You keep ignoring the fact that I keep reminding you of. There was no drop off. It was, in fact, the exact opposite. The Hawks had their best games and their historically good, record setting run AFTER the departure of Lynch and Graham. Not that their replacements are as talented, just that they didn't need to be. The system put them into positions where they could be just as successful.

understood its easier said then done, but thats why they have def coordinators, there needs to be a new approach in stopping Wilson..26/1 td ratio demands a different approach..
Please do this. Spy him, pressure him, focus on him. Pretty pretty please. That's exactly what Carroll wants you to do, and that's not how you defeat the Hawks. To defeat us, you have to out Seahawks the Seahawks. Play four quarters of straight up football and do it better than us. Know we are going to get ours, but just get yours a little more. Wear us down and strike when we slip up. If I were your team, I would be spending night and day watching the Rams games. You are built in a similar fashion, although your secondary isn't as good. You have the d-line to do it if you can stay disciplined.
Unfortunately, I think your best hope for a win is a Seahawks reversion to typical early season form. Be it Carrol or Bevell at fault, there is some good likelihood that we play it so slow and vanilla that we give the game away, and you will be back here thinking you "stopped Wilson" and won when in reality we just shot ourselves in the foot.
