What da heck, no game thread yet? Maybe I go after the new x4 shortest game thread record.

Not a fan of Seattle, but would love to see them knock the piss out of the Saints. Would be great if it were a repeat of the playoffs two years ago.
Zoolander and Bree's drive me nuts with their constant stat padding.
I am not a Pete Carroll fan. In fact, can't stand him. I hope he chokes on that freakin gum.
I want to see both teams lose. Lots of smug bastards on both sides.
Was mentioned by someone else a few weeks ago so I can't take credit, but Pete Carroll looks like a 60 year old lesbian.
Liking what I'm seeing so far. I've watched the Saints several times this year, and they're a COMPLETELY different team away from the Superdump. Most teams are different on the road, but if they don't get HFA in the playoffs, they'll struggle toadvance.
Is there a team that jibber jabbers more after plays than the seahags?
Lots of gum flappin'.
Never been a fan of trash talking and the "after play antics".
I like Russell Wilson ok but I am really hatin' on the Seahags 2nite. Pete Carroll is a tool and I'm still not over the fail mary. Not so much the refs but Seattle's dickish reaction.
I LOVE what I'm seeing so far. Would love to see Seattle take the 2nd half KO down the field and score. Then Brees can dink and dunk the ball down field playing catch up but making sure he keeps his completion percentage high.
I don't say this lightly, but Russell Wilson may have just played the best all-around half of football I've ever seen at QB. Great decisions, timely and effective running, throwing extremely well.
14-19, 226 yards, 2 TDs passing; 5 rushes for 38 yards. Lordy.
Never did understand some of the hate of Wilson on here. Where could the Badgers be if he was QBing them this year? They could very easily be #1 or 2 in the BCS.
Didn't Zack Miller just get tackled out of bounds???
No holding because the quarterback had already left the pocket??? So uh, it's legal to hold during a running play?
So now holding is OK if the qb started to run out of the pocket?
Followed by the requisite bogus roughing the passer call.
AR's playoff game in Atlanta was the cleanest 60 minute evisceration of a team on the road I've ever seen. Still my benchmark of a QB playing at a different level.
Lots to like about Wilson. He's good. But I want to see him play a flawless road game. He's a different QB home / away. I think Seattle plays in SF next week??? That will be a great test.

Chilli, you gots me there and you're absolutely right. Getting old, I guess, but also Rodgers' play has been so consistently good that it's easy to forget which of his games are all-timers.
The thing about Wilson, going back to college and now pro, is the quality of his decision making and his unflappable demeanor. So mature for a young player.
These roughing the passer calls are just brutal.

Would love to see the 'hags hang a 40-burger on the Saints!
Hate both of these teams and coaches, but hoping that the Aints have a comeback for the ages

I hate Carroll too. He cheated the whole time at USC and then bailed before he could be punished. He'll get caught cheating in the NFL sooner or later.

Ummm, THAT many players using illegal substances has nothing to do with coaching?? Hmmmm.....
Mr. Gruden
You would pull Brees out of this game, but Payton won't. How will Drew pad the stats if he's sitting on the bench . Wouldn't be surprised to see Brees get a couple TDs in the last 11 minutes to make the stats respectable.
Agreed PackLand. Nobody pads their stats in garbage time like Drew Brees. Nice touch calling timeout down by 27 with 6 minutes left. Afterall Brees has to get to 200 yards for some stupid reason that Gruden mentioned earlier.
Reminds me of that TH night game last year in Atlanta when the Saints got completely smoked. Brees stayed in the game to the very nd, drinking and dunking to try to get that 1st TD pass to keep his streak alive. Never got the TD, but ended up throwing 5 picks.
Nothing like sacrificing your franchise QB (potentially) in order to keep a mostly meaningless stat alive.
FAIL!
Brees with less than 4 yards per attempt. The little screens weren't working tonight.
Seahawks looking really tough. All three phases.
Maybe some believers now.
This next game should be a good one. Battle of the big boys. Hopefully the pussy NFL
let's them play.
I think it's going to be really tough for any team to beat Seattle in their house. They remind me a lot of the Packers back in the mid 90's. It was pretty much a guaranteed W every time they took the field at home.
New Orleans had better be careful because Carolina is right on their heels and it's possible they could end up as a wild card which means they go on the road and they are a much different team away from the Superdome.
In fact, other than Seattle getting HFA I think the playoffs in the NFC could be very wide open and present some interesting matchups.
