Alright, I did this before for our Week 13 Matchup and since I felt that it went really well, thought it might be cool to roll this idea out once again.
Like last time, we appear to have quite a few Saints Fans visiting us, so I thought it would be cool to have an open invitational thread to Saints Fans to share their insights/thoughts on the Saints ... and of course vice versa for Seahawks fans.
Here's the ground rules once again (I'll repeat exactly what I wrote then) -- I'd like for this thread to be a Q&A thread both for Saints Fans ... and for Seahawks Fans. Above all, I want this to be a respectful discourse. Let me put my Dad hat on here for a second and say that I really want to stress respect here. No provoking comments, degrading jokes, smack talk, etc here. If you guys want to do that outside of this thread or in the Smack Shack -- fine. Whatever. Not here alright. Moderators (Radish and others) I'm really hoping for your support again on this, as I want this to be a clean Q&A friendly discourse here. We can disagree obviously, just do so in a respectful manner. I'd like for Saints Fans to feel welcome to honestly share ... because you get the best answers and best discourse that way. Let them see what I already know to be true -- that Seahawks.net is the best NFL fan forum out there bar none. OK?
So, Hawks fans, ask your questions about the Saints ... and I'm hoping Saints fans will feel free do the same and ask us about our team. The idea is to get more educated about each others' teams rather than simply preaching to the choir or talking past one another.
That said, let me be the first to start and I'll begin with a couple of general questions ...
Saints fans, thanks for joining us this week. Would you be so kind as to answer the following intro questions ...
1) Since that 34-7 Loss to Seattle in Week 13, can you recount (from your perspective) how the rest of the regular season went for the Saints? How did the team look to you and do you have any concerns moving forward?
2) Have the Saints suffered key injuries (or even nagging injuries that might not necessarily show up on the official injury report, but are nonetheless concerning)? If so, how have those injuries affected your team ... and how do you envision those at all playing a roll in this game?
3) Last time, it appeared to me that the Seahawks coaching staff was able to effectively exploit weaknesses in the Saints Defense and their approach to that game. How do you envision Rob Ryan attacking Seattle's Offense this time around? Can you give us your assessment of what you believe will be the Saints plan of attack and how effective that will be?
