I know, some of the blame goes to Payton too but you get my point.

I expect us to win this game, but I don't think we're going to see what we'd all like to see and that is a dominant performance by all phases of the team, Offense, Defense and especially Special Teams.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm still not sold on Ingram and I'd love to see us bring 4 RB's to this game, seeing how they're all somewhat nicked up and how we lost every RB we had in that playoff game and we didn't even have JG in that game as well.

What I'd like to see is some determination from our entire team. Like I said, that's what I'd like to see, but more than likely, we'll see a timid team with the jitters that won't settle down until the 3rd qtr. if at all, and wind up getting a lucky FG at the end to win it. Not a confidence inspiring win, just a win.

my concern is Seattle flipping the script on Ryan and going hurry-up
our defense looked beyond confused for half the game against New England
Ryan best plan won't mean anything if we can't get the right personnel out there
