Spent the week in Seattle.

I know it's "kill the saints week" but still wanted to share.

I spent the whole week in Seattle, listening to local sports radio and talking with a bunch of hawks fans. Let me tell you, if we can focus and get to a rematch, the hawks fans and local sports guys are very concerned about the rematch.

I couldn't tell you how many times I heard the local sports guys talking about our defense and how we or the 49'rs are really the 2 teams capable of pulling the upset.

Even in the airport on the way out a hawks fan was beside me at the bar and seen my panther watch and just started the conversation with: "those guys scare me, (pointing at my watch) I told everyone to watch out."

Nothing earth shattering, but trust me we are not off the radar, not in hawks country.

So come on panthers!!!!! I want that rematch!!!!

Ok; back to killing the saints on Sunday...

They honestly don't think they can lose in that stadium.

Which is truly an absurd thought. As I posted before, if that were the case, then why have they only been to two conference championship games in their history? They have lost there before, will lose there again (heck almost lost to the Bucs this year), and better teams have lost home playoff games recently. Gonna be a sad day in the suicide capital come January.

Thing is, we could get a home playoff game hosting say the bears while Seattle hosts the 49ers. Niners win and we get to host the Division.

Dreams...

Exactly, the 2 seed may possibly be even better than the 1. And even if they do beat the 49ers, IMO it would be an emotional, physical game, the exact opposite of 2005 when we played that physical game with the Bears on a Sunday and flew to Seattle with no RB depth, while they hosted the Redskins on a Saturday before and were fresh.

    • Remember our cap only counts the highest 51 contracts.  Many of these guys could be had for near or vet minimum contracts.  Cutting those contracts has no real cap ramifications.  Many of these guys played too much last year and didn't serve the role of depth players.  Even though they didn't perform as starters, they could serve a valuable depth pieces.  If we draft well, get healthy, and sign a few quality free agents, many would be in position to play a part of this team that serves both well.   Take a look at this link and you will see some interesting stats in regard to playing time.  FYI, Xavier Woods played 100% and Mike Jackson played nearly 99% of defensive snaps.  They were the only two players above 95%.  Hunt was the next highest at 93% and he missed the final game. Unrestricted FA's QB Andy Dalton - I like him, but we could get someone like Cooper Rush or Minshew for the same $$$$ we are paying him. C Austin Corbett - Incentive laden and team friendly C Brady Christensen - top swing OL pay replace Yosh Nijman TE Tommy Tremble - Lock him up now, multi-year cheap.  He's not even 25.  He will get much better. TE Ian Thomas TE Feleipe Franks - ST minimum deal WR David Moore - minimum deal RB Mike Boone DE DeShawn Williams - minimum deal (PS?) OLB Cam Gill LB Shaq Thompson - only if it is a minimum with incentives.  Think late career TD or Jeremiah Trotter.  Player coach CB Mike Jackson - He's going to cost more than we think, but keep the man!! CB Caleb Farley - minimum deal to prove it if he is FINALLY healthy S Xavier Woods S Jordan Fuller S Nick Scott S Sam Franklin - not breaking the bank.  He is ST only. S Lonnie Johnson P Johnny Hekker - if the price is right K Eddy Piñeiro LS JJ Jansen - Can't remember a bad snap over the past 10 years.  According to Google is hasn't happened since 2010.  Resign tomorrow. RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS  C Cade Mays - 3 million right of first refusal. WR Deven Thompkins - minimum deal RB Raheem Blackshear - minimum deal.  I like him, but he didn't show much when given his shot on offense. WR Velus Jones Jr. WR Dan Chisena - minimum (PS) EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FREE AGENTS DE LaBryan Ray - It's cheap, bottom roster PS guy LB Chandler Wooten - It's cheap, bottom roster PS guy
    • Maybe he has grown, but his play calling/style was AWFUL when he was here. Please don't try to remember this with rose colored glasses after the fact.  Your average fan could predict the plays at home most of the time. We were not running an NFL offense and it 100% showed.  Glad he is doing well for himself, but the decision to let him go at the time was 100% right. 
    • And then there's this... I c certainly don't feel like parting with Canales, but the silly, speculative part of me wonders what we could get for him 😄
