New Orleans Saints @ Seattle Seahawks Playoff Thread (1 Viewer)

[Gadabout]

Guys just enjoy or ignore the stats, they are not predictors of future outcomes, it is discussion of recent outcomes of teams in similar situations and the fact that the Saints are, contrary to common opinion, good on the road, and have practically been living with a road schedule in difficult venues for 8 weeks now so they are more than comfortable with the situation. No less, no more.

Did you think they played well last week against the Eagles? not trying to get any Saints homer mad but I didn't think they looked all that great on offense. If they don't play much better they will be in quite some trouble this week.. But I won't say they don't have a chance. Just need to play better than last week. But a win is a win on the road..

I'm just hoping for a good game.

Yes, they played well. They dominated the #2 offense at their place with Lewis in the game(looks like he plays Saturday), and won with a bad game by Brees. Very few have caught on to the fact that this is a very different Saints team. #4 D, #4 PA, #4 sacks, Brees doesn't need to carry the '13 Saints, and the run game carried the offense against a run D that was essentially the statistical equivalent of the Seahawks. Of course, the 'Hawks pass D, pass rush is significantly better, that's why 3rd and reasonable is essential.

The Seahawks are a horrible match-up for the Saints passing game. The Saints ran the ball 16 times in December, and if that is repeated, the score will be too. But it amazes that people have completely ignored the evolution of the Saints. This team can beat you 13-10, and I think Seahawk fans are in for a surprise. Unfortunately, I don't think Carroll will be as easily surprised. Fingers crossed.

Disclaimer: My hope is based 100% on Payton calling a similar game as against the Eagles.

Payton has to call a similar game. It's what all Saints fans have been wishing he would do for a long time.

 

[proninja]

Yes, will be glad to discuss after.

A single game won't provide justification for whatever it is you really want to discuss.

You always say the same thing I want to say, but in about 1/20 the words

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Yes, will be glad to discuss after.

A single game won't provide justification for whatever it is you really want to discuss.

Well now I wouldn't be relying upon a single game, now would I?

I mean, I agree, anyone who would rely upon a single game for justification of their assessment of which team is just inferior/superior would be on very thin ice.

The Eagles were a weak team on defense. Brees had a bad game against them. The Eagles have not been able to shut the run down all year or the pass and they slowed the Saints down pretty well. It is a joke for all of you Saints fans to try and compare the Eagles defense to the Seahawks. The Saints will not be able to run against Mebane and Bryant or McDonald. That will leave you with Brees going up against Chancellor, Sherman, Maxwell (who prior to the last Seahawks-Saints game I said could start for any team and was laughed at, since he has 4 INT's in 4 games) and Earl Thomas. Good luck with that. Saints have about a 10% chance imo. 50% chance they are blown out like the last time. The Eagles were a joke of a team, Brees struggled against them and hence only beat them by a field goal in the final seconds.

So, for the most part I'm not a huge fan of your work in here, but the bolded is a good point. If I had a dollar for every Saints fan who mocked Seattle fans for saying their backup was pretty damn good too, I'd be able to get anything I wanted at Starbucks and maybe have a buck left over for a tip.

Maybe, just maybe, those of us who follow the team pretty closely aren't total idiots and when we say something about our team, it's worth it to listen.

Sorry, you have less Super Biwl rings than Saints coaches have yearlong suspensions. Therefore everything you say is invalid.

Seahawks:

#7 v. run - 101.6/game 3.9/carry

Eagles:

#10 v. run - 104.2/game 3.8/carry

I really doubt anyone has compared pass Ds.

I'm fairly certain people laugh at you for other reasons besides that.

People compared the Eagles and Hawks D's because they finished a couple yards from each other in a YPG basis. If Seattle was light years better than the Eagles, the stats would have reflected that. I guess the only fault on their part was assuming that you'd be able to comprehend that.

After watching the NFL for most of my life with a critical eye I'm convinced I don't know that much about the game. I've been humbled to the point of being convinced that all the chest pounding is only hubris before the fall. Every week I seem to see something happen that I didn't think was going to happen. We're all idiots in some capacity with regard to the NFL.

[biju]

What is this bit where Sean Payton is saying the Seahawks ran up the score in the last meeting? Is this some motivational ploy the players won't obviously figure out? The Seahawks scored only 7 points in the second half and zero in the 4th quarter...

Looks like Payton might need to re-check those facts. And better yet, might want to re-watch that game against the Falcons a few years ago. What an idiot...

If the O-line moved ahead of the snap it would be a reason to stop the play. I haven't rewatched that one recently so I can't say for certain, but I think the RG moved making the call a "neutral zone infraction". If the line doesn't move the call will be offsides pending a favorable offensive outcome. The only other possibility is the "unabaded to the QB" call where you can be offsides and the line doesn't move but the play is called dead.

ETA: I think the call was correct, although certainly disappointing.

Oh bull####! Some of us (you) just don't think like they act like they know everything. Football is by far the most difficult sport to break into smaller pieces, and to truly comprehend all the moving parts. I don't post much in the Shark Pool but the factor especially with draft-related and prospect talk is amazingly inept. Some of these guys act like they know something about a prospect because they saw a 6 minute video and their combine numbers.

To me you have to understand high school and college football first, then you can better digest all the complexities of the NFL. How many can do it? Probably not many but there are enough people out there with a good enough knowledge level to appreciate the nuances of the game. I do and always have liked the college game and even good high school better than the NFL because the game at those levels offer a wider range of variables. But the NFL game is perfection and the way the sport is at it's best, so there is a lot of respect and admiration there.

That said if it weren't for gambling, fantasy football and now the Red Zone channel, I'd probably only watch the Seahawks and Lions. I can barely get through Monday or Thursday night games, I think they are mostly boring until the 4th quarter.

My guess is the term "high" ankle sprain gets used a lot more often than it should. Being around basketball and football my whole life I've seen a lot of ankle spraigns, and very few of them would actually qualify as "high".

Turnovers have proven to be the only reliable correlation to wins. They're impossible to predict. I'd like to see how many times a double digit dog won outright without winning the turnover battle. It's gotta be miniscule.

Lions and Seahawks haven't won a SB, so you don't know #### about football. Those are the rules, sorry.

I can think of one time for sure. The game the Seahawks beat the Saints in the 2010-2011 playoffs they both turned the ball over once (Hasselbeck and Julius Jones).

I can't find Shefter's original report, but it was on ESPN.com. Here's a Seattle paper that talks about it, including the fact that NO reporters asked Carroll about the report. http://blogs.seattletimes.com/seahawks/2014/01/08/did-seahawks-try-to-run-it-up-on-the-saints/

True. The win % across all games for winning the turnover battle is something like 78% iirc. The double digit dog has to be less than 1 in 5.

Anyway the point is we can bring up stats all day that end up meaning nothing when the ball gets put on the carpet. And before anyone thinks I'm implying anything, I'd place a decent wager on the Seahawks winning the turnover battle.

Also, it's worth reminding that our receivers are still suspect. It's a bit difficult to be that high flying team when guys aren't getting open. Teams can double and triple Jimmy because no one else can win one on one. We're better off running first and being judicious with the passing attack at this point.

This article. I checked through Schefter's Twitter over the last week and saw nothing resembling this. Again, maybe he said it but that would be shocking. Payton is king of running it up. Not to mention the fact the Seahawks didn't run it up and I'm pretty sure Payton is smart enough to noodle that.

 

[Breesisdaman]

Even if he did say it I don't think its a big deal. So what if the Seahawks ran it up? Its the Saints Defense job to stop the Seahawks offense. They will have to do a better job this game.

 

[Gadabout]

Seattle definitely didn't run it up but I'd rather that the Saints players thought otherwise.

Last time the Saints won at Seattle (10/14/2007), it was in the Dome Patrol gold pants. Gotta break those out again Saturday.

Weather update:

http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/Seattle+WA+USWA0395:1:US

Winds could be gusting up to 50 mph along with heavy rain.

Weatherunderground is calling for the heavier rain to be Friday night going into the wee hours of Saturday morning. WU also has the heavier winds coming during the day Saturday and lessening as night falls. Probably still a bit early to perfectly predict wind & rain intensity at kickoff, though.

Should the weather be truly horrendous, though ... I think that truly turns the game into a coin flip. Neither team will be into their preferred offense and the defenses won't be at full speed. The game's result would then too much depend on players slipping on specific plays, ball bounces, etc.

 

[Hooper31]

I think that truly turns the game into a coin flip. Neither team will be into their preferred offense and the defenses won't be at full speed.

I disagree with this. If Pete Carroll had it his way Seattle wouldn't have to throw the ball at all. I think he would be thrilled to see Lynch have a 200 yard game on the ground. Further, I think he would love to see the Saints attempt to gain 200 yards on the ground and keep the game out of Bree's hands.

Agreed. A heavy running game for both teams is exactly what Seattle wants.

 

[Doug B]

"Truly horrendous" weather (terrible footing) disrupts the run game, as well. If one or both teams can run well, then the weather, by definition IMHO, is not "truly horrendous". Kind of a tautology I invented there

Seriously, though ... when it gets to the point of weather mattering, I believe both teams get affected. Not just one or the other. YMMV.

I completely understand what you're saying, and neither team ran well against the other in the last match-up. I just believe the cards are in our favor if the game is a running game only, especially with Pierre Thomas potentially out of the game.

 

[Dinkle Heimer]

Seattle is a perfectly fit for grinding out football in bad weather. Rain and heavy winds are not going to turn the game into a coin flip; it's going to favor the Hawks even more.

 

[VA703]

new Orleans cant keep up. easy win for the hawks

 

[Gadabout]

I certainly wouldn't mind seeing heavy run games from both sides.

 

[Gadabout]

Hopefully the rain isn't too bad because I like seeing Petey throw those casual and delicious spirals before the game.

I don't know why I like seeing that.

 

[ScottyDog]

I certainly wouldn't mind seeing heavy run games from both sides.

But you will not. The Saints WILL NOT be able to run. You have my blessing to bump this and make me eat crow if they do after the game. I am not worried in the slightest you will get the opportunity to though. The Saints will get less than 75 total rushing yards.

Hopefully Sean P adjust his gameplan.

Just because there is nothing else to discuss....

SEATTLE — Earthquake trackers are ready for the Seahawks' re-match with New Orleans on Saturday at CenturyLink Field — one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL.

Pacific Northwest Seismic Network's Bill Steele told KIRO-FM (http://bit.ly/1ks8AUN ) that it has installed two more seismometers for the game — one on CenturyLink Field and one in the stands.

Cheers from the field after a Marshawn Lynch touchdown three years ago against the Saints registered on a seismometer in Seattle and became known as the "beast mode" quake.

Steele says scientists hope to learn how seismic waves travel through the area, but he admits it's as much about fun as science.

Pacific Northwest Seismic Network's Bill Steele told KIRO-FM (http://bit.ly/1ks8AUN ) that it has installed two more seismometers for the game — one on CenturyLink Field and one in the stands.

Cheers from the field after a Marshawn Lynch touchdown three years ago against the Saints registered on a seismometer in Seattle and became known as the "beast mode" quake.

Seattle is THE loudest stadium in the NFL.

We don't want any of your brethren to boude' some more in this thread.
