Who thinks we'll actually beat Seattle on Saturday?


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

What's your gameplan to victory? Any reasons besides how "we're due" or "we're a team of destiny" or "I have a feeling"?

 

I think we lose 31-13, similar to the Sunday Night Football game in New Orleans last year. We've improved and we've had a successful season where I can see us making a Super Bowl run next year, but at the end of the day, we still have Byron Bell at LT and presumably Brenton Bersin at punt returner.

I have a hope...using logical arguments with that hope....we're going to have to do what we haven't all year and not have any turnovers on offense, no lapses on ST, and no big plays given up on defense.  That hasn't happened in a single game yet, so the only thing to say for that is maybe this is the game, finally.  Maybe all the wheels finally click and we go over the hump.

 

I have hope, but logically, we're going to have to fire on absolutely every cylinder and if we do win, I worry this'll be like the Chicago game in 05 where we expend so much energy and get beaten up so much we won't have anything left for the next round.

 

But we're in, and until we're out, we have a chance.

I said 17-13. And I don't know who scores either. I'm thinking we go up 7-0 early in the game as usual, Seattle goes down and kicks a FG, we punt, they punt, we punt, they punt, we punt, they fumble, we score a TD, then Bersin fumbles, They score a TD, then Cam fumbles, they kick a FG, we run the clock down and kick a FG with 16 seconds left and win.

 

Or none of that happens and Seattle scores 17.

the record shows it will be a low scoring ball game.  I don't expect them to come close

to 30 points.

 

Our last three games against them we've lost by 4 or 5 points...we can beat them and we're due.

 

Two things....we could have beat San Fran last year but we made dumb mistakes and penalties.

 

We beat Arizona but made dumb mistakes and Cam didn't have a good game.

 

If Cam plays well, we have more than a chance.  I was hoping for a little less sloppy game Saturday,

meaning we learned our lesson from last year.  I'm 50/50 right now, but I certainly think we can beat them, even on the road..

I said this in a post earlier. We will have to play the most consistent football we've ever played. We have to catch every ball, throw it accurately. Defensively we need to play as sound/disciplined as we've played all year.

 

I think we can, but the stars would need to be aligned. I don't want to make predictions, but I would say if we play our best game we can win....... I think we have about a 30% chance of that happening. Just not enough speed to get it done on offense, while at the same time, holding them to a lower point total. Similar to all the other games we've played against them, similar outcome.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
