Nothing in the stats or schedule info will calm your nerves either. These two teams parallel each other, with the exception that they have the cb's that we would die for.

In common opponent games (which there aren't many) They beat the Cowboys 27-7, beat @Carolina 16-12, and split with the Rams.

I do think you have to definitely just discount the Arizona and Buffalo games as aberrations, and even the SF game in Seattle was due in large part to the crowd, and the 49ers not being able to be coherent in the first half of the game.

That said, Seattle is a tough team, and they figured out a lot about road wins against Chicago and Buffalo, so they will come in confident. I don't expect a 200 yard game from Morris so this game will fall on Griffin, Paulsen and Cooley. Garcon and the WR's will still be depended on for their blocking, and stretching the field. But Seattle will be ready for our base pistol formation and any zone read plays.

As for our defense, I think they are up to the task, and the one good thing is that I think we can keep their TE's in check. I don't think the blitz heavy scheme that worked against Dallas will work against Wilson, so I hope Haslett did a lot of homework Monday and Tuesday.

Did I mention this is going to be a tough game? One big advantage is homefield, the west to east flight is the hardest to make, remember they lost to Miami in Miami right before there win streak started. I also think it's good that St. Louis played them tough, we can use that tape especially in prepping for them.
