 42 resulting in touch backs.

And perhaps you saw Travaris Cadet's 82 yard return against the 49er's which set up a Jed Collins TD with less than two minutes remaining in the half.

How many of those Saints 64 kickoffs and 42 touchbacks were in domes with no wind and 70-degree temps?

Really... I'm curious between outdoor and indoors... can you break it down?

Nope.

The Saints will deal with Harvin the same way they dealt with Amendola -- Seahawks fans had better hope Percy is up to the challenge of a physical game, against something other than a two-win team.

Saints fans remember Harvin from the Vikings/Saints NFC Championship game -- his 4th quarter fumble on his own 20 is a memory that many Saints fans cherish.

Percy always has a hammy or migraines or something. He seems to be made of porcelain. It's not the first time the Saints have faced him.

Fwiw, Harvin's migraines are a thing of the past. His pulmonologist while still with the Vikings traced them to his having sleep apnea. He's been on a CPAP machine ever since and no more migraines.

Re him always having a hammy... no, not really. He had hip surgery back on August 1st for a small tear in his labrum. He's 100% healthy.

Made of porcelain?... we'll see.
