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.
