POLL: The ONLY Chance Seahawks Lose Is If...

[Sonichound16]

It only takes 2-3 critical first downs to ultimately change the outcome of a close game.

I’m so thankful that it appears #3 Eman will be playing.
I foresee him being an integral part of limiting Maye’s ability to extend drives via his legs.

I agree that Eman is crucial for this one. Odds take a big hit if he is limited or doesn't play.

Lack of focus (bad penalties and turnovers) is one way. Other way is we get totally out-gameplanned(doubtful), especially when 2nd half adjustments take place.
Other than that, Seattle is clearly the better team. But that doesn't control the scoreboard .

So, because these are my reasons, I highly doubt we lose. And I think we come in and just lay it on the Patriots. Macdonald has totally impressed me, and you could see the team getting better every week. He's got that whole locker room focused and playing together.

Giving them short fields. If we have 1 or less turnovers, we win this game by double digits.

This. No way the Pats can take the ball 90+ yards on us.

However, they have been pretty effective with the ‘dink’ game. 4 yard pass…5 yard pass…3 yard…5, etc…

Brady was maniacal at that.

Bad Bunny tears an ACL.

Think about it.

Drake Maye will need better numbers than MVP Matt Stafford, and he will still need help from Seattle. This is going to be a good time.

I picked other - If Barmore and Wiliams dominate Sundell and Bradford which stuffs our O and even worse, cause Sam to turn it over. That matchup is the only thing that scares me.

With our defensive team speed if they all trust their eyes and play disciplined I don't think even Maye's rushing can win the game

The dink game? I believe Maye led starting QB's in the NFL in yards per attempt.

 

[RehireMora]

What I have noticed from the WR/TE's is that they don't look the ball into the hands and drop it. The ball is about there and they turn their heads

I get it's a bang bang thing and milliseconds count but drops could be the one thing that loses this game.

Watch for the pre catch head turn!

The Pats conduct a seance to summon Bill Leavy

The dink game? I believe Maye led starting QB's in the NFL in yards per attempt.

Regular season or playoffs? Because in these playoffs, he’s 6th while Sam
Darnold is 1.

Maye is averaging 6.9 per in the playoffs. 6th…so not terrible.

But in his most recent game, that dipped to 4.4. Granted…crappy weather.

Not trying to move the goalpost. Just haven’t been super impressed in these playoffs.

 

[CostaRicaHawk]

The Seahawks oversleep and just don't show up to the game. Otherwise we crush them

 

[Dolomight12]

We're not losing this game

 

[DeSeahawk]

They replace Jones and Big Cat with Pauly Shore and Pee Wee Herman.

The Hawks would still win with those guys and the press conference would be amazing ! " I know you are, but what am I, Weasel ? "

 

[Azvacar]

Klint gets too conservative and we run out of time. Like the Bucs game

Clint keeps dreaming about his 8 million dollar a year payday for the Raiders

They offered Gruden 100 million.

For ten years.... Kubiak is making more...

Good. Cause we're going to the Superb Owl next year as well.

Throwing the ball on 2nd and goal with 20 seconds left.

 

[Palmegranite]

It would need to be an improbable combination of inopportune penalties, flukie bounces, bad weather and wrong cleats selection for this to even be as close as a one score game in the final minutes.

Followed by a Seattle inexcusable "scaredy-cat" prevent defence for this to end in tragedy and catastrophe.

(Hope I didn't just jinx it...)

 

[Cyrus12]

Early injuries....partly the reason we lost 49.
