Arians is a good coach - perhaps even a great coach.
Not only that, because of the line and all of the predictions he can go in there and play the "NOBODY BELIEVES IN US!" tactic. The Cardinals will be fired up, they will play insane... off the charts, their best game of the season in all respect. They will take advantage of no Mebane, they will cut, they will crush, they will try to knock our players out, they will go for Wilson's knees... they aren't just going to try to beat us - they are going to put every bit of their heart and soul into their game.
I'm down here in AZ and they want blood, this is about as excited for a game as I've ever seen Cardinals fans -- it's even heavier than that Superbowl run a few years ago, this team has insane momentum -- the kind of momentum I am used to seeing from the hawks.
In Addition, since that first time he faced Wilson, Arian's has his number. In the last two meetings between the Hawks and the Cardinals the zona D has turned our QB into a joke. It's worse than what we did to Kaep. The Cardinals under Arians know Wilson and his weaknesses and they know how to exploit the hell out of them.
Furthermore, they own our O line... which is beaten to hell again, hell, even Sweezy might be out this week.
They are going to load everyone in the box and try to kill Wilson, they are going to try to rattle him and shake him and hurt him.
The Cardinals will be fired up, they will play insane... off the charts, their best game of the season in all respect. They will take advantage of no Mebane and pound the rock relentlessly in order to take our secondary out of the equation. They will cut, they will crush, they will try to knock our players out, they will go for Wilson's knees... they aren't just going to try to beat us - they are going to play off the charts physical football, they won't have anything left in the tank after this game -- so don't be surprise if they turn around and lose to the 49ers the following week (but it won't matter if they beat us).
This will be the best game they play all season long... the question is, can the Seahawks match it?
This is where we find out if the Seahawks are a Superbowl champion team this year... we win this, I firmly believe we win the Superbowl. We lose it... it's doubtful.
This is a game that could be lost on one boneheaded mistake or penalty and we are prone to them.
