For me this is a slightly more difficult rematch of Atlanta vs Seattle in 2012.
Put Clemons, Avril, and Bennett in that game, the Falcons would have stood no chance.
I don't have the balls to predict a blow-out because I feel if the Seahawks start out hot, and Broncos don't, the refs will find the littlest of things to put the fire out. And even out the momentum.
However, I look at the Broncos defense and its built very similar to ours, except it doesn't have the talent and depth we have. We simply have better players across the board. The only player they have that is betters than ours in a mirrored comparison even if Denver's D was at full health is Von Miller over Bruce Irvin.
So our defense can simulate theirs very well and unfortunately for them their lack of depth is going to be their ultimate downfall. Seahawks have one of the most physical teams in the league, Wilson can wear you down with his mobility and the running game can wear down even the toughest defense when the O-Line is rolling and the Beast Mode is looking to feast.
If we WIN it will be because we totally dominate the 2nd Half.
I think Wilson will be huge in this game. He needs to get his head out of his you know what. In this game we need him to have the aggressiveness of Kaepernick --in the times he decides to run. I don't know what exactly has come over him, but he has left that part of his game completely out of the mix for the last 6-7 weeks. Now is the time to bring it out. There were countless times against San Fran when he could have picked up PLENTY of yards and instead he decides to chill out behind the line of scrimmage. On the very first play of the game, Aldon was getting blocked by the TE, he had acres of room in front of him, all he had to do was beat Aldon to the corner which he easily could have done. Instead he decided to do nothing and fumbled the ball. On the 3rd and semi long where he gets the ball to Baldwin on an almost intercepted pass --again, here he had acres of space and decided not to run.
If you're going to beat Denver, Russell will need to take advantage of his legs which completely change this offense into multi-dimensional. This Denver defense is NOT San Fran, they are not even the Saints --this Denver defense can be had. I truly believe Kaep would have put up 150 yards rushing in the SB. Wilson needs to do the same --perhaps not in yardage, but those 3rd and 8 downs where no one is open, he needs to pick up the first down.
Regarding the refs, they will call it straight up. The Hawks lucked into something --everyone has been talking about their offensive pass intereference plays, otherwise known as their "pick plays." Refs I think at least attempt to call it even, but subconcious factors do weigh on their mind.
