*Official Playoff Thread* Saints vs Sea Hawks, Jets v Colts

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

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

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

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.

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

As proven by that throw to #88.

wow. what an amazing pass

tight ends killing new orleans lol

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.

I wonder what is going through Gregg Williams head right now.

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!

Did anyone hear that commentator say about 10 mins ago that their stadium was built specifically for crowd noise?

must be fun

What a great playoff atmosphere for the seachickens

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.

thats how you stop the spread. of course you need 7 DBs lol but if you have the small quick guys the spread is easily nullified

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

spoke too soon?

Really surprised Leon Washington has not had more of a role so far.

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

curry is a bit of a bust considering where he was drafted but he's ok overall. kinda like chris long in st louis

Man if the Seahawks can pull this off it's going to be the biggest upset in NFL Playoff history.

Look at the Seahawks, never underestimate a hungry team that is playing at home and has nothing to lose. I guess we know this 7-9 team is way ahead of the Dolphins, at least on offense. They aren't just happy to be there like the 2008 Dolphins, seeing a team like this giving the defending champion Saints everything they can handle kind of makes that 2008 playoff game bother me more. Oh well.

Olindoooooooo Mare!

Seahawks need to take a chance after a turnover if they want to win.

Seahawks recover a fumble, and run the ball 3 straight times and kick a FG. Dan Henning has not retired.
