Game Thread: New Orleans Saints @ Seattle Seahawks

[dude82]

I'm just happy that, in two hours, all of the hype and talk and analysis will be over and we'll finally get to watch the game. Between the magnitude of this game and the fact that the Seahawks had a bye week between games for even more buildup to take place, it's been entirely too long since we've gotten to watch them play. My only fear in this game is that they'll come out slow because it's been so long, but that's mitigated by the fact that they know what's at-stake here and should be coming out hungry.

Just saw Dilfer say on ESPN that Thomas and Ingram will have more rushing yards than Lynch. His reasoning is that the Seahawks have given up 150 ypg and 4.9 ypc since week 8. I find that funny, since 1 - the Saints don't run the ball with any real frequency, and 2 - the Seahawks held the Vikings under 4 ypc two weeks ago, and had they not put a majority of reserves in at the end of the game it would have been worse (AP averaged 3.1). I just don't see the rushing numbers being in the Saints favor, especially since they are ranked in the bottom 3rd in the league in every rushing category.

Dilfer's just seems to have something up his butt about the Seahawks, and he just refuses to say anything positive about them. This is just rediculus to think that a team that runs more than it throws and is the #3 running game won't be able to match the rushing total of the 23rd rushing offense, but I guess he doesn't have confidence in the Saints passing game against the Seahawks #1 ranked pass defense?

My only thought about Dilfer is that maybe he's trying to compensate for the fact that he played here at one time and doesn't want to show favoritism, but you're right... he never seems all that positive about the Seahawks whenever he mentions them.

No tape measures were available, but RW and Brees were standing side by side, chatting.
Now I couldn't see their feet, but I assume they were both at field level.
You know what I saw.

I saw them being exactly the same height. Their eyes matched up on the rail behind them.

Go Hawks.

Of course Trent Dilfer pick the Saints.. he hates the Seahawks for some reason. Did someone do him wrong during his time here or something?

Brandon Mebane with a great tackle behind the line!

Got to be sure to make sure the runningbacks don't break out on those little dump offs in the flats.

3 and out!

Great pass deflection by Richard Sherman!

3 and out...great start!

Jesus dude, Sherman is incredible. Robert Meachem had some separation on Sherman but Sherman still recovered to knock that pass down. Great play by Richard Sherman.

Sherman doing the "You crazy throwing on me" gig lol.
