Luckily it's a sunny day (rare in the winter here). We are all borderline suicidal most of the winter and while it would be silly to jump off a bridge because the Seahawks lost, it could happen. And living under the second favorite suicide bridge, well, I'd just rather the Seahawks win, by luck or by whatever. I've seen enough splatter to last me a lifetime.

I just hope it isn't one of those absurd snow bowl games. BlueStreak Jan 2014 #3

I think it will be pretty one-sided BlueStreak Jan 2014 #2

I'll be rooting for Denver like a eissa Jan 2014 #4

I never liked Pete Caroll BlueStreak Jan 2014 #5

Wilson posted an 8.6 YPA JonLP24 Jan 2014 #9

He is an average QB who benefits from a stellar defense BlueStreak Jan 2014 #10

If you notice, I don't talk about Seattle's W-L or defense or any of that JonLP24 Jan 2014 #15

Now Matt Ryan is a good example of winning games due to defense & running game JonLP24 Jan 2014 #16

I agree wiyth you about Ryan, but not about the importance of yards per pass BlueStreak Jan 2014 #20

How do you grade for those things unless you have miles of film? JonLP24 Jan 2014 #22

I wasn't addressing those questions specifically at Wilson. They are for all QBs. BlueStreak Jan 2014 #24

I've never said he was a bad QB. BlueStreak Jan 2014 #19

Brian Burke who I mentioned up-thread JonLP24 Jan 2014 #23

You didnt watch them much this year, obviously AgingAmerican Jan 2014 #25

Me neither pipi_k Jan 2014 #11

Caroll does seem to be exceptionally fortunate with the calls BlueStreak Jan 2014 #12

Yep, I noticed that too... pipi_k Jan 2014 #17

There was one play where SF broke up a pass that would have been a crucial 3rd down conversion BlueStreak Jan 2014 #21

You mean you don't like a classless drug abuser? mythology Jan 2014 #6

Medium scoring. All about Bronco's O vs. Seahawks D. Classic matchup. Mayberry Machiavelli Jan 2014 #7

That's how I see it also. BlueStreak Jan 2014 #14

Seattle doesn't blitz all that much. Wounded Bear Jan 2014 #26

I wouldn't get too confortable in the Seattle defensive schemes BlueStreak Jan 2014 #27

Well... Wounded Bear Feb 2014 #28

Correct, but this isn't a typical match-up BlueStreak Feb 2014 #29

Yeah, if you consider 6-2 on the road "so-so" Wounded Bear Feb 2014 #30

High scoring JonLP24 Jan 2014 #8

On the fence pipi_k Jan 2014 #13

Thinking of Manning and defenses that allow below 6.0 (Seattle is at 5.8) JonLP24 Jan 2014 #18

Yeah, hard to call... Wounded Bear Feb 2014 #32

It was totally unexpected... AsahinaKimi Feb 2014 #33

Not to me... Wounded Bear Feb 2014 #34
