This is supposed to be one of those changing-of-the-guard type of games, where the Horns dethrone the Seahawks as the NFC West standard bearer. The 'Hawks will not! roll over and play dead: we are gonna have to whup 'em good. If Seattle comes off with that freaked up attitude they displayed in the last play agains the Jaguars, i really hope our young guys do not get drawn into that crap. Sean & his crew probably have been preaching to them about maintaining their poise and making statements with their play, rather than their mouths or fists.
In the first Seattle game, turnovers killed our victory chances---we simply have to protect the damn rock. Ditto for the Washington loss where Jared learned the folly of staring down receivers against NFL savvy defenders. In the Minny/Philly losses, our opponents practically doubled our time of possession. Sean has to dial up the proper balance of rush/pass to keep defenders off balance, maintain drives, and help our own defense to rest up for crunch-time heroics. Malcolm Brown has a game under his belt since his return, so, please!, let the Gurley Man & his OL punish these ill-tempered Seattle defenders.
We need to spank them severely for the good of both teams. Seattle needs to learn that having the eighth man (their home crowd) and the ninth man (the damn NFL not passing out player-earned suspensions) just simply ain't going to cut it against the McVay-SonOfBum-Bones Horns!!! Our young guys need to see for themselves that they can take all the crap in an enemy stadium and the unfair NFL favoring of a perennial elite team and still give themselves an effective enema of mental mistakes and poor executions. They need to know they can! dominate any! team and win this very season---not next year---while they are still in the process of ascending to the apex of their impressive team potential. If we do not make it all the way, is it really negative? Teams this young are not supposed to be Super Bowl champions so soon. But should we buck the odds and win out all the way . . . again! . . . from worst to first . . . what a way to party like it's 1999!?!
