I can't wait for the Skins to shock the world!

I agree with this, but what is really weird is as they talk about Seattle, I am usually thinking ok but the Skins do that too. For example, Adam Schein yesterday was listing his reasons for Seattle and it was something like this:

• qb who is mature and protects the ball.
  great running back
  creative headcoach
  team on a hot streak

and I kept thinking so when are you going to saay something that describes only Seattle.
I think the numbers favor Seattle slightly, but they are skewed by a few games and Seattles homefield advantage. I think our strengths, varied run options, a good midrange passing game- primarily playaction, actually matchup very favorably against what the seahawks are built to stop.

This game may come down to the wire but I will be seriously stunned if the seahawks beat us.

I heard Schein's breakdown too and I was also wondering what from his list didn't also apply to the Skins.

It's almost like everyone forgot this week that we've won 7 straight, are playing at home, and have the #1 rushing offense in the league.

I think everyone that's been drooling all over Seattle is in for a bit of a surprise come Sunday evening.

ugh, people are just totally discounting our team (while playing up RG3 - if he was healthy). I hope the Skins show up huge.

But to Schein's breakdown, he almost always says he will take the better coach, the better qb. By that standard we win today, and I don't think it's close with regard to coaching.
