Definitely not. They honestly scare me worse in Seattle than any of the playoff opponents would. It helps that the Rams beat Seattle earlier, will make it harder to look past them.

More than Dallas? Detroit?
Yes. Not saying they're better than those teams, but there's no fucking way they drop another one to Dallas. And they're not losing to Matt Stafford. GB scares me far worse than either of those teams do. But the Rams game scares me because they always play us tough, and Fisher knows they have nothing to loose so he can pull out trick play crap. And it's kind of a classic trap game coming after the battle for the division and before the playoffs. I don't think they overlook the Rams, but it's the only game left where there's any chance the opponent might be more jacked for the game than the Hawks are.
Disagree. GB doesn't worry me. The only team that can come into Seattle and win is one who fights fire with fire. Detroit and Dallas can both be physical and muddy the game up on offense and defense
Arizona was 6th in total defense and 11-3 with no quarterback. Seattle blowing them out doesn't change that. It means the Seattle offense played great
Sure, that's certainly one way of looking at it.
So their defense sucks?
Lots of people here saw the Cards shut the Rams down last week and assumed the result today would be the same. Oregon versus the SEC corollary. Arizona doesn't suck--I'm not Sven--but they were a little overrated outside of the pass rush.
Lots of awesome in this game! This was Bevell's best coaching job ever. He probably just got himself a head coaching gig. They routinely destroyed Arizona's blitz and they got Willson (a really fast tight end) isolated on Larry Foote who is slower than me. Bailey isn't worse than Okung now. They probably won't cut Okung in the offseason but it wouldn't surprise me either. Richardson looks like a legit good wide receiver, I think Kearse just saw his job taken from him. The defense wasn't even all that great IMO, but they held AZ to 6 points and completely shut down their run. Insane.
Kearse's job is fine. He is a pretty good special teams player. I think the WRs for the future will be Baldwin/Richardson/Kearse/Lockette as they all contribute besides just the WR spot. I just don't think getting a big stud WR does this team that much good as long as they are a run the ball/playground football type of team.
By the way did people see Lockette on Marshawn's run? Mother fucker laid like 5 blocks total during that thing. He isn't a great WR but he is a great blocker/ST guy/team player.
The biggest surprise to me was how well the O Line played last night. I think Okung is kind of a bum and might be on his way out next year. Could possibly see Unger leaving too if that is what they need to do to make sure Wilson/Bobby get their money and Marshawn will be retiring as a Seahawk.

Lockette was spectacular on that run. Even better than Marshawn was. Very very impressive.

Agreed about Bevell
He's done a really good job in the second half of the season with no great receivers or real burners, and some offensive line injuries...and let's face it, a q.b. that's about 3 or 4 inches short of what a lot of football people accept as the minimum height.
Hugh kept saying that Arizona was reckless on defense this morning, but hell, he and Wilson took advantage really well. I'll give credit when it's due. All that said, if he does get a h.c. gig, it won't be an end of the world.
Cards have given up 500+ to Philly, Seattle, Atlanta, and Denver.
And yet they were 6th over 14 games. It was 14-6 after 3 with their offense producing about 100 yards
If you predicted Seattle blowing them out great. Most didn't because Arizona defense is for real.
I predicted a close game, but then 596 yards happened and I realized that Arizona doesn't have the back end athleticism to match up with teams like Seattle where you have a mobile qb putting pressure on reads. Just look at the two Willson TDs, Arizona was totally caught in no man's land. Also, it's a 60 minute game yadda yadda.

Dallas and their o line are a little concerning. Tony Homo is actually pretty good when given adequate protection.

Dallas beats Detroit, Green bay beats Dallas rather easily
