After reading this thread, I have to think that the Seahawks will pick off three passes, run the ball down their throats and win 35-17.

Running the ball would be Pete Carroll's moronic thinking. T.B is the #1 rushing defense in the NFL and one of the worst against the pass. If Pete chooses not to open it up and throw early and often, I'm going to be majorly pissed off. If it's another of those games where Seattle goes three and out the first 4 out of 5 series attempting to run instead of pass, I'm going to throw my T.V. out the effing window.

Carroll....wake up and let Russell do his thing in the first half.

You should set a mattress outside your window to catch your TV now.

so it could turn on the Hunt Vita Vea match up

Of Hunt, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll isn’t concerned, saying,

“Joey’s been with us for a long time...We’ve just seen him play so consistently in practice and the work he’s done. He’s never backed off of reassuring us that he’s ready to go.”

But that’s practice. This is Vita Vea. A fact Carroll is aware of and commented on leading up to the game,

“It wouldn’t matter who is playing center with Vita Vea over there on the other side. He’s a remarkable player. We’ll give him a lot of respect.”

Well they passed 41 times vs. 26 runs vs. the Ravens including a similar split early in the game and that didn't work out very well. Maybe when RW throws 40+ times he is more likely to throw picks or the pick 6 he threw to Peters and maybe the Bucs haven't given up a lot of rushing yards because nobody has bothered to run on them and they have yet to face CC or anyone like him.

A bit OT, but while we're waiting for the Seahawks game to begin... looks like Gardner Minshew II who became Gardner Minshew I will now be back to being Gardner Minshew II.

Was that roughing the passer as bad as it looked here at the game? Looked legal here

It was pretty weak, but Bobby should have grabbed him and held him up. No reason to push him.

Carroll and Co. pull another rabbit out of the hat. Down by 2 TDs, manage to win in OT.

Although the 'come-from-behind' approach might not work too well against teams like MIN or SF.
