The SEA/WA line already out

[Trackhawk]

Wags is still a monster vs the run, but also still struggles in coverage. He needs to be used in 3-4 concepts to offset his reduced lateral speed.

Washington runs a 4-3, but incorporates a lot of 3-4 concepts, plus some shading with DB's to offset this liability, among the multitude of other reasons they do this.

I doubt they want to rush Daniel’s back against our D line but the Commanders still have some good players we need to be weary of. Should be a good game until late in the third when the Hawks step on the throat and end any thought or notion of an upset. Teams that suck ass try to slow the tempo down. That ain’t us

Big mistake for the Commanders to risk Daniels' health.

 

[Jerhawk]

Daniel’s brings a whole new element to their already potent offense.
The Commanders looked unstoppable last night against the Chiefs. Now add Daniels??

We may as well do the Earth a favor, save the jet fuel and forfeit this one, guys.

I must be in the minority. I want him to play.

I get it how people might want to believe Bobby is old and washed up but those people haven’t been paying attention. He’s still making plenty of great plays. His speed to the sideline isn’t what it once was but he prowls that LOS like a beast still

It will be a huge factor. Bobby vs time we should run right at him.

Bobby can still tackle. He's second in the league in tackles this season:

Bobby Wagner, still a starting middle linebacker in the NFL at age 35. Very impressive.

Definitely shouldn't run at him. He's still elite against the run, and second in the league in tackles. Passing on him with TEs and crossing routes, on the other hand.

As some have said, Vegas lines have nothing to do with who they think will win, it's all about evening up the betting so that no matter who wins, Vegas does. It's not disrespect by Vegas when this kind of thing happens, it's disrespect from numerous bettors with their wallets. THEIR betting is what dictates odds changing.

Kinda surprised we did not get booted down to the day game.

Beauty of it is that it all means nothing

Means we’re gonna pack their fudge buddy. A healthy rested defense against a Commander squad without their star receiver. Even if Daniels plays it should still be a sound beating

 

[RolandDeschain]

Everyone putting any stock in Vegas odds should keep in mind that the Broncos were 2.5-point favorites for Super Bowl XLVIII the day of the game. So, yeah....about that.......

 

[glenwo2]

Terry McLaurin won't play at least.

He was making business decisions? When Bobby left the Hawks the D was for deplorable.

Yeah, Bobby was awful in 2023, leading the entire league, and setting a Seahawks season record, with 183 tackles, and earning his 10th all pro (second team in 2023) nomination.

The defense, overall, was putrid in the second half of the season, after starting with a phenomenal 7 game stretch

I

I don't follow. Seattle favored by 5.5 points seems reasonable.

I agree, the poster I responded to doesn't think seem to think so .

Bobby has lost a bit, tackling in the box isn’t part of said “bit”.
