Aros' Fearless Prediction Thread (vs Falcons)

[AROS]

Coming off a pretty lousy loss, aka "throttling" by a better team, the Seahawks get the benefit of returning home and not off a short week, to face the 0-2 Falcons. While they surprised many by coming back late in the 4th against the Rams, they still fell short. If the same Seahawks that showed up in Santa Clara show up this Sunday, they will be 1-2, period. However, I believe we will see a much better product on the field. I still don't see a lot of wins ahead for this rebuilding squad but this game should be one of them (heavy emphasis on "should").

EDIT ALERT: I have since changed my mind. I have a pretty strong premonition we actually lose this game so I hate to be a Debbie Downer but I have changed my pick to a loss as of 9/22.


Aros' Fearless Prediction: Seahawks 17 - Falcons 24

Aros' Fearless Record: 2-0

I am 0-2 but I got this one!!!
Hawks 34
Dirty Birds 17

 

[SoulfishHawk]

This YOUNG team is gonna' get it done on Sunday.

Hawks 23-16, should be a good battle. Atlanta is no pushover.

 

[Bear-Hawk]

I was going to say 20-17 Hawks before I saw Aros prediction.

Close game — maybe 12 makes the difference.

 

[Ruminator]

I think this will be similar to Week 1, including two TD passes for Geno. Unfortunately, I also predict a Seattle L, since goal line stands can't be had whenever you want one.

An offense that hasent scored in 1 1/2 games versus a team that took the Saints and Rams to the wire.

Russ...er, I mean Geno goes hail mary on these guys. Walker has a hell of a game.

 

[Chawker]

Battle of the birds in Seattle. Heavy determining run gets the victory here for the Seahawks. But our defense will close the show.

GO SEAHAWKS !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[QuahHawk]

Neither Geno or Mariotta are game changers. I think this game we finally get our run game going and we control the TOP. We won't run away with this as ATL has a few big and fast weapons on offense but I think this has to be a win.

Hawks 20-13

YTD 2-0

 

[FalconsFanNW]

Atlanta is no pushover.

Still not a very good team... but I think Atlanta wins Sunday as long as they don't blow it in the 4th like they did in New Orleans.

27-10 Falcons

I'll be the guy wearing the #8 Pitts jersey in section 319.

The Falcons have scored 53 combined pts. thru 2 games against good defenses...NO & LAR . They lost those games by a combined 5 pts .

Well, am now 1-1 after that clunker in Santa Clara. Still believe in this team which has yet to establish it’s identity.

Suspect the O will be less stilted or limited against Atl.. Hope to see a commitment to a running play action game and a few deep shots to engage the speed the O has on the roster.

Atl. won’t be a cakewalk as they have some legit weapons too, but think we could see better tackling from the D and for once the team will score more than 20 points.

24-17 for the Seahawks W.

 

[eo620]

The Seahawks have only scored 24 points in their first two games, so I'm hard pressed to say they'll score in the 20's this week. I say they step up and show improvement this week, but not much. Geno's gotta get Tyler and DK into the game!

Seahawks 16-13.

 

[FPD]

I must say, I'm not feeling good about this game. I do see Lockett and Metcalf each finding the end zone. However, I also think we'll see the beginning of the transition from Penny to Walker. Also, Atlanta is going to continue to give teams fits. In our case, I think those fits are enough for their birds to beat our birds in a close one...

Atlanta - 24
Seattle - 23

 

[Keyhawk]

Seahawks win this one.

Seattle plays a lot better but loses a close one in the 4th quarter.

Record 1-1

 

[Jegpeg]

Depends which Seahawks team turns up. In GW 1 the defence was pretty solid and the offence were pretty competant in the first half. Last week we were hopeless.

While I think we will find the endzone and I am hoping the defence show up.

I ain’t scared of no dirty bird. Sense of urgency will change for this game.

I feel like the 9ths game went sideways when Lance went out. The young guys probably felt like it would be easier, which it wasn’t. They will learn. Yes we were already losing, but it didn’t finish with a defense capitalizing on a young QB’s mistakes.

Time to step up and beat a team that is definitely lower tier. Unleash Myles Adams.

Hawks…. 24
Falcons….23
