...and THAT attitude is something I am just a wee bit concerned by...
However, so far this year, despite not playing well most of the year, the Saints have played VERY well in "must win" situations, so I'm expecting no less tomorrow afternoon.

I just picked up on the news that John Elway is the vice president of football operations for the Broncos. Now that is a stretch. Bowlen must figure Elway's Arena League management skills will transfer seamlessly to the NFL level?
Either way, Elway is a Tebow backer, so I'm all for the move.

The Seahawks like to brag about the 12th man and how it can impact games, and it has over the years. But it is worth mentioning that as I am typing this post, there are still tickets for sale to the game Saturday afternoon. Not just the crappy nosebleed or obstructed view ones either.

Wow.
:scowl:
...that's inexcusable from a fan-base.
Guess who'll be filling those seats, if they don't get on it...that 12th man may be chanting WHO DAT! over the locals...
#1 jersey sold on NFL.com from April 1, 2010-January 2, 2011?
Troy Polamalu. That surprised me.

Unknot your panties.
There are more non-Saints fans bitching about this than Saints fans. Further, there are even a few SEAHAWKS fans questioning the situation.
The Saints should have taken care of business during the regular season (inexcusable losses at AZ and Cleveland, "coulda-woulda-shoulda loss in week 3 to Atlanta), if they had, they'd have home field advantage. I am not happy about the situation, and don't think that the 'Hawks have any genuine right to be even PLAYING this weekend, much less hosting a game, but the bottom line is that the Saints played themselves out of hosting games and a bye.
Now they gotta take care of business on the road - at least for the next two weeks (if Green Bay wins in Philly & Atlanta - both games they CAN win, and NOLA wins out, the NFCCG is in the Superdome again). If they don't then they don't deserve to make it to the big dance this season, and they have no one to blame but themselves.
(...see, I am capable of being rational...)

Yep. Very inexcusable anyway, but especially from these guys who brag about their fans all the time.
We're going up extra early tomorrow in hopes of finding some NOLA fans to hang out with, show them around town maybe.

Cool, have fun man, I wish I could have afforded the trip and the tix myself...it DID cross my mind for just an instant. But I is broken...so my local brewpub will have to suffice.
Enjoy!

I don't want you guys to get complacent, gotta throw the curve ball once in a while, act all sane and rational.
...I'm certain you all know it is an act.
Did you catch my post about the SB? I have friends right near the Cowboys stadium, so we have a place to stay. If we both make it to the SB, road trip to Dallas.

Watching Hawks/Saints game and have a question:
Did anybody tell either defense that there was a game today?

At the half, this game is a lot of fun to watch. I am so glad I have absolutely no concern as to who wins.
Exactly. The game is going to come down to coaching. Whoever makes the best adjustments should take this.
Can't believe what the Seahawks are doing to the Saints. Looks like the visitors are only putting 10 men on the field when the home team gets in the red zone.
