NFL Power Rankings?

I don't believe in the Seahawks for the same reason I don't see the Huskies as contenders in the next couple of years.....no offensive line. The Hawks red zone efficiency is not very good for this reason.

Granted the Hawk line is not as awful as the Dawg O line, but they're not very good. Wilson is sacked often and hard now. It's no longer a secret. Stop the Hawks by keeping Wilson inside the tackel box (containment) and let your D line bust through the weak blocking before Wilson has time to break outside with read option plays. With the stellar defense, it's too bad they don't have an above average offense. At this stage, they are average at best.

If somehow the Hawks get through the playoffs, they can win the Super Bowl. I don't think they'll get there.

Big games are not won by kicking field goals. Sound familiar?

I hope the Seahawks win it, but I don't think they can string together three good games on offense in a row. The OL is too shoddy. The defense can only get you so far.

Steve_Bowman

Yep. I don't think they can score three offensive TDs against a good defense.

Take away the defensive TD and the gimmy from penalties at the one last night, and they scored 13 points. No O line....no rings.

Seahawks defense is playing completely lights out right now. Offense is worrisome but you can look at EVERY team in the playoffs and find something to worry about. Luckily Seattle will get to play at home.

I am not as confident as I was say mid season especially with the injuries to our WR corps but I am still confident they can win it.

I am predicting a loss to the Panthers in the NFC championship. It will play out like the Arizona game. The OL won't be able to stop the Panther DE's, and the Panthers will score just enough for a win.

Steve_Bowman

That's my call. I'll be shocked if the Hawks beat the Panthers: Too much offense and a very good defense. Terrible match up for Seattle.

Panthers are scary but the offense? Look at what their offense does against good teams on the road.

@SF - 10
@NO - 13
@ARI - 6

I could see them coming in and beating us no doubt but I don't think they will beat us with offense.

If I'm a Seahawks fan, there is no team that scares me coming into Century Link. Doesn't mean they won't find a way to lose, but the only team with as much talent is San Francisco and Century Link is in their heads -- besides, I think Green Bay beats them next weekend.

Green Bay might just be the team this year, actually, with Rodgers finally healthy.

I love when you read a poast so FS you hope it's a whoosh but you know it's not. Carolina has too much offense?

Unreal.

Panthers are 29th in the league in passing offense and 11th in rushing compared to the Seahawks 26th and 4th. Seattle has also had to play the 1st/4th/9th rush defenses twice and the 2nd place one as well.
