My vision is the tight ends and RB’s get 15 catches. Chargers blitz a lot and there’s Mack the Monster, plus Geno held the ball a bit too long last week and got hammered for it, so I think there will be a lot of quick release passing. 15 catches for the TE’s and RB’s.
2 DK touchdowns - JC Jackson vs DK - Jackson has been known for his press coverage but he's had a miserable season so far. He was benched in the second half against Denver when San Diego only allowed 72 yards but is supposed to start. Lockett has a tender hamstring so might not be as much of a target this weekend.
2 TE touchdowns - The TE underneath DK, sort of a pick and roll NFL style, could be big.
KW3 200 yds of offense - KW3 will have two runs of 30 yards and a pass completion of 30 yards.
Kobe gets another fumble - Defensively, Ekeler is the key. Hopefully the alignment changes from last week work again and Kobe will get lots of action.
Nwosu gets an interception - He knows Ekeler is their big weapon and steps in front.
Poona will gets another sack and a tackle for loss.
Tariq gets his 5th pick - Tariq gets the pick when Allen pulls up when his hamstring tweeks.
I can't believe I'm suggesting this but if Geno isn't injured by the creative blitzing and the Khalil Mack Truck, I think we have decent shot at winning.
This is the game that most don't expect Seattle to win, so the Hawks are right on track with the rest of the season. Seattle stands as a 5 point underdog. I'm not sure what to make of the Chargers. They spent big bucks to fix their defense and they still haven't jelled with the big names. Losing Joey Bosa didn't help. I think they still need a week or two to work out some kinks. Offensively Herbert is playing well but still has rib issues, Corey Linsley is back at center so expect the running game and protections to be better. If Allen plays more trouble for Seattle. Day defensively is also questionable on the DL.
Pete says Locket will probably play, not sure about Eskridge as he was out all week due to personal reasons (NIR). Hart is out so we may see a D Young sighting. I think Luis is right about the TE's. Big day for Seattle. Walker and Dallas both have good days. Homer by the way is set to return from IR next week and should be practicing. Goodwin may have some key plays as well.
This is Seattle's real test of playing a team with a winning record. My glass half full prediction is that Seattle's defense bends but makes some key plays in this one and could have 2 turnovers. Takeaway Thursday has been slowly showing up almost every week now and I have a good feeling about it this week. Bruce Irvin, Taylor, Nwoso, Mafe, Jefferson, Ford and Harris show that Seattle may have turned the corner on pass rush. I think Seattle needed a breakout game against someone like Murray to move Mighty Mo in the right direction "Seattle defense with Brooks shouting out a skyscraper window..."We're mad as Hell and were not gonna take it anymore." The secret sauce: Cody Barton has reduced snaps and more 3 safety looks. IMHO, I think that not only plays well to LA's passing game but to Ekler and his running style.
Walker shows that last week was no fluke and bigger and better things are coming. Nothing like second round deliverance.

As cool as a W would be, this is likely to be an L - like by enough that the Hawks will need to forgo much of any kind of running game. If they let Uchenna go, the Chargers must have felt they had the Edge covered.
I hope the young-uns will hold up, but it is more likely they will have a moderate game at best.
The only way we upset is we win the turn over battle by +2 to +3 range. If we can pull that off, I will go out dancing in the rain after!
Nevertheless, I am happy as long as our D holds up. San Diego 24 - Seattle 16

“This vision was even twice as good as perfect vision”
For the record (and coming from someone whose uncorrected vision must be 20/500), that would make it 20/10. You can see an object clearly from 20 feet what the average person can only see clearly from 10 feet. Ted Williams supposedly had 20/10 vision.
Also, I'm not sure if I can really see this or if I've had to much to drink but I think I'm seeing Carolina, Jacksonville, Cleveland, and NYJ all winning and helping our Bronco pick inch up toward the #1 slot.
I'm an optimist by nature and it pains me is say terrible things like this but I'm seeing the Chargers coming out on fire, the 'Hawks defense being respectable, but the offence falling flat and getting embarrassed in one of those Gawd awful games that are just painful to watch. Oh, and PC challenging something that was obviously correct and losing a timeout that they really could have used later in the game. Sorry. I'll show myself out.
I see Brooks standing out with 3 tackles for a loss and causing a turnover. He spends the day with both eyes on Ekeler while our secondary worries about everyone else and is a constant frustration to the Chargers' game plan. Next week the media are all talking about how quickly this Seattle D has turned things around with Brooks, Woolen and Nwosu getting the most individual mentions.
Eskridge gets the most playing time of his career so far, as Tyler needs some help this week. He gets at least one nice run after the catch play after making the first tackler miss.
My fear this week is Ekeler. He’s exactly the kind of RB that squirrels his way through the front seven and tears the safeties away from their coverage roles. Contain Ekeler and SEA wins. Let him gash us and it will be up to Geno and Walker to win a shootout.
The Tight End trifecta / hat trick: Fant, Dissly, and Parkinson are getting teeders.
Either Woolen or Coby or both will extend their forced fumble / interception streak.
I like 200 yards on 22 touches for Walker, that seems about right to me given the opponent. Two TDs for Walker, 1 pass 1 rush.
I see a Dee Eskridge touchdown, too!
On D, Tariq gets another INT to keep his steak going.
A W in another game as a 'dog. #GoHawks

Coby gets an interception, Woolen does not. However, Woolen causes a fumble and Bryant recovers.
I see an INT for Coby and zero sacks allowed.
Good visions, Joe.

Riq the Freak gets another blocked fg, but no INT.
Abe Lucas pancakes Khalil.
K9 Gets 2TD to go with 199 yd rushing.
