If Green Bay really turns out to be our biggest obstacle in the NFC, then home field advantage will be HUGE. Brees, Bush & Co. could be rendered worthless in Green Bay if the weather is brutal.



Worthless? That is kind of a stretch huh? I mean Brees played at Purdue, Colston at Hofstra, and Pierre at Illinois so it is not like they have never played in the cold weather before. And I think Hollywood Bush would be ok as well.

Seriously, be a Saint. Become a fan. You might enjoy it.

Probably sh used the word "ineffective" as opposed to "worthless". Poor choice of words.

Couple of points, though. When the 2010 season starts, New Orleans will control their own destiny re home field advantage. My bigger point was, let's take care of business and not have to worry about playing a game in Green Bay in January, where the temp could be -0-, with a wind chill of -30. Sorry, but that would have a big effect on our #1 rated passing attack. If you ever get a chance to watch that Chicago game again, notice how many dropped passes we had. And it wasn't nearly as cold that day as it could have been.

Look, home field advantage probably made the difference between New Orleans and Minnesota last year, and weather would not have even been a factor in Minnesota.

That was my point. Home field is always a big deal, but the last thing the Saints want to do is play in Green Bay in January. So, take care of business so you don't have to.

ETA - I'm a huge fan. I just think playing GB at Lambeau in January would be really tough. Honest opinion, boys.
