It all depends on Byrds injury. If it lingers then production will drop. Vaccaro should be even better though. If Byrd can start at 100% some people are gonna get waylayed.

Point is if saints secondary played like sea chicks refs would have wore out themselfs throwing flags.Think when bush tryed 15yard flag.

year in year out since Payton arrived there has not been a team in the NFL that we could not go toe to toe with in the dome. Even the Super Bowl champions over the last decade.

yes an also on the road if the playing field is even.Never underestimate the REFS an flags.saints were off to hot start last year when i think teams were told with a wink an nod its ok to mugg jimmmy think about if the other team has to play within normal rules jimmy was un stopable.what old roger to do have to stop Saints having home field thru out play offs.Jimmy at 6-6/270 an 4.5 sd very hard to even slow down if your secondary have to play normal an if you double or triple team him like some teams did then you open up other options for Brees.

Thats why payton went to robinson an ingram with power run game as he had to do something an yes refs tryed to let peagles win in playoff road game Saints jus t to strong to throw game

Wow props to that Seahawks fan. Pretty honest evaluation of a hated rival. Well I hate the Seahawks. Anyway Falcons fans can't stop talking about Bounty Gate, how Brees is really a terrible guy. WHAT! And that's when they're not self proclaiming themselves as NFL elites. Here's to watching Khiry Robinson rush for 150+ vs Hawks in the playoffs.

Anyone here recall the South Park character - Tweek?

Our DBs proved they can be physical. Home game vs Carolina. Vaccaro, Lewis and others delivered some serious punishment.

That what burns my ass about Seattle, get a bunch of tough opponents at home all season, draw them up in the playoffs, one of them wasnt ****, the other out played them and still lost, then draw up a team in the SB that had no business there.

Problem? They couldnt win tough games on the road, I think the only tough one they had they lost.

A few key plays and Seattle would have been a road playoff team that year too.
