These games where the Seahawks should not only win but dominate always scare me.
But I am very interested to see what Uchenna’s return to the line up is going to do for the D, along with Williams and Mafe coming back hopefully as well.
Man I’m with you 100%, esp the penalties comment where honestly if MacDonald has improved much vs Pete, it doesn’t seem like it. We should be calm and collected for this game, keep it clean and let the game come to us.
The other area is special teams. Found two rankings online and Seattle is near the bottom on both. And the Giants are 6 spots better on both. How ‘bout we switch that at home this week??
This is the type of game where we fans all cross our fingers and toes and hope we don't beat ourselves. Wouldn't it be nice to see Howell handing it off to McIntosh in the 4th quarter (because we kicked too many giant butts, not due to injuries, obviously)?
Chuck reporting back that although his area of North Carolina near Black Mountain is like a cross of "Mad Max and Burning Man" and that they got it bad, but not as bad as nearby Chimney Rock and Swannanoa River, places that are "gone". Chuck got power back yesterday and mail has started to be delivered again, but power and phone service will be up for 15 minutes and then gone again. If anyone wants to send him anything, I have an address and he says they love to watch South Park, but not to send anytihng more than cheap entertainment.
I'll keep seeing every game thus far as live-action, full-speed, full contact Practice. I have all faith that our concerns expressed here are those of Coach Mack. Let him configure the nuances. No doubt by now he has Our Guys fully bought-in that he has it all well in hand or you won't see the field on Sunday. He knows what 100% effort looks like out of each and every one of them, even holding players out if there's the slightest doubt. No cruising allowed. At some point, SSJ will become the preferred morning reading over their coffee. Or power juice. Whatever. Pssst...check this out... the 12s want to WIN.
The atrocious penalty stats would be much improved minus Bradford. ( hopefully soon ). Try Forsyth at RG and Peter's at RT. How can that be worse than what we have now?
Nice to have our injured guys back. Jones doesn't handle pressure well so the Hawks will be blitzing a lot.
This is a game we should win.
The one big difference this season is the new staffs ability to make adjustments on the fly.
As long as the ‘Hawks stick to their knitting, they should control this game from beginning to end. Even with Nabers and Singletary, the New York offense has failed to score a touchdown in two of their four games. (Nabors and Singletary have five of the Gint’s total six TDs.) Meanwhile, Seattle will be the best offense that the NY defense has played. I’m not counting my chickens, but a loss on Sunday would be brutal.

HooRah to that, Grant!

Thanks for the update!
The Seahawks haven't done nearly enough to look past any opponent. I don't think they will look past the Giants though.

Why not try McIntosh as PR and KR?
Would be great for ball security but you’d like to have a 4.3 guy back there to try to bust one
Is it too early to write about what if Mike Mcdonald is not a defensive genius?
