My opponent has the the Seahawks D (1 Viewer)

The big question is how much you chalk this game up to the Seahawks and how much to the Cardinals. This isn't an academic question for me: my two options for next week are the Seahawks (@BUF) and the Lions (@ARI). Given Seattle's performance on the road this year, I'm leaning toward the Lions (who actually looked decent vs GB last night), though I just can't imagine Arizona could be this bad two weeks in a row.

I think it's a little bit of both. Seattle plays extremely well at home and Arizona's offense is inept and especially bad on the road. Now next week Seattle will be in Buffalo (toronto actually I think). I expect them to be solid but not anywhere near what they did this week. they are not the same defense on the road (see recent Miami game). Buffalo can be a turnover machine but with Jackson out I expect them to go with Spiller, Spiller and more Spiller making Fitzpatrick a conservative QB. I also don't think he will be playing from behind as far as AZ was so he won't be as prone to Interceptions . All this makes Seattle a solid but not spectacular play. Arizona meanwhile will be at home against Detroit but won't be nearly as bad as they were in Seattle. Detroit's D is certainly ok in this scinerio but if you are in your playoffs it's a risky proprosition to go with Detroit IMO. Arizona plays better at home. I think they won't be overwhelmed and will bounce back(How can you not after that performance).I'm trying to decide between Seattle and Cincy. I had Cincy D for weeks waiting on this matchp against the Eagles. The Eagles are doing better so it's not as much of a no brainer as it was previously. If Seattle was at home I would be starting Seattle D with confidence. Now not so sure.

You mean 3 weeks in a row? Arizona put up probably the worst offensive game of the year against the Jets only to top that yesterday.

Good point, although last week they were mostly just bad from a football perspective. For fantasy, they only gave up two sacks and a fumble (and their D actually outscored the Jets, which tells you just how painful that game was to watch). Yesterday all the wheels fell off.Incidentally, I remember being the beneficiary of the last monster fantasy D performance: Niners-Rams, October 2009 (http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=291004025). SF won 35-0 with 5 sacks, 3 TOs and 3 defensive TDs, good for 39 points in my league. The following week they lost 45-10 to the Falcons, the start of a four game losing streak, at the end of which they were long gone from my fantasy roster. Which is a good reminder of Bill Simmons' "Winston Wolfe" theory.

Well, i needed the win this week but ran up against sea d in on league putting me in a 140- 55 hole .

I think brady, ridley, lloyd, and aj just got me a 1 point win to make the playoffs.

Awesome.

GO PATS!!

That's all he is. Dude has a noodle arm. Expect lots of cover-1 and cover-0 with Seattle daring Buffalo to take a shot.
