Contenders Corner (Playoff Contenders) Week 1

I may be totally off base, but I think you have to play Seattle like we did the Bears in Chicago in 2013.

BE PATIENT.

Take the gains on the ground and in the short passing game and live to play another down. Don't struggle on every play for another yard and risk a turnover because they are so good at forcing turnovers and limiting YAC.

I think a consistent running attack wears down their D after 3 quarters and they can be had - BUT you have to stay in striking distance on the scoreboard for those first 3 quarters and play good defense.

IF Ingram has really turned the corner, we can wear them down with him and KRob pounding the ball while PT & BC gas them on the short passes.

But I digress - first things first. Let's take the ATL Sunday and then the next 15 on the schedule...
