Watched a couple of their games today.
They hustle. This is the best 4-8 team in the league (looking at you, Rams). Their special teams are maybe the best I have ever seen. They have blocked a kick in 6 straight games.
Despite the missing starters, they play hard. They hustle to the ball on D, the o-line is nasty, there is no reason to think they will not play a tough game.
No doubt John is picking Jim for all the details he can get on what facing the Hawks is like.
I don't think the game will be within the spread, but I don't think we will blow these guys out like the Vikings. I hop I am wrong.
If Clausen starts, it will be a blowout. If Schaub starts, he probably wouldn't finish the game. Bad knee and bad shoulder.
Only scenario where this game is competitive is if Schaub starts, he's given all day to throw, and he plays an amazing game.
But even then, can that offense keep up with a Seahawks offense that won a shootout with the Steelers? That's a tall order.
The Seahawks are right now what the Patriots were in the first few weeks of the season. If this current Baltimore team faced the dominating early season Patriots, I don't think anyone would give them a snowball's chance in hell of winning.
