My vision is a complete turn-around. Our 1st drive is a bust but Geno will dominate the rest of the game. Dickson will shank one. Wagner will show some foot speed and ring Kittle’s bell. Oh, and we win.

Got Thanksgiving dinner done on Tuesday so we could be focused tonight. Watching "live," which is a major commitment, seeing as how I usually record and only watch when I know the Hawks have won (so my blood pressure was spared Bengals, Ravens, and Rams 2.) But this is a big game and requires all the positive vibes and belief we can send in real time. Who am I counting on? Witherspoon, Woolen, Mafe, Reed, Brooks, Wagner, Diggs, Love. I'm looking for someone to step up and be the game changer on defense. It should be Adams, but I'll take anyone. Get in, make tackles stick. Drop Purdy at least four times, with two strip sacks and two INTs, one for a pick six. Someone to channel Kam and knock Kittle on his ass a few times and get him looking over his shoulder, and someone to do the same to McCaffrey. On offense... I want our O-line to rise to the challenge. I'm counting on every single one of them to know their assignments. I want holes for the run game, and I want to see Zach run over their linebackers and safeties and give us his version of beast mode. I want Geno to run the ball. I want screens to JSN with Bobo and the next best blocker blocking. I want passes to the tight ends, all three of them. I want Tyler, DK, JSN, and Bobo open all day, and I want Geno to hit them in stride. I want touchdowns. At least five. Scratch that. Six. I know, it's only Thanksgiving, not Christmas. But I want it damn it all. I WANT A WIN! I want the stadium to be a howling vortex for however long it takes for the whiners to go deaf and get flushed all the way back to Santa Clara. C'mon visualize with me, fifty three little red turds looking bewildered and crying for help as they swirl down the toilet. GO SEAHAWKS. C'mon, GO SEAHAWKS! GO SEAHAWKS! GO SEAHAWKS! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WE WANT A WIN!

If I was the coach of the Hawks, I would have been preparing for this game since summer training

camp began. When practicing, they practice a few plays that will be rat holed for this game. A few plays here and a few plays there developed specifically for this game.

With fewer days to prepare, most teams just do their best with the time allotted to them, but if we have been preparing for this game all season long, then this game could get exciting with plenty of surprises for our opponent. That is my vision.

Just please, not the Nightmare Before Christmas.

IF the Seahawks are to win this game, it will require--

* no turnovers on offense and/or at least a +2 turnover differential

* holding the Niners to less than 100 yards rushing,

* somehow manufacturing a running game (Charbs with 100?)

* and Bobo+JSN TDs

It's not Thanksgiving for me in Canada, but if you have ever been to San Fran you know that at Fisherman's Wharf sourdough is a thing, with clam chowder/chilli/you name it in a bread bowl.

I just happen to have a sourdough loaf in the freezer that I pulled out this morning and I am going to give it a "treatment" :D. Thursday night is "date night" at our house and I have the game on "record" but by halftime or a bit later I may be caught up to "Live" lol.

I thought you might go for sourdough.

A dose of optimism, before the storm rolls in.

My vision? Five or fewer penalties. All for excessive celebrations after TDs.

dang ... "Christian McCaffrey locked down to <80 total yards", There're numbers of RB's who would like to have those numbers as their high point.

‘thwap’! ... "Now, that's a word I haven't seen in a long, long time."

I envision the Hawks bring on a few surprises tonight, the perfect game to do so. Geno and Shane are going to be in sync. Geno and Spoon are gonna be eating turkey legs at mid field post game!! Having fun with this one :)

Not to be a super-harsh but the almost-visions were pretty significant:

- the pick-6, we win

- another 25 yds on Metcalf’s last catch and Myers is kicking from 30 instead of 55

In other words with Joes full vision, Hawks win. So your opening conundrum wouldn’t be one -- hit the vision, Hawks win. Maybe take 0.5 on each of those? Still a winning Vision week, with 2.0 out of 3.0

If Ken's scoring system were used, the Fleahawks would be 10-0.

Dagnabbit, now look what you did! You triggered a full-blown snark attack! Shame on you!

I can confirm Julie & Julia is a pretty good movie - although I'm always biased towards anything with Stanley Tucci. Not super special but a pretty good time, easily one to share with a partner you can both enjoy, and Streep on top form is always worth the time.

Umm football... I like the belief we can get a result today. I'm very much opposite and think this could well be a Ravens style disaster. But i'll take three Thursday games to break up my normal British day routine.

Love Stanley Tucci, he may well be the king of Hollywood food porn between this, Big Night, and his series Searching for Italy.
