My favorite teams
Here are my observations, please add your takes.
The right side of the Seahawks line is atrocious. Von Miller had 3.5 sacks and was chasing Wilson around all day.
The rest of their o-line isn’t that great either. Mack should have another huge game. Hicks, Floyd and RRH should benefit too.
Wilson’s top playmakers from last year are gone. Graham was a huge red zone weapon for him and Doug Baldwin while not elite is a damn good NFL receiver. Graham is a Packer and Baldwin is injured.
The Bears have two inside linebackers in Trevathan and Smith that have the speed and agility to shadow Wilson. That’s important because he’s not only athletic but he is crafty about how and when he runs. Without LBs that can run, he can quickly frustrate a defense with his legs. These guys can help minimize that part of his game.
Chris Carson is just a guy and they are just starting to break in Penny. The Bears should be able to control their rushing attack.
Lockett and Brandon Marshall are the starting WRs. Lockett is a great athlete but an inconsistent WR. Marshall at 34 still has a little juice but is mostly a red zone threat. Nick Vannett is still developing and isn’t a major threat.
The Seahawk D is a shadow of what they were. They are missing great players at every level. Even before the purge of talent, they were starting to crack last year and at times were embarrassed. Take a look at what Gurley did to them late last year. It was embarrassing.
The Bears should be able to run the ball and catch passes out of the backfield at will. Freeman and Lindsay exploited the Seahawks last week and I believe Howard and Cohen are both better players.
Mitch is going to play better this week. He’ll be at home against an opponent that is inferior to the Packers in every way. Sanders, Thomas and Sutton shredded the Seahawks and I expect Robinson, Gabriel, Miller and Burton to do the same.
The Seahawks had three picks last week on Case Keenum and still could not get the win.
The Seahawks are traveling east and are playing their second game in a row on the road.
