Tampa Bay

The Bucs are arguably the softest opponent remaining on Seattle's schedule. And that's frightening.

Especially when one considers that Tampa has the best run defense in the league.

They've been getting toasted on the back end though. So of course the Hawks will make Penny inactive and run the same inside zone play with Carson (Prosise short yardage) right at F'n Ndamukong Suh for 4 quarters

Also, Tampa allows the second most passing yards per game. That means, undoubtedly, that the seahawks will focus on trying to establish the ground game throughout the 1st half.

Winston is a turnover machine lately. If the Seahawks are going to win this, Norton had better figure out a way to get pressure on the opposing QB.

Was listening to Gregg Bell this morning and he said that they have the "best" run D because nobody has felt the need to run on them because their pass D is so terrible. They have the fourth least rushing attempts against in the NFL.

I wouldn't expect PC to cower and abandon the run. Just a hunch.

Well, since their m.o. is to zig where everyone else zags i fully expect the seahawks to open the game with 12 straight runs (and no first downs).

Gregg Bell's assessment would be dead on accurate
If only we had a top QB and some young, fast WR to attack their secondary with.

Well, Josh Freeman couldn't get it done, and now it appears as though Winston isn't the guy. Some of these players look great in college, but struggle to transition to the NFL.

Tough times in Tampa.

Its tough to find a good QB. Just ask the Jets, the Dolphins, the Browns, the Redskins, the Bills, the Raiders, the Jaguars, the Titans, the Vikings the Bears................

We are blessed....

The last time they came to town was 2013. We were 7-1 and they were 0-7. We were 18 point favs. They took a 24-7 lead in the fourth quarter before we came back to win in OT 27-24. lol

Sounds familiar.....
