This team is peaking at the perfect time. If we end up making the playoffs I don't think anyone will want to be playing us
I seriously doubt the ravens, eagles, lions, bills of the league are sweating this seahawks team. But I agree, it would seem this team is gelling on both sides at the right time.

We already played the Lions tough once. And we have only improved since then. I certainly don't think they are sweating us but I dont think anyone would think we are an easy out in the playoffs. I think we could be that fiesty team no one wants to see

I agree. I just don't think we strike fear in the top teams at this point. A win over Minnesota, ok now we have folks attention.

The biggest challenge this team will have will be the young players maintaining a level head, focus and ignoring all the media buzz that will surround them when they continue to win.

We already saw them drop the ball when the were 3-1 coming off the Detroit gamr and overlooked the Giants in anticipation of the 49ers.

The D was also a bit flat against Detroit the week before and got manhandled for 60 minutes.

If they can learn from those errors and maintain their edge... yeah - we will be a tough out.

I think this is a different defense though that the one we saw earlier in the year. Jones brings another element to the defense from a leadership perspective too and he wasn't here earlier in the year.

I agree though I think we are a tough out for anyone. I'll still be a little surprised if we were to win a playoff game because I still think we're a year away but we will make a lot of teams nervous.

Yeah, watching the last 4 games it's easy to lose track of how much youth this team has. I mentioned elsewhere how young the O-line is, with 4 guys still on their rookie deals. They tried to find veteran help but it never panned out and now, with two they're doing pretty well without a lot of that "veteran leadership."

But it's true all over the field. Lot of youth to build with and on.
