1) Yes their WRs don't scare me; but Golden Tate can jump and play a lot bigger than he actually is, and and Doug Baldwin can make some occassional plays, depends if he wants to show up this weekend. Sidney Rice was a top 10 WR with Favre, maybe he can catch on with Russell for the playoffs. But again I think we should be fine in the pass defense department.
2) Yes if we shut down the run we will win. But thats what Seattle is good at and thats easier said than done. You know how many teams have said "If we shut down Tom Brady, we'll win". Like I said easier said than done.
3) Yes the Steelers, Panthers, Bengals and Rams showed us how to beat our offense. (Hint Collapse the ends onto the QB).
4) No cleveland wasn't a top 10 scoring defense.
I think it really comes to this: If the Redskins can get pressure and CONTAIN Russell Wilson, then we will win, but he is really slippery out of the pocket and moves like a video game. It'll be tough, real tough. I would spy Wilson with Riley and use more fast pass rushers like Chris Wilson. Also do lots of CB blitzes.
