Since SF is in....

[MizzouHawkGal]

IF SF wins they have to play in Seattle

Only if the Saints lose in round 1.

That's done given they play Philadelphia outdoors and on the road.

It's playoff time and every team is dangerous home or away.

Philly has had a pretty bad home record this year, to be fair. Saints have been a shaky road team, to be sure, but I wouldn't say playing at home actually is helping the Eagles as much as other teams in the playoffs.

High of 12 forecast for Green Bay on Sunday. Ugh.

 

[MizzouHawkGal]

True about Philadelphia but New Orleans is straight horrible outside and have never won a playoff game on the road regardless of location.

The forty whiners are the team I would least like to play in the divisional round.

Hawks get the easy win on Saturday
We get the tough physical game on Sunday
Then we travel to Seattle for the NFCCG
Lemme guess, our running game will be completely crippled again to make for the perfect repeat of 2005

Actually we will have a faster better cover Linebacker to Shadow Steve Smith all day and piss him off

Malcom Smith I assume?

I think all of them are faster and better at coverage then the 2005 group. But wasn't Bentley the guy we used on him all game, played mostly special teams.

I don't remember to be honest..

Well regardless it was a gamble that paid off, nobody would even think a LB would cover him, basically it was Browner on him all game on the line frusterating him to where he took himself out of the game by shutting himself down.

We will just use a gameplan similar to New Orleans just put Sherman or Maxwell on him and let the linebackers and Thurmond handle the rest.

A third of your defense was on him. We didn't have a single receiver who could take advantage of being open all game long. The fact that all four of our RBs were out and we had a back up ST gunner at RB really didn't help.

*sigh*
Unfortunately, you probably only need a linebacker to cover 34 year old Smitty.

What would be the hardest schedule for them to have before they come to the Clink?

It's an odd question. Obviously, the HARDEST schedule BEFORE coming to the Clink would be to play TWO games, not one. So that automatically means they go to Green Bay, then Carolina. However, I really don't see NO winning on the road in an outdoor stadium, let alone beating Philly, which is a really underrated team.

I expect if they get past Green Bay, they'll be coming here next.

Would you consider the Superbowl a playoff game? The Saints won a superbowl and it was not in the Superdome. It was outdoors in Miami. They have a top 5 defense. Philly is overrated like most teams from the NFC East. I think the Saints will beat the Eagles in Philly.

We had one special teams LB on him that had some cover skills that just jammed the hell out of him. Old news but accurate.
