Anything can happen at that point, but the Saints have a strong home-field advantage. I'd like to keep it in Seattle if we have to see them again.

Mmmmm ... I peck away at these things an hour or so a night and then just whenever I get the chance. Way too much time definitely.

It's looking real good for HFA. Beating the Saints is obviously the key, and I feel this team's collective focus will trump the issues of bye week's past. Can't take anybody lightly, but clearly we're working from an advantage by hosting New Orleans at The Clink.
Jimmy Graham, meet Mr. Earl Thomas. BOOM!!!Hawkscanner":2xgv8kxb said:Zorn76":2xgv8kxb said:Hello Everybody,

I'll tell you what, I absolutely expected Drew Brees and the New Orleans offense to be able to move the ball pull this game out tonight -- and they did. Jimmy Graham is a force to be reckoned with and stopping him is going to be a real focal point of this game. What I didn't expect however, was that the New Orleans defense was going to decide to take the night off. Sure they were able to get 5 sacks and 10 QB Hits ... but they also allowed almost 300 yards passing and nearly 400 yards of total offense to a Falcons offense that frankly isn't all that good at the moment. I'm certainly encouraged by that. Those are good signs heading in to this upcoming game.

I dunno. Maybe it's just me, but I much rather prefer being the hunter rather than the hunted. While it's cool that the Seahawks are leading the pack and garnering some national attention, I'd almost rather be that team that's laying in the weeds who will rise up during playoff time and bite you. It sure doesn't sound as if all this front runner stuff is getting in to the players' heads. Hopefully it stays that way and they keep in mind what Pete keeps preaching to them -- we haven't truly won or accomplished anything yet.
