Looks like Hawks-Pats

Or will lightening strike twice on the same day? Don't think so. 24 point lead, 18+ minutes left.

It should make for a great story line, we beat Peyton Manning one year, Tom Brady the following year.

The earliest line is seattle favored by 2 1/2 points.

Before the game the projections were Seattle by 7 against the Colts or by 3 against the Pats. With the way each game played out I think we're looking at closer to a pickem game through Vegas eyes.

Yes Riverdog though that was probably an off shore site.

First lines are here and yes Seahawks open as 2 1/12 favorites

I guess nothing should surprise me. It used to be that you had to wait until Monday morning to get a line on the next game.

I'm already tired of the media analysis! If we didn't need the bye week so bad, I'd want to play this thing next week

The one good think is Wilson and the offense will not play this bad 2 games in a row, and with 2 weeks to prepare. Also the Pats have not seen Wilson since he was a rookie so that will be good. Also truthfully the Pats have less weapons that GB, but they also have a better pass defense, so this could be an interesting game.

I don't see that, IF we had Mebane and Hill I would say yeah no doubt we have had 00 pressure on the Qb's the last 2 games. With Brady and no pressure come on, were are talking Brady here.

First...How Stoked is everybody that we're even having this conversation?!

I mean, Wow, People!

As for the Super Bowl...We have a lot to work on for this game, lol.

Man, that was rough watching the offense stink up The Clink today before pulling this one off in record time.

The bottom line for me is...Bevell and Quinn are gonna have to make "halftime adjustments" in the 1st half if things start going poorly early. We Cannot allow a Patriots team to go up like GB did today and hope to pull off another miracle.

What we did today is one for the ages, not one to pull off 2 playoff games in a row.

IMO, we're gonna have to dial up early blitzes defensively, and take some shots down field in the opening quarter to keep them honest.

Obviously, we'll need big games from Lynch and Wilson, with a game plan that should, IMO, allow RW to run at will in order to help move the chains. He was hanging onto the ball waaaay too long on several occasions this afternoon.

Meanwhile...Let's enjoy this! Enjoy it, fellow 12's.

It's surreal, and it's Amazing.

Go Seahawks!!!

I was reading a Broncos fan site, they were losing their freakin minds over this game. You'd laugh at all the hatred our team inspires, Broncos, Saints, Packers, Niners fans, they all hate the Seahawks SO MUCH. :twisted:

That's a legitimate concern. The Pats have done a very good job of protecting Brady. They haven't surrendered a sack in their two playoffs and our pass rush has been inconsistent, and although Brady is no Russell Wilson, he won't be playing on a gimpy leg like Rodgers was. They also have a respectable rushing attack.

But I do think we'll do much better offensively than we did against the Packers (can't do any worse) or the Panthers. They haven't seen a quarterback that can run the read option and ad lib to the offense like Russell Wilson does. This could end up being a relatively high scoring game, something like 35-31.

I agree, I see Lynch hitting them for more yards that LeGarrette Blount. It could be a really high scoring game.
