In my mind, they MUST beat the 49ers this week on Sunday Night Football. Pete Carroll and the seahawks are 0-3 vs. harbaugh's 49ers -so very important for Seattle's psyche to win this game in front of a national TV audience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18324491422839023648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-30655021612852375932012-12-18T05:35:49.397-06:002012-12-18T05:35:49.397-06:00The thing that give me hope is the fact that your ...The thing that give me hope is the fact that your two most frustrating losses have come on the road at 10am. I honestly believe that if we had played Detroit and Miami at 1pm pst that we would have beat them both. In the playoffs, I'm pretty sure that there is no 10am games. So if that is true, I think we can beat anyone on the road.<br /><br />Holy shit, I'm loving this season. Even if we're one and one in the playoffs, we have a top 10 QB for the next 10 to 15 years. This is awesome!Mind of no mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11575073139463945293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-40734748049129429262012-12-17T17:57:41.233-06:002012-12-17T17:57:41.233-06:00The Hawks are qualitatively better.

Their stats have generally been on an upward spiral since the season began. The receivers dropped more passes in the first game than any other game. Everyone knows how Russell Wilson has improved (Like the WolfBadger, I'll have to use that.), you spoke of the offensive line's improvement (time together is the biggest factor for continued offensive line improvement), and the defense's improvement is also evident, especially when they can plug in players and still play at a higher level. <br /><br />Over the season, Marshawn Lynch has improved. He might not be getting the yards that he should, because of improvement other where, but his yards per attempt have steadily climbed. he has also become a greater threat in the pass game.<br /><br />The passing game has improved. The Wolfbadger is the main result of that, but there are other substantial reasons, too. With the improved play of the line, Zach Miller and Anthony McCoy are now free to release, and be more involved in the pass game. The receivers have not only dropped fewer passes as the season has progressed, but they've consistently caught passes that weren't even tried for in the past.<br /><br />I guess that I am still optimistic. After San Francisco went in and beat a team no one thought that they had a chance with, and Arizona stomped Detroit, I believe that Arizona can win in week 17.<br /><br />There are more parallels with the '86 season. The one that jumps out though is that the Hawks lost the division to a Denver team with a tie. The Hawks were also the only team to beat both Super Bowl participants (the Giants and Broncos). The Seahawks have already beaten the Patriots and themselves at least three times, so I see that parallel again. This year, no team has scared me. I've only been worried about the Hawks beating themselves. Their maturity level has finally gotten to the point that I don't forsee them beating themselves again. <br /><br />All in all, this team has improved on so many levels, and right now, I feel that the Hawks are the best team.<br />neurocellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682975810327678648noreply@blogger.com
