Seattle does not scare me at all. They won 8 at home, one with the help of replacement refs, had a neutral site game vs the bills that was like a home game, they won 2 other games on the road all year and had a stupid easy schedule. Playing in Seattle is a different story, but playing them at home, I think the skins got the easiest team to beat in the playoffs in their first round match up.
Golden Tate annoys me, Sherman should be suspended & I really wouldn't mind seeing Pete Carroll get knocked out on the sideline during a game, so it would feel nice to beat Seattle on top of the payback I already want from them.
This team looks like it could make a dirty roll deep into the playoffs, dirty in the sense wins won't come by the conventional 300 yards passing with 4 TD's, I think the wins will come the way the opportunities present themselves to RG3. If running Alfred 30+ times vs Seattle works, they will do that, & if RG3 has to scamper for first downs while running outside if the pocket vs SF, then that's what they will do. With RG3 at the helm, I have all the confidence he will lead them to a win one way or another.
Well a few things. We all know Seattle is terrible traveling, has been for a very long time. Also our defense has been practicing against RG3 so they will be prepared in that aspect. I am just hoping the crowd is rocking like it was last night and we can do what we did last night, control the clock and control the lead
Jan 14 2005 - what a crappy birthday. I am sick of losing to this damn team, we need to send them hom packing
The Seattle offense worries me a lot less than the Cowboys' did. Marshawn Lynch is a stud, but as a collective unit I will take Wilson/Lynch/Rice/Tate/Baldwin/Miller over Romo/Murray/Bryant/Austin/Ogletree/Witten every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
This game will come down to "how disruptive can our 12th man be," and does our O bring it to their D.
We also hardly turn the ball over, so you won't see them getting short field position the way they did against the 9ers.
Seattle has been playin' some good ball lately, can't blame 'em for drubbing weak teams, you play the schedule they give you. Lynch has been an absolute beast, no denying it.
There's no shame in admitting the other team is good, I know a lot of people are out of practice at it but this is what the playoffs are about. I'm thrilled that we get them here instead @ Qwest, but this is gonna be an epic game.
If there's a game to emulate, it's the game that the Seahawks had against the Dolphins. The Seahawks had to travel across country, and the Dolphins racked up nearly 200 yards rushing against them.
Highlights of that game...

**** the Seahags. I'll be there in person... our 12th man has awoken!!!
Don't disrespect the Seahawks' offense. Between Marshawn Lynch and Russell Wilson's ability to extend plays with 10+ seconds of scrambling, we've got our work cut out for us. The keys will be for coverage to play until the whistle, and not flush Russell out of the pocket.
