so you're basically stating the seahawks will win

nope, I haven't seen a team luckier than the Seahawks this year, MAYBE the Chargers in how they got in the playoffs.

Russell Wilson has been average the past 3 games, I think him and his receivers have been far too magical this year, and it'll end here vs the Saints.

Tate/Baldwin would be WR3, WR2 AT BEST, in any other team. And from what I see, Marshawn is becoming a bit sluggish, but still powerful.

Tate is WR2 and technically WR3 if Rice and Harvin was around.

Which would mean that Baldwin is like a back up receiver but I love how Baldwin plays.

Aside from all of that, Seahawks' offense has been pretty dismal throughout the season but thank God for our defense.

So I guess our defense is the "lucky" miracles.

Pretty interesting article.

Defense wins games and Seattle has a stellar D, especially at century-link. You would understand had you ever been to that stadium, it's fucking magical lol. I don't see the Saints having a chance, especially if they get to Brees early and often. Seattle offense which is mediocre imo, only needs to put up a couple of points for them to have this game in the bag. I think they will have a tougher time against Carolina next week. Even Seattle's D has trouble dealing with a running QB, most Ds do.

Usually when everyone thinks a heavy underdog has no chance whatsoever is when the underdog steps up to prove something

The saints are going to play hard and if they keep the game close, anything can happen... saying they have no chance is pretty dumb

The Saints are going to be a very very tough team.
I don't care about earlier in the season, yes The Clink is fucking scary to play at, the Saints are an offensive fucking machine.
I'm rooting for the Hawks obviously but this game is scary.

Well, you could use the argument that saying any team has "no" chance is dumb. Anything can obviously happen, you don't need to take everything so literally. My logical analysis of the match up has made me believe that SEA should take this one with ez. Everyone knows NO does not play well on the road, it's not really up for debate. They finally beat a team and it was Philly, who played like garbage. They couldn't protect Foles to save their lives and you can't honestly believe that pass rush is going to be able to put anywhere near that amount of pressure on Wilson. NO has a stellar offense and obviously they could dominate if they are playing on, they just usually don't on the road.

You're going to have faith and that's good, you're a NO fan. You damn well better have faith in your team. I'm an unbiased spectator in this match and I'm just going off what I've seen from the two teams and a gut feeling. Gut usually outweighs logic, I'm still thinking SD will upset DEN. Which really shouldn't be possible lol.

I don't know where you have been BUT Saints have a top 5 defense and they also have two players with 10+ sacks.... with 49 sacks total this year #4 in the league. It should be a good game and i think you are seriously under valuing their defense. I don't want the saints to win as I am a bucs fan and don't really like the saints but they will be prepared im sure.

For me, I think Payton and Brees are going to prepare like crazy to confuse the Seattle defense which has been done before.

I mean, if I were them, I would watch all the offenses that had the Seahawks confused in the regular season and utilized everything that they have done but execute it even better.

I hope Hawks will win but I can't count Saints out like that
