Seahawks winning 10-3 at halftime.

I was kind of surprised, so I looked at the stats of each team. Seahawks actually match-up fairly well against the Eagles.

Eagles have the #1 run defense & the Seahawks are a below average running team, so I wouldn't expect much success by Seattle in that department.

The Eagles give up passing yards, though. The Seahawks have a shitty O-Line, but they're holding every edge guy not named Brandon Graham in check in the sack department. Fletcher Cox is an elite sack guy on the interior, but he's been held in check so far.

Settle isn't as good as they usually are on defense & they have key injuries, but they're still a solid defense.

Not saying the Seahawks will win, but it should be a close game.

If the Seahawks take that division and we win ours it actually helps with the seeding. Iirc we'd be 3rd with a real shot at 1st in a 3 way tie.

Eagles are the biggest piece of the puzzle to us getting home field. We need them to lose tonight and against the Rams.


Makes sense. Go Seahawks

It's why I thought it was crazy everyone assumed they'd just win out. Two west coast games against two tough teams back to back is brutal.



Yea, I assumed they had at least 1 loss left on the schedule.

Just finished watching TWD and put it on when he fumbled through the end zone. Nice

Looks like they've got their hands full right now @Seattle. @Rams is a damn tough game. They'll easily handle the Giants & Raiders.

Pretty sure Zeke Elliot will be back when the Eagles play the Cowboys in the last week of the season. Tyron Smith is also playing now. I wouldn't call that game a gimme.

Hopefully the Seahawks pull this out, b/c the Eagles still have 2 games that could give them trouble.

Seattle oline looks problematic.

Hell there's a scenario if we win out and the Rams and Minny both go 13-3 that the Eagles lose too many games and frick us out of that tie we need to be in with them and one or two other teams.

Where is a good spot to watch Saints games? Some friends and I will be in Seattle for NYE and were looking into. Any good spots for the LSU bowl game would be much appreciated also.

They have one of the worst O-Lines in the league. Thankfully Wilson can move around & escape the pocket better than any QB in the NFL (it's almost impossible to sack him unless he stands too long in the pocket). If they produce in the passing (which they are)...it will probably be in spite of their O-Line.

Wilson has been damn good this year. Imagine how good he'd be with a legit O-Line & better receiving weapons.

If our corners are healthy, we beat both of these teams.

I like RW, always have. His idol in college was Drew Brees. Amazing talent.

I agree if our O-Line shows up as well.

Our front 7 (losing Okafor does hurt though) & offensive skill players (to go along with Brees) have been pretty steady all year. Usually pass coverage & O-Line play are the 2 unknowns if we have any.

The good thing about Seattle winning is that it also helps keep our division rivals in the playoffs. It's really hard to beat one team three times.

You mean it keeps them out of the playoffs?

At the same time, I think I'd rather Car or Atl over Sea. Definitely want Car a third time. We match up EXTREMELY well against them sans Olsen.
