Re: How We Will Beat Seattle

Brees threw all those passes in those losses because we were playing catch up. This time around we have a defense capable of holding things close until the offense gets it together.

People forget but we did some very nice things on defense in that Monday night blowout especially in the 2nd half. I won't completely dismiss the notion that Seattle let up just a bit, BUT schematically we seemed to have them more figured out.

If we have those adjustments in mind I think the defense can limit the Seahawks and keep the game relatively low-scoring which would be in our favor, IMO. This will need to be a gameplan based on field position and time of possession. Grind it out. I don't think that necessarily means that you have to run the ball way more than you pass, but you do have to be very strong on 3rd down and keep the chains moving and their offense on the sideline.

I think I know what we have to do to beat Seattle.

Bingo! With no giveaways and a couple of sustained drives in the first half, this is a completely different game than the last time.

Re: How We Will Beat Seattle

balance of pass and run and a mean defense...

our defense has a huge chip on their shoulder for the seachickens.

count on that.

Re: How We Will Beat Seattle

decisively with no lingering questions

Re: How We Will Beat Seattle

Heavy doses of M.Ingram - K.Robinson. Make Seahawk's safeties-linebackers respect the run. Air it out when opportunity arises .....

Because the rest of them realized they would be riding the bench too if they didn't start playing like they're capable of.
