I’m actually surprised our defense isn’t ranked higher than that. Annoying, but maybe that (practical?) garbage time Cardinals affected the numbers. Who knows but I feel we can legit be top 5 soon.
Actually from what I found out, those are rankings up to Week 3 so Week 4 wasn't included.

I believe this is the game that could make or break the season for the seahawks... Playing a conference opponent that is a solidly good team, and Baker is a dog he'll have those guys pumped and ready for this game, I'm hoping this close game vs the Cards showed the Hawks you have to play all 60 minutes of the game and no lead is safe...

It should be quite a battle. I don't expect Evans to be playing, but I guess we'll all know as early as Thursday.
Godwin got his warmup game in yesterday. He's a stud when healthy and their rookie is looking like the real deal too. Should be a good test.

Bucs are best in the South, so I kind of view this to be almost another divisional game for us.
I don't have the lofty opinion of Baker as many others do, due primarily to bias from watching him through his college years. But he hit his stride in Cleveland and seems to be trying to repeat that in Tampa Bay. Very important game for us.

This game makes me nervous. I need to see that we truly got our home field advantage back. The Saints don't count.

I don't believe the Bucs are very good. Look who they have beat - Falcons, Jets, and Texans. Not exactly the cream of the crop. They barely beat those teams. They were getting crushed by the Eagles before the Eagles let the foot off the gas and allowed the game to be closer than it actually was. Eagles had a 24-6 lead at the half.

Our pass defense is mediocre at best right now. Woolen had like 13 targets and gave uo 13 receptions. Spoon had something like 11 targets and gave up 7 or 8 receptions, including two tds. Dont quote me on the numbers but it was not good.

Baker is very good but will throw interceptable passes too. Our secondary is doing a good job of grabbing those so hopefully get a few on Sunday

Yeah.

Derion Kendrick MUST play in this game.

I have zero confidence in Woolen. ZERO.

Spoon didn't play well but at least you can chalk that up to rust coming off of injury.

Next week he has zero excuse.

I really need the Seahawks to win this game. My youngest son is a Bucs fan (where did I go wrong) and life will be unlivable if we lose to them.

Bowles likes to come after you with blitzes so how well we do on O will depend on how well Sam sees it coming, sets protections and gets the ball out. Last time we played them in Germany our O had a tough time running in the middle vs Vea. It's going to be a tall order again this time.

I expect our D to do well against their run, as good as the Bucs are at it.

I agree with the sentiment woolen needs to be replaced
If kendrick plays then we have a really good chance to put the league on notice
Ya can't pass easily and ya can't run easily
If woolen plays ill be really disappointed in the coaching
