Re: How I think rest of Season will play out.
Yes because of necessity, not choice. Linebackers are typically there to stop the run, not cover tight ends unless there are third a long situations. Most teams don't have a guy like Chancellor to blanket tight ends so what choice do they have? What is a team suppose to do, we don't have any physical safeties so I guess we'll let Graham run free??

Re: How I think rest of Season will play out.
I don't, I think we would handle Denver.. I would love to see Welker, Decker and Thomas go against the legion of Boom. Denver already got a taste of them early this hear and they were manhandled by us. No amount of bias officiating is going to change that imo.

Re: How I think rest of Season will play out.
I could live with this scenario. It's gonna be hard to get the #1 otherwise.

They are not going to throw all over the place in my opinion, I think they will try to mix it up and control the clock. If they can't run on us they are cooked. Nobody has been able to just chuck it all over the field on us with our very physical secondary and our pass rush, which they will have to neutralize.

Felt like a 12th man takeover of this thread .. guess that would be falcon fans this year if they weren't losing.

Re: How I think rest of Season will play out.
Welcome Seahawks fans.... If you wish to have some fair discussion these are some points you may want to consider before posting.
1. You are not the only team with an injury report. You are also not the only team that gets players back once they are ready to play. So if you dont mind, we can dispense with (we are this good with x players hurt...) So are we. 2. "I feel"... Back it up with something more than just two words. Feelings are subjective and provide zero evidence of anything other than fanship. Empirical data, and Xs & Os are what we want to discuss. 3. You may see some "dumb comments".. Following that with a comparison between Wilson and Manning on a PvP is "dumb". Wilson is good because of Lynch, evidence is in the fact that your Passing Game is 24th in the league, your completion % is 8th and your over 100+ passing attempts behind the big boys. Your record is no more an indication of Wilson as a QB as Matt Ryans record was last year. * If you think nicely framed derogatory statements fly over our heads because we are a bunch of Deep South coon-ases your may want to rethink that. Dont assume we are slow and we will not assume you hug trees and hump whales. Capisce? So put the kool-aid down and lets talk ball. Lets talk match-ups. A solution for Jimmy Graham is not someone the same height... Lynch will be a hand full but if you go through our stats this season we have locked down some of the best RBs. This is not the defense of 2009/2010/2011/2012... let that soak in for a while. PS. The 12th man is a Texas A&M tradition. You pay a licensing fee to use it instead of trying maybe.. A little originality. <--see, that's proper smack talk. |

He did a bit of chucking, 2 TDs, quite a few first downs, and a 2 point conversion to Reggie Wayne.
I know you're cocky, but when it comes to facing an elite QB like Brees, I think you will find that your defense is not gonna look the same, as it does when it's playing against the Christian Ponders or Kellen Clemenses of the world. You had your hands full with Luck, and that's not even nearly the same level as Brees. |

Re: How I think rest of Season will play out.
We"ll beat Atlanta ... Seattle has yet to play an elite QB ... We play up to completion , it's the rams and Tampa that could mess up this entire seeding thing for us ... Seattle will drop 2-3 in a row ... I strongly believe well beat them , then San Francisco is coming off a 2 game losing streak and has them at home , then the giants are doing their back from the dead thing again and have Seattle at home ... Seattle might drop 3 in a row ... All we have to do is win the games were supposed to
