The Hawks run the ball more than anyone in the league, and Purdy is just as likely to kill a game,  I think Seatle wins and those two qbs combine for 5+ ints 

Seahawks defense is special

I am leaning New England because Stroud has to overcome the noise, the weather, missing Collins and they are gonna pressure the hell out of him. 
 

I feel like Buffalo and Denver is gonna be a tight low scoring game. Toss up. 
 

Seattle at home? Seattle by 10. 
 

Bears and Rams? Tough one. Rams defense is suspect at this level, and weather and the crowd is going to be hard to beat. I don’t know. Home field vs mucho playoff seasoning and Stafford? 
I can’t pick that one either but if I were forced to I go with the experience.

Stroud was pressured like hell against Pittsburgh and they are a FAR better pass rush team than NE. Collins being out will be a thing, for sure. New England is a less effective defense than Pittsburgh. I think it still comes down to which QB fugs up the least. 

Weather may be a huge factor with LA. Don't forget that finger injury to Stafford too. In that weather, no less.

Yeah I was almost going to mention the finger but he did so well last week after whatever they did to it at halftime I let it go. It could get hit and messed up worse, it is a weak point. 
 

Weather and home field crowd in Chicago are huge challenges no doubt. I can’t really be confident in LA but the inexperience of Chicago in a game with this stuff at stake is likely to be a factor, enough to make it hard to be confident in them. So who knows….

This I think defense wins it for Seattle and Houston

I want you guys to take a moment, read this multiple times, and understand exactly what I’m saying 

/deep breath 

Id rather have Bryce than bo nix

He’s one of the worst QBs under pressure you’ll ever see. He can time a deep ball well, but if he wasn’t on Payton’s squad, he’d be on the Nova Scotia Elephants

They both have to overcome terrible QB's, though. I agree on the elite power of both defenses but the suckage of those QB's is something that has to be accounted for.

Yea but they are also playing horrible QBs  (for the Hawks especially both Darnold And Purdy have thrown 6 int in their last 4 )  as for the Texans, just color me as thinking the Pats very easy schedule will be exposed, they did almost NOTHING vs steelers and the Texans defense is anther level from that

Yeah, if the Pats running game doesn't get off the ground, they will be in a LOT of trouble. As good as Maye was this season, the Chargers gave him fits and this defense is far better than that one.

The one X-factor that can hurt Houston is Maye's legs.

Maye has to run. The Texans, though the best overall defense, were dead last against scrambling QBs.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
