Saints last 3 games against Seattle (some stats that Seattle fans won't like)

These are the games we've played against them in the Payton/Brees era:

Away 2011/01/08 Seattle Seahawks 41 - New Orleans Saints 36 L ** NFC WILDCARD **
Home 2010/11/21 Seattle Seahawks 19 - New Orleans Saints 34 W
Away 2007/10/14 Seattle Seahawks 17 - New Orleans Saints 28 W

In this stretch:

OFFENSE

We are averaging 32.6 points against Seattle.
We are averaging exactly 32 points against them AT Seattle.

DEFENSE

Our defense has averaged 25.6 points given up against them.
Our defense AT Seattle for both games has given up an avg. of 29 points. So we're still +3 if we factor in our avg. amount of points scored at Seattle in our last two games there.

If you take out that one absolutely retarded run by Lynch, that number goes down to 23.3 points per game given up by our defense in that 3 game stretch. (And we probably would have won that playoff, as well). Also, it's possible that our 2013 defense might be the best we've had in the Payton era. (If not, easily 2nd best after the 2009 defense)

In our two wins against them, the avg. margin of victory was 13 points. Again, if you subtract that one Lynch run we win that game but our avg. margin of victory goes down to 9.3 points.

Summary: We match up much better against Seattle (even AT their house) better than what the talking heads might have you believe. In the last 3 games we have played against them, we have scored more points than the previous meeting.

Not taking anything away from Lynch (because that dude is really a beast), but even with him playing lights out against our major weaknesses at defense for that playoff game, they still only won by 5 points.

Just some stats for you.
