Nothing too impressive about Seattle's Defense either. Our defense did a lot better against Palmer and the Cards.

Really? Seattle sacked Palmer seven (7) times ( vs 4 for us ) ( and they knocked him down another 6 times ) from which the Cards lost 54 yards vs. only 26 yards lost when we sacked him. AZ total yards were 234 against the Seahawks vs 247 against the Saints. They only got 30 yards rushing against SEA vs 86 yards against us. So, the Cardinals offense is not that good.

But Seattle's defense not too impressive huh? After 6 games, they are #2 in the league in total defense and their secondary is nicknamed "The Legion of Boom". But, hey, I sure hope for our sake, that you are the expert.

#2 in the league is only in yardage.. similar to us being worst in 2012 in yardage... points, 3rd/4th down conversions and penalties are what has the greater impact.

What this game boils down to is can the Seahawks stop our offense? Their defense is very comparable to ours in regards to points allowed with just over 1/2 a point separating them. Our defense is better in both 3rd and 4th down percentages.. Their defense has also given up 140+ more yards in penalties than ours. We also have them in ToP.

Wilson rarely has over 30 passing attempts and even then, better Defenses (Colts/49ers/Texans) have kept his Comp% down around 50%. Seattles offense is lopsided and if we stop Lynch... They are irrelevant.

At worst or best depending on how you look it is its a fairly even match up with the exception that they run better and we pass better.
