Dolphins seem like a team with a bit of talent but IDK how it's all supposed to fit together or what the identity is.

Saint look very crisp at home on offense and defensive pass rush looks much improved.

Also, Sproles and Graham, stating the obvious, are going to be hell to contain all season.

Good thing we have them at home.


Plus, messy game with bad weather, Saints are going to have a tough time running it against Red, Bane, McDonald...

When Drew Brees is on he will tear apart any defense in the NFL. Even on blitzes he rifles the ball into the perfect spot for big plays. Always been a big Brees fan so I'm glad they're looking like their old team.

If their defense can stay in the top 15-20 overall they should be our biggest competition in the NFC. Having our ridiculous home field advantage will help get after him cause I'm not too worried about our offense against their defense. That'll be a great game.

Yeah, that game is looming huge in NFC as it stands right now, should be a classic and hopefully Seattle can take that one.

I don't think it would matter (the location) ... usually when the Saints lose,
it's because Brees throws INT's, or the dreaded Pick 6. Pressure him up the
middle with a strong pass rush, and he can be had.

Their strength plays to ours. Our secondary (combined with the 12 and the elements) will make things tough for Brees and they might as well not even try to run. Their D should stay properly gassed.

I haven't been watching super closely, but it seems like every time I look up Mike Wallace drops a pass.

The Wallace deal was a knee-jerk typically reserved for over-rated and/or over-hyped QBs.

The guy is more track star than football player and IMO, they paid him twice what he's worth. Ouch.

Granted, it would be no "cake walk" in the Super Dome, but in SEA,
I'd put my coin on the Hawks. If Alex Smith, and Kap with a good
defensive effort can beat them, then why can't Seattle?

A likely opponent in the playoffs, all the more reason HFA is critical to a Super Bowl run.

Gonna be a good MNF game. Seahawks will win, of course.
