NFC Championship game
1-20-06 | normy

Posted on 01/20/2006 5:25:16 AM PST by normy

I have had it with the total lack of respect the Seattle Seahawks are getting in the media. I recently watched Sean Salisbury and Mike Golic almost mock the Seahawks on Wednesday.

The Seahawks have probowlers at center,left guard,left tackle,quarterback,fullback and runningback. They have one of the most accomplished head coaches in the NFC and have won 14 games this year.

Carolina is a very inconsistant team who has to fly from Chicago to Carolina then back accross country to Seattle to play in a rain forrest. Carolina is 3rd in the NFL against the run, but Seattle is 5th. Seattle is number one in sacks, I believe Carolina is 2nd. Steve Smith scored two 50+ yard touchdowns against the Bears after the corner fell down. Seattle lost the league MVP had 3 turnovers and still won by 10. The Bears lowly offense put up 21 against Carolina and if the refs call the delay of game against Grossman, the Bears may have well tied that game instead of turning the ball over.

Seattle is 8-0 in Seattle this year and have one of the best offenses in the league. Look for Seattle to not just win but beat hell out of Carolina. Don't worry though Hawk fans, you still wont get respect because Nick Goings is Carolina's runningback and thats how Seattle will be "backing into the Superbowl."

Look for Seattle to exorcise their final demon in the Superbowl when the beat their former AFC West rival, the Denver Broncos, the second most disrespected team in the league for the title.

The Seahawks will win this game against the Panthers.

The Steelers will win over Denver and then go on to claim yet another LOMBARDI TROPHY.

It's gonna be a tough, tough game. I just hope they don't try to rely on Alexander for every other play. They have ALOT of options and should try their darnedest to keep Carolina off guard.

Panther let the Bears put up 21 but are gonna hold the Hawks to 13? I think you have that score reversed.

And Carolina's are better? Granted the Hawks blue, silver and green were way better but the logo is one of the best in the NFL.

I think Holmgren will open it up early with Hasslebeck to get Alexander some running room. Jimmy Williams is being replaced at punt returner so that should keep the Panthers from getting great field position because of fumbles.

as a Bears fan I would like to see Carolina and Denver in the SB with Denver Beating them, because with those 2 teams making the SB it would move the Bears up in the draft from #27 to #25... But i have a feeling it will be Denver an Seattle.

I have been against Jimmy Williams all year. My Dad called me after he fumbled to tell me that he told my mom I was probably wanting to kill him and he was thinking about helping.

The 'Hawks will not stop the cats...the Panthers have been very consistent lately. Delhomme and Smith are the best in the league right now doing what they're doing, and Carolina has the best front four in football. And Fox is a fox.

Carolina is respected, because they have been to the SB recently. When and if Seattle gets there next will be when they get respect.

The Hawks have the best O-line in football so that battle is a push. Smith had a 200+ yard game against an arrogant Bears D and 100 of that was when the corner fell down. I look for Seattle to follow the Dallas game plan against Smith. Darryl Jackson had a huge game on Sunday too but got little press about it. He had almost 150 yards and a touchdown, similar numbers to Smith in his first game against the Giants.

I like Delhomme but Hasslebeck is just better. I also think he will have more time than Jake because of his o-line. Remember, Carolina may have the best front four but Seattle is the NFL sack leader as a team.
