I just can't help but think they're looking past us to some degree. It's human nature. That, plus all the media hate offering an endless amount of motivation for Sean and Drew and the rest of the Saints -

Seattle is going to be tough, but anyone looking for the same result as last time isn't playing attention. That's what I think.

I think we are kidding ourselves if we give any credence to this article. It was written by a local with high hopes like the rest. I don't think we realize how good this seahawks team is at home. Yeah they lost to the cardinals, one loss in 16 at home in two years. And that loss is the one they had to get out of the way.

Hope so.

Saints must start fast and score as early as possible.
If you look at the Seattle/Saints game (if you can stomach it) we scored in the 2nd quarter and their defense started emotionally falling apart - looking at each other and complaining. Fired up or no, their team plays on emotion and without that emotion they can go flat.

Score first or early, get a lead and take their fans out of the game and quiet them. If they do that then it can definitely be a dog fight against one heck of a team. If we come in and start super slow like we did in the first matchup, then everyone can eat Gumbo and get drunk and talk about the draft coming up in a few months.

We MUST start fast, score and take their fans, the stadium and fans out of the equation if we want a chance to win mono y mono.

That is possibly one way. The other is how Arizona did it. They kept SEA out of the end zone. Both Ds did. It was 3-3 till the 3rd or 4th quarter. Seattle would move up and down the field -- but the Cards D wouldn't let them in. They made 2 or 3 goal line stands. It was demoralizing. Then, their D got tired. That's when the Cards woke up, recovered from Carson Palmer's 4 INTs and started scoring. SEA answered -- but -- a bad interception call went against SEA and the Cards won. They might have won anyway -- but a couple of questionable but favorable calls went ARI's way in the 4th quarter.

The good news is SEA will beat themselves with penalties. I'm glad Drew is getting some practice arguing for calls.

Shutdown defense in 2017 = Championship!

So... we're a lock.

I don't see us starting fast.. we normally go thru a feeling out process but I'm all for it.

1) Drew must play better and not hold the ball as long as he did last game. Whether he has to check down or run like Wilson (if given time and space) + that will make them second guess drew.

2) Win the turnover battle and cut down penalty's. I know we had alot of holding penalty's that game and we had some drive killing turnovers/penalties vs eagles. They have to earn the win we can't give it to them.

3) Hopefully we call good plays. Cant go 3 and out so much.. And throw away the earplugs definitely didn't help any.

I'm hoping we walk out of there with a win. Who dat!

Per Pete Presser today Percy Harvin will most likely play. From a Seahawks fans perspective:

What happened if the Saints Win:
Got Heavy Prassure from front four and didn't need to bring a heavy dose of blitz. I though Ryan might blitz more but with secondary concerns, I don't think he will.

Running game getting 3.5 yards per carry mixed in with a healthy dose of play action pass. Drew has shown he can dink and dunk all the way to the end zone with the occasional fly pattern to keep the defense honest. I highly doubt Breeze with throw it much at Sherman and will target Thurmond and Maxwell more. No interceptions period.

Seahawks Victory:
Make the Saints play in space. Use Harvin to minimize pressure in the box and allow receivers to operate. This would put the Saints in a pick your poison, Lynch or wide outs.

Stop the Run make Breeze one dimensional without putting eight in a box. I have a feeling the Hawks will stuff the box and see if Breeze can throw or not. If the Hawks can pin their ears back they will make Drew's life miserable.

That's how I see this game...
