The poor Oline play and the lack of a run game have caused Brees to have to create things on his own. He has been rushed into trying to fit things in tight windows all while opposing defenses have not respected the Saints run game and have come after him. Atlanta blitzing Brees 30+ times is a prime example. Brees turned the ball over twice. But Brees also won the ball game. Hopefully the run game picks up in these playoffs even in spite of the injuries. It begins with the offensive line earning their pay checks. There are a couple of probowlers on that line too that need to step up.

Did Drew Brees play in the Atlanta game, the Browns game, the Cardinal game, the Ravens game, and the Bucs game?Just checking.

Some Saints tweets from today
"Payton said there was no structural damage to Jenkins' knee. Said they'll pay attention to rehab schedule with him."
Payton on his TEs: "In the case of both Dave and Jeremy, their week has gone well. And Jimmy (Graham) is feeling much better."
Payton on Graham: " News with Jimmy has been good in that a day and a half, he’s feeling a lot better than he was earlier in the week..."
Todays injury/practice report:
DNP - M. Jenkins, A. Hargrove, J. Graham, D. Clark
Full - J. Shockey, D. Thomas, M. Colston, A. Waters
Coach Payton said all the players that did not practice today will travel to Seattle tonight with the team.

Yept he's playing with his career hight 22 INT'S
How dare you question Hass. Hass wants the ball and Hass is gonna score!really? I actually wish that Hass was still here, lol.I doubt you have seen Hass and Whitehurst play too often if you think so highly of Hass. Hass has been one of the worst QBs in the entire league for 3 years now. This year he has a QB rating of 73, which means that there are only 3 qualified QBs in the league with a worse rating than Hasselbeck: Clausen, Derek Anderson and Favre. His TD to INT ratio is 12/17, the only QBs in the league with more INTs have a positive ratio. This has not only been going on this year but for the last 3 years. His QB ratings for the last 3 years: 73, 75, 58 (only played 7 games). He is beyond atrocious. The only game he did well in was against the Saints earlier in the year, and the team scored 19 points I believe. Whitehurst in his 2nd ever start against the Rams last week, played very conservative football, and the team scored 16 points in a defensive duel.I think the people who believe in Hass are the people who haven't really seen the guy play over the last 3 years and are only going by name recognition. "hey, isn't hass the guy who led the Seahawks to the superbowl! He must be good, the wily vet." The guy has like 14 turnovers over his last 4 games. A ridiculous number.
Geez, you Saints fans really need to lighten up. I never said that they didn't earn their victory. I was making a comment on how the NFL media see the Saints. Although, let's be honest, last year's Vikings were the best team in football. 6 TOs will lose a game for you though. And I was rooting for the Saints the entire way. I love their offense, and Bush was my favorite in college. Plus, I like Brees and how no one gave him his due because he's not 6'5 240.

What happened to being honest? "The best team in football" doesn't turn it over that many times. You're not very good at this.

ESPN and NFL network have a ton of time to fill and the Saints story provided plenty of material. Whoever makes a run this year will have the same wall-to-wall coverage. There's no preferential treatment. And really, the Saints were largely forgotten this season until beating the Falcons.

Shockey and Thomas are go. They'll be there.

As an unbiased observer, this is completely true. For the most part, the NFC talk until that game was the Falcons, Eagles Giants and the Packers - and whatever bad team was going to come out of the West. The Bears and Saints were mostly a throw in line about wildcard possibilities.

You know, that's true, and if you think about it.... the Saints might be even more motivated than the Seahawks. That's probably worth discussing.

this is kind of funny... I was on the Falcon's website and they listed all the playoff teams... Notice something missing from Seattle? http://www.atlantafalcons.com/playoffs/
Uh oh, looks like a pissed off a petty Saints fan. Relax, take a deep breath and count to 10 before responding.

Huh?Because someone responded to your nonsense they're petty? Pissed off? You may want to try again.As to Minn being better:NO had the better recordNO had the better point differentialNO had the tougher schedule (beat an undefeated NYJ in week 4, undefeated NYG in week 5, and an elite NE team in week 12 en route to a 13-0 start)NO beat 3 eventual HOF QBs to win (Peyton, Warner, Favre). But yeah, other than all that, Minn was the best team in football last year.

As he said, you're not very good at this. I never get tired of hearing that the Vikes were" the best team in football", yet they didn't even make it to the Superbowl, much less win it. You and Gopher State are just bitter. Get over it!

Can't believe I'm really going to miss the game at work. Saints are about the only other team in the NFC I'd care to win it so IF they manage to win, good luck to them and I hope there aren't more injuries. If, on the other hand Seattle pulls out a miracle...
...the next game better not be on ####### Saturday again!

Travesty? They recently played Seattle at home. If they don't score more points, on the road, with a more banged-up team, it will be a travesty?Can it happen? Sure. I don't expect Seattle to win, but the hyperbole I've been reading all week is the real travesty.

Looks to be a bit overcast with sun breaks during the game.http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/busi.../graph/USWA0395
From that link it doesn't look like there will be any precipitation until after the game and the temperature looks to be in the low 40s.

Seahawks' beer solution: Buy pint, get four ounces free
CBSSports.com wire reports
Jan. 8, 2011
SEATTLE -- The Seattle Seahawks enter the playoffs with a losing record. But the team's beer-drinking fans are starting off with a win.
The team investigated after a video posted on YouTube demonstrated that the large and small beers sold at Qwest Field contained the same amount of liquid -- even though one was marked 20 ounces and cost $1.25 more than the one marked 16 ounces.
The findings? The cups that were marked as containing 16 ounces actually held 20 ounces of beer.
First and Goal, the organization that runs Qwest Field, says it will try to find out how long the smaller-beer drinkers have been getting an extra 4 ounces.
For Saturday's game against the New Orleans Saints, the stadium is selling all 20-ounce domestic brews at the 16-ounce price.
Hawk fans will be juiced up

See? This guy who posted the Youtube video should have measured the amount first. If he did, he coulda kept his mouth shut and started buying 20oz beers at 16oz prices all the time. In the end, the fans have been making out!!!
