I just hope Ivory can make it the whole game. If so, we got this.

At the moment I hope he can actually start.
Bizarrely, the Saints have an issue of RBs starting and not finishing games over the last few weeks. Seems the fact is we have a generally unable to FULLY participate Saints team on Offense / Defense/ Special Teams going in to the playoffs. A long hard slog and no gimmes this trip |

It's all about the matchups.
And this offense is very capable of running the football – especially when our RB’s are healthy. BUT how many games have we had that this year??? It’s the Saints defense who benefits most from quick leads. Without them, our D line can be exposed by the run game. So, in the last meeting, Drew threw to 5 different receivers for over 20yds per catch and 4 TD’s. Tell me why, exactly we need to run the ball vs. Seattle so badly?? |

We've got so many weapons to prepare for it might just be easier for Pete Carroll to get a good night's sleep so he looks good at the press conference giving his concession speech. Getting to the playoffs is one thing.......playing a motivated Saints team is quite another thing.

Reggie will carry the load bc the Seahawks' "run D" is an "F"!! |
