Scared?
 

I was just watching NFL Countdown on ESPN, why you ask, I don't know glutton for punishment I guess. Anyway, Keyshawn asked Berman if the Saints were scared because of all the things SP is and has been doing this week. Well I can see his point but I refuse to fall into that trap. Sean has never struck me as being scared, rattled, or nervous. I'm wondering is the practicing with loud noise, trying to set the fire sprinklers off at the practice facility, throwing wet footballs, painting the logo on the practice field, changing hotels in Seattle, etc. isn't a mind game to try and make the seahawks feel over confident thinking that we are scared. I wouldn't put it past him.

Re: Scared?
 

Seems more like trying to focus the players.

Re: Scared?
 

I see it as game prep.

Re: Scared?
 

Y'all bring up good points. I think that is all part of it too. It's just that there seems to be so much he is doing. When I heard he tried to get permission to set off the fire alarm in the building to set off the sprinklers I'm like man he's pulling out all the stops. But y'all are right our players need to be in the right frame of mind for this one.

Re: Scared?
 

I thinks its just good coaching! Makes sense to try and replicate, as much as is possible, what the game conditions, etc are going to be like!

Re: Scared?
 

Yea I agree but was just wondering if maybe he didn't say to himself, "you know this preperation could get into the heads of the hawks players, make them over confident." He wants to win this game bad. First we could'nt win on the road. Now we can't win in Seattle. I'm sure he's just as sick of hearing this as we are.

Re: Scared?
 

Choke, scared...... Once you have won a Super Bowl, neither applies.

Re: Scared?
 

They gave us no chance last week either, didn't turn out then want turn out now. I can't wait to see their faces after we smash the Seahawks it going to be priceless!!

Re: Scared?
 

Like Coach said - attention to detail - I like it!

"It’s just trying to create that environment for your players that will be much like it is on game day and you try to think of a lot of different things in regards to your preparation and be really detailed and it really signifies the attention to detail we’ve got to pay this week."

Payton wanted to simulate rain, too | ProFootballTalk

Re: Scared?
 

These analysts man I'm telling you they come up with anything to justify their answers. Last week: Saints can't play on the road. Well you know how that went. This week: Saints can't play on the road. It has kind of fueled my fire, bring on the hate!

Re: Scared?
 

After today it will be either the Saints can't win in San Fran or Carolina!

Re: Scared?
 

Re: Scared?
 

Did he simulate PEDs as well? I hate that we will have some suspended players next year.

Re: Scared?
 

And people thought Lynch was really popping Skittles!

Re: Scared?
 

I'm on board with y'all. I certainly wasn't insinuating SP scared. I was just set back by the question itself presented by Key. yea if, no,WHEN, we win today I guess we won't be able to win on either coast. wait, that would mean we just won on both coasts. they'll come up with another reason we can't win.

Re: Scared?
 

Also Sean Payton simulated Seahawk internet troll fans.
He grabbed a handful of people, gave them anonymous names, tried to disguise some of them as Saints fans, and let all of them hide behind computer monitors to make them feel "tough." They start "intelligent football discussions" where all they do is argue that Seahawks will win no matter what, will win Superbowl this year and next, and if you disagree they ridicule saying childish comments and try to convince you that you are "delusional."

After losing the discussion, these simulated trolls grab more trolls to stand next to you and say the same thing over and over again. Then, like little tarts, they post their discussion on their own message board to try and make fun, but not many join in realizing these trolls are little chihuahuas.

Final requirement to make the simulation complete - all these trolls are either children or unemployed with tons of time on their hands.

Re: Scared?
 

Me I'm nervous.. like last week times 3. We can't mess up.. I'm talking to you drew!

Re: Scared?
 

I'm not nervous, no need to be... This team has went farther than I honestly thought they would, so soon after last year at that...

The way I look at it, we are playing with house money and all the pressure is on Seattle...

Re: Scared?
 

House money

Re: Scared?
 

Hell no my nigga. We got it.

Yeah, I'm about to get real IGNANT today! Who dat!

Re: Scared?
 

Scared nope
Prepared yep

Re: Scared?
 

Saints have been getting very little media focus or positive feedback. Everyone is a bandwagon Hawks fan this week. Yawn/yawn..

Re: Scared?
 

I never watch pre game shows.

Re: Scared?
 

I never listen to in-game shows either. I watch the video and turn on the Saints radio broadcast on either AM or FM. My only headache is synching the AM (real time) or the FM (little behind) with the tv. Problem solved. :beer:

Re: Scared?
 

The only time I remember seeing someone truly scared in a sporting event, was during Mike Tyson's hayday. I especially remember seeing Frank Bruno's eyes going into the ring, and saying to my buddies "that man is scared"; and then "fought" like he was.

What exactly would anyone think the Saints are scared, I don't know...

Re: Scared?
 

What are you nervous for, duece? You and Xan already picked SEA to win in our poll.

Re: Scared?
 

Need a translator? Gimme a run at it.

What rez is saying is:
We most certainly do not possess any fear, we are limiting the intensity of this set of circumstances.

That is affirmative, I am in the initial stages of ignoring that which I have experienced; this 11th day of January, in the year of our lord 2014.
