I'm curious, do y'all think it was strictly Seattle's home-field advantage that helped them dominate the Saints, or do you think it would have been a different story if the game had been played in New Orleans? I'd like to think the Saints would have played better, but Seattle just owned them on every facet of the game last night.

The team that showed up last night wouldn't have beat anyone, anywhere.

#1: The Seahawks played their best game of the season
#2: The Saints played their worst game of the season.

I'd imagine the home field played a big part in that.

Okung is pulled from the game after 8 straight holding penalties that are actually flagged.

I think it did help.
In no way do I think Seattle is 4 TDs better than us. Remember they almost lost to St. Louis and Tampa Bay.

I dont think it would have mattered where they played that game. Seattle would have won 9 times out of 10

Game would have been closer, but Seattle still would have won

It's hard to say. Part of our problem was the crown noise and the inability to communicate on offense, which they would obviously have the same problem if they played in the Dome. But we had so many issues last night, that it wasn't just the location of the game.

I know the stadium was designed to reflect sound easily, and they have a great crowd as it is, but I do think the whole "Let's set a World Record tonight" thing is bullshite.

I saw a much stronger and faster team on the other side of the ball. Not to mention the effort/motivation.

(Except our run stoppers are bad arse. Hicks is an animal)

It was the most hostile environment I've ever been to.

The stadium was unbelievably loud and their defense fed off the energy
