    Well, being football fans I'd bet folks will watch both games.

    My picks:

    Saints, I think they can beat the Pats if they reach the super bowl

    Colts, though there will be some sentiment for JT to make a run, he is a Jet, I cannot and will not cheer for the Jets under any circumstances.:no:

    :lol:

    i think seattle might make this closer than most think. they are bad eneough that they could also get blown out however lol. i think if seattle keeps it close it will be because they exploit new orleans DEFENSIVE vulnerabilities in covering TEs and RBs in the passing game and being gashed on blitzes by run draws

    The Saints are going to pass to set up the run. Nearly half of the Saints playbook is Walsh's pass concepts and the ball control quick pass game. Their aerial attack comes from Coryell's O. Here's an example I cut up of a commentator breaking it down.

    its interesting in that i think the way to attack the seahawks defense is through the run. seattle's secondary is decent though small but they are horrendous stopping the run

    on offense for seattle i expect a lot of run draws and passes to the backs and TEs

    IMO Seattle's DB's are not that good. However, they do have game changing potential and that's what you need to be worried about IMO.

    agreed. but i think their pass defense is better than their run defense which makes it interesting a bit in that the saints pass offense is better then their run offense lol

    Saints should have been given a bye. Their only concern today is staying healthy.

    Roman Harper missing tackles is not great. It's only one so far but he's a box player. He struggles in coverage at times IMO.

    And there goes Roman Harper. IMO if Seattle stays in this game, it'll be because of their success on first down and (hopefully) turnover free ball.

    Something to wonder: many coaches and NFL Scouts are complaining about how a draft prospect is not running a pro style offense but with so many teams in shotgun spread with empty sets or 10 personnel in the NFL, is the complaint of a lack of a pro style system legitimate? In my opinion, in some cases yes but not in all. Look at Indianapolis, look at New England and here New Orleans. I watched Pat Devlin of Delaware last night and truth is, they were not doing much different than what I saw from New Orleans and New England. The Colts are a one back spread team but they run a ton of levels with tagging and I don't know how many college teams base their O around that. Now if a pro prospect goes to a team like Miami or San Diego, its a different story. Those two teams use the most 21 personnel in the NFL.

    David Hawthorne is a good player. Aaron Curry is as well but they don't always use him right IMO.

    They look slow in their drops Alen, and Tatupu badly misread the play on the first down reception to Shockey.

    Carrol made his bones as a defensive guy I'd bet he has some rollover this offseason on that unit

    When I talk about how Henne does not have the necessary athleticism to execute the qb duties, I mean like on that last play fake and draw by brees...The quickness he showed to set his feet then with a full fake throw to the right, than back to the handoff took great suddenness and footwork...

    Henne is not good and this is his major weakness imo

    I don't think they are slow, they are just not getting enough depth.

    And Matt Hasselbeck. He’s still good when healthy.

    As proven by that throw to #88.

    Touche.

    He's been making that throw for years now. Anyone remember the playoff game when Joe Jurevicius (sp?) ran a comeback route and Hasselbeck instructed him to tag on to the route to make it a vertical one while Hasselbeck was dropping back?

    Well, what I like so far is not any one player on the Seahawks, it is how they are using their offense to control the game, no 3 and outs keep the ball moving..exactly what we do not do in Miami.

    Both teams are on point on Special Teams as well, that is the third stop short of the 20 on a kick return.

    They have singled out Roman Harper today, eh? They are attacking him.

    EDIT: Brees! You can't do that!

    Damn, Seattle had 7 DB's on that play if I counted right. Usually see a Belichick coached team do that.

    Justin Forsett is a nice complementary back. Really strong lower body and he's built low to the ground because of his stature. I like him.

    Funny that the Saints are not using Bush on Returns for a playoff game.
