They may not be as strong as last year, but the seahawks are so bad that even if the saints have a bad game they probably still end up stumbling into the next round.

saints win 20-13

It's a long shot, sure, but I've seen better teams than the Saints (The Chargers) lose to much worse teams than the Seahawks (The Bengals) this year.

...and that game was about as big as it got for SD this season. 🙁

Classic "trap" game NE players thought they could waltz into Cleveland and move on to Pitt next week for the "real" game but as we've seen before any day you don't show up you can get hammered...
 
Confident in a Ravens victory over Kansas City.

If our offense shows up, I don't think anyone will beat us.

Big "if."
 
It is not looking good for the Saints. Freakin Thomas, Ivory and Graham are all in IR. No Bueno my friends

Jimmy Graham isn't on IR, but is doubtful. The running game doesn't matter, Payton is a master at creating favorable matchups. When the Saints need chain-moving plays, look for perimeter tosses and screens to Reggie Bush, keeping the Seattle defense honest.

Ultimately, though, there won't be balance on offense. Brees is going to have to air it out. And thats just the way Payton and Brees like it.

I know Brees has been throwing a lot of INT's lately, but the Seachickens simply have no secondary - and Brees always picks it up when games matter. I wouldn't be worried personally, the SeaChickens are a joke of a team. It may say they are a playoff team, but thats simply a technicality

The same guy that lit up the Jets last year when Revis shut down Wayne, now you want off?

I wanted the Colts to trade him in the offseason for a draft pick, figuring his stock was as high as it was going to get. The guy is terribly inconsistent. He'll make these one-handed circus catches that no one should make and then turn around and drop the passes that hit him in the hands.

IIRC, he dropped a couple of big ones in the Super Bowl as well, including one that would've been a first down on a crucial third down play. I guess with all the injuries we've had this year we did need him, but let's not forget he was also banged up earlier in the year. Now, with the careers of Gonzalez and Collie in jeopardy, we may have to keep him around.

not to mention this year he will have cromartie on him instead of some 4th stringer.

Manning and the Colts will no doubt have a much tougher time of it this year especially without Clark and Collie. It remains to be seen if Tamme and White can step up and fill in for them in a game this important.
 
I don't care about who wins them. only one i want is for Green Bay to lose. that's all i care about this weekend.
 
Seahawks have a shot as long as brees turns it over at least twice.

In other news...I'm here in Tucson and all channels are going to be news on Gabrielle Giffords all day. I was hoping to watch some football to get my mind off this sad story but I don't think the game is going to come on locally.

Anywhere I can watch a live stream of saints/seahawks that isn't awfulbad quality and buffering every 3 seconds?
 
Mayock and Hammond announcing. 7-9 division winner. NBC post and halftime show.
This could be the worst playoff game ever.
