Seahawks won six of their last seven and lost their last game to Atlanta with nothing to play for.

The defense is among the fastest in the NFL but they are not that physical and can be worn down over the course of the game. They are very good at the point of impact and their pursuit with Peterson, Tatupu, and Hill may be unmatched. Trufant had a great season and the Redskins will likely work Jennings like everyone else does. Grant and Russell are key to the Seahawks keeping everything in front of them and Kerney and Peterson will get pressure on the QB. Rocky Bernard has to be the anchor of the run D and the Skins will certainly test the Seahawks run D.

Seahawks are also a lot better defensively at home feeding off the crowd. They give up under 14 points a game and had the one train wreck in there vs New Orleans a game they came out completely flat in (the fumble on the punt took the wind out of them). Stopping the run early will be key and they should force Collins to win the game. Redskins can and will wear down the front seven if given the opportunity.

I'll be here to help out all week, DD!

Kerney, Peterson, Tatupu, and Trufant (all Pro-Bowlers) will take care of Portis!!!

GO HAWKS!

Also if you don't know who Darryl Tapp is, you're about to find out. Guy is a beast.

Also FYI, gametime is 4:30 EST on Saturday.

 

[Brunell4MVP]

Hardest team in the NFL for the Skins to play if you ask me. SEA has a great D with excellent LBs, plus has a good pass attack. The Skins are good at stopping the run, but all those SEA WRs are gonna give them trouble.

I see a very hard fought D battle. Maybe 20-17, with either team winning.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Redskins won't have a shot.Funny thing is after Seahawks win they will still have beaten only 1 team with a winning record (wash is 8-8)

Washington is 9-7.

 

[scott72]

Go Skins!

 

[fridayfrenzy]

Hawks are at home...enough said.

Qwest will be out of control.

 

[proninja]

If this game was on the road, I'd be a lot more worried than I am. I think the Seahawks win this - not going away, but not too terribly close. Say 24-13 good guys.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Go Skins!

I'm down with this.

Where the hell have you been all year? Seahawk 17 still MIA. I'm hoping he comes back for the playoffs.

 

[Meast21]

Most media outlets are giving the Redskins their due respect; however, I have found Seahawks fans think they are going to win by 10-14 points. I understand QWest field is a difficult place to play at but the Seahawks have beaten ONE team with a winning record ALL season and were tied 17-17 with the ATLANTA FALCONS at halftime today (at Atlanta) but come on now.

Skins - 24

Hawks - 17

Come on now. The Seahawks didn't have Walter Jones, Rocky Bernard, Deion Branch, and Mike Green in a game which meant absolutely nothing and a game the starters knew they would be sitting on the sideline and watching for most of the game. Also for the record right here at FBG two years ago the Redskins best argument was the Seahawks SOS which was very central to the argument the Redskins would win the game. I think momentum is a better argument for the Redskins and the intangible of playing together after losing a teammate. Most people underestimate the Seahawks. They did two years ago, they did last year and the Seahawks were 15 yards from going back to the Super Bowl, and they do it again this year. Not a problem, the fans are used to it by now.

 

[fatness]

I think momentum is a better argument for the Redskins and the intangible of playing together after losing a teammate.

I think the best argument for the Redskins is the quality of their play the last 4 weeks. Nobody has stopped them consistently on offense, and nobody has done much against their defense. They're very focused and workmanlike throughout their games now, and both units are playing the best they have all year. I expect they'll score 20 or more against the Seahawks. I do think Seattle's passing game will test them greatly.

Ok. But what about the Seahawks winning six of seven? Have you watched them at all this year? Also the whole argument of Seattle not being able to run is moot. Remember that two years ago SA got injured and the Seahawks didn't use him and right now the passing game is>>>>>than it was on that day. The Seahawks don't have to run on the Redskins, they really don't because they finally moved on from SA and his underachieving ways. Williams will have a lot of work to do this week.

I expect they'll score 20 or more against the Seahawks.

With turnovers in Seattle territory maybe. Keep in mind a lot of yards and points came against the Seahawks this year when they were way ahead. Outside of the Browns and Saints no one had too much luck moving the ball at will against them. Redskins are not the Browns or Saints offensively. Also what is the deal with Jason Campbell? Would they seriously consider starting him? I would actually prefer Collins to start. Also I love you man. After this week we are back to being gbs. Same to you Redman. In the meantime,

I think too many people get caught up in recent games. They have played very uninspired since they clinched the division. Yeah they looked pedestrian against the Falcons but they had several key guys resting up and the impetus to dig deep and play hard just wasn't there. They didn't have anything like the Giants did to play for. Plus, you just can't describe what Qwest is like. It's absolutely unreal. If this game were in Washington I'd be very worried with the way both teams have played the last month. But the energy there is simply unreal and the team will not play heartless like they did in ATL and CAR. Other than those two road bombs they were on a great streak, have several players setting team and personal records, have one of the best Ds in Seattle history and will be almost wholly healthy. The D will bend in between the 20s and the crowd will help them stifen up in the red zone. Plus their two safeties just don't get beat deep. So while I don't think it will be a blowout, I think it's the Seahawks' game to lose. 10 points sounds like a sound margin of victory, and I expect it to be a very good game.

 

[fatness]

Also what is the deal with Jason Campbell? Would they seriously consider starting him? I would actually prefer Collins to start.

There hasn't been any word at all that he's ready to play (that I know of). And even if he's physically ready I doubt they'd start him without a load of practice reps first. I really think Collins is their QB for however far they go in the playoffs.And to answer your question, I honestly haven't seen the Seahawks play much this year. I just know they're in a weak division and are 10-6, while the Redskins are 9-7 in a division with 3 playoff teams.

Everything you said was wrong. At least you're consistent.

 

[southeastjerome]

The Seahawks front 7 on defense really worries me. I think they're a very solid group, although Peterson looks to have run out some gas as of late. Bernard and Tatupu are on the top of their game right now though. It certainly helps that Seattle played in Atlanta this week, that makes the Redskins travel schedule a bit more equal. I'd be surprised if this was not a close game. I really hope that the Skins are slap in the face big underdogs, but, unfortunately I do not see that happening.

[fatness]

The Seahawks come into the playoffs on a roll, having totally clamped down on Atlanta.

 

[gheemony]

Won't show in the margin, but the Seahawks win comfortably. Not challenged.

SEA - 24

[redman]

Back atcha, DD.

I think Washington can run on this defense; this will be a test for Collins and the passing game.

I think Hasselbeck and that passing offense are going to be a test for the 'Skins pass defense. I'm less concerned about the Seahawks' running game.

The wild card here is the Redskins' momentum and emotions. This team is on a roll that I've really not seen before - it's unique and therefore hard to factor in.

This is going to be a good game decided by less than a TD.

I agree. Like it was last time these teams met in the playoffs. WASH has been playing good as of late but Seattle is a totally different team at Qwest. I predict it will be a very close game in the first half with Seattle pulling out to a comfortable lead in the 3rd and pulling it out. I can't wait for Saturday!

The road team. Seahawks clinched 4 games ago. While they certainly don't have the same momentum as the Skins, they had little reason to play hard. An inconsitency that will disappear in front of the crowd at Qwest. The 27-6 drubbing of Baltimore at home, the team that beat the Steelers and almost the Pats, is more indicative of the home field advantage the Skins can expect. In addition, several key players were held out of Atlanta's game, and the gameplan itself was pretty bland, to rest them for this week so it's hardly an apt comparasin to the last 3 do or die games the Skins faced. When Seattle was up against the wall at 4-4 they rattled off 5 straight wins to clinch and if they had to win the last 3 they probably would have played much harder.

Sounds like the same song the Dallas fans are singing to explain their horrendous finish. Not that SEA had a horrendous finish. But people seem to be writing off weak finishes as "nothing to worry about."

If it was a weak finish at home I'd be very worried. Or if the game were in DC. But a weak finish on the road worries me only for next week if they get past the Skins. Dallas lost at home but they lost to a playoff team needing a win. The Skins have been in elimination games for the same 3 weeks the Seahawks have been coasting. Comparing the last 3 games isn't really all that relevant.

I'm not comparing the teams or the last three weeks per se. I'm just stating that the skins are coming in playing sharp. Whatever drove it is irreleavnt to me. They are coming in clicking on all cylinders, which is what you want to see heading in to the playoffs. I've seen a lot of statements that the Seahawks will win comfortably, that it won't even be that close. I think this is really a short sighted view given the way the two teams are playing coming in. I expect a very close game and think the skins have a good chance to win. If not, I'll be pulling for SEA the rest of the way. I'm a big Hasselbeck fan. But I think the Seahawks are in for a much harder fought battle than the fans here seem to think.

Weeks? A week ago Sunday they blasted the Ravens in a game that was over by the half, the same thing 2 weeks before that agianst AZ. They laid an egg against Atlanta and Carolina (which ended a 5 game winning streak), which means they on;y won 6 of their last 8 with the two losses being meaningless road games. Not the best momentum to go in with but very far from "weeks of mediocre or bad play" If anything the bad/mediocre play is the exception, not the rule. Especially at home. It's very easy to turn it on at Qwest, I've seen it happen time and time again.

Which team should be worried?

Seattle clinched a playoff spot after they beat the Cardinals 42-21 and then the #3 seed after beating the Ravens. I read the Redskins thread where you guys thought the season was over. Seattle had little to play for the last three weeks and you know it. Lets compare the first 14 weeks if you want to get into this.

I think the Seahawks should be worried because they have been one of the best (maybe the best team) in the NFL at home over the past four years and were 7-1 there this year. All the emotion you think you have will be sucked away after three illegal motion penalties at Qwest. Then we'll see how much Todd Collins have left. Play the run and let Collins try and beat you. I like the Seahawks chances.

The difference is the Seahawks played bad in the Carolina game then blasted the Ravens in a game that could have been 50-6. The Atlanta game had a lot of the best players sitting on the sidelines and was worth no more than a preseason game. The Seahawks finished very strong with the exception of the Carolina game a week after clinching the division on the road at 10 am local time. Those games happen.

 

[Enforcer]

Is this one of those threads where we can make outlandish predictions so we have something to bump in a week or ten?

Fine. I predict the following...

1. Seattle will get jobbed on at least one horrendous call and the fans will scream out.

2. Washington will get jobbed on at least one horrendous call and the fans will scream out.

3. Whichever team loses will point to the horrendous call that went against them as justification for why they should have won.

4. The team that wins will call the fans of the team that lost whiny.

5. The team that lost will call the fans of the team that won classless because they felt the need to be insulting.

6. One week later when the winning team is getting thrashed in Green Bay (or two weeks later in Dallas) one of the whiny losers will of course bump this thread and thump their chest.

What do I win?

Really? Fatness and Loke are good people just trying to defend their team. Same with all of us. And the winner isn't getting thrashed the week after. The Skins are going to Dallas if they win and the Seahawks to Green Bay. I like both their chances with a game in hand as I think the NFC is anybody's take this year.

Is this one of those threads where we can make outlandish predictions so we have something to bump in a week or ten?Fine. I predict the following...1. Seattle will get jobbed on at least one horrendous call and the fans will scream out.2. Washington will get jobbed on at least one horrendous call and the fans will scream out.3. Whichever team loses will point to the horrendous call that went against them as justification for why they should have won. 4. The team that wins will call the fans of the team that lost whiny. 5. The team that lost will call the fans of the team that won classless because they felt the need to be insulting.6. One week later when the winning team is getting thrashed in Green Bay (or two weeks later in Dallas) one of the whiny losers will of course bump this thread and thump their chest.What do I win?PS Seattle 27 Washington 13PPS My avatar threatened to beat me if I didn't pick Seattle.

Really? Fatness and Loke are good people just trying to defend their team. Same with all of us. And the winner isn't getting thrashed the week after. The Skins are going to Dallas if they win and the Seahawks to Green Bay. I like both their chances with a game in hand as I think the NFC is anybody's take this year.

It's this> No hate for the NFL here.

I have no doubt that Loke and fatness are cool. Give it time. Its a lock that a playoff game will bring the worst out of someone. I know Seattle has at least one fan around here that's embarrassing for the rest of us (me? oh crap). I can't remember his name, but I cringe when I see he's posting in a game thread. Not sweeny. He grates a lot of folks, but he does a solid job posting most of the time. Dang. Help me out here. You have to know which guy I'm talking about.

Hmmm I might know the Hawks fan but I'm hoping he is MIA for all of this. Redskins fan for the most part are pretty good IMO. I don't agree with them, but they are not the type to make a lot of excuses. We all know if the Seahawks lose we'll point to stuff they did unless it is a really bad interference or holding call. Anyway we went through all of this two years ago and I don't think there was anything close to a suspension. Cooler heads prevailed.
