I dont know why I seem to be the only one on this board that thinks Seattle could be the NFC West champs.. But when I look around on websites for predictions like NFL.com they have Seattle winning the Super Bowl.. Shrugs..
I think Seattle is the best team in football. They have two big, physical corners, a great running game, a talented QB who is smart with the football, not to mention great lines on both sides of the ball.
People on this board have always underestimated Lynch as a RB. There was even a debate (I believe last year) about it when most people said he was over-hyped. I beg to differ. He's big, physical, and
durable, something we haven't had, well, in forever. Since 2007 his average is: 4.0, 4.1, 3.8, 4.4, 3.5, 4.2 and last year 5.0 per carry (and some of that time was on a bad Buffalo team). That means he's routinely getting to the mid-second level and not only wearing out the D line but punishing the LB's and secondary when he breaks one. He brings it every game. The dude ran for 1500 last year and averaged 5.0, that's badass, no matter what anyone says. How anyone can diss Lynch after a full season like that and then hype RW on our team after averaging 2.disgust a carry is ridic.
That, coupled with the fact that people on here have a strong dislike of Carroll, means they expect the team to crumble during crucial times and so they discount the talent on that team and expect the team to get weary of their coach. How anyone can discount the team they've put together is beyond me.
So you're not the only one. I think they're built to win it all, and I think they're better than SF--the edge going to them because I think Wilson is smarter than Kaep when it comes to running and making decisions. He did it a full year, Kaep didn't.
