Point one is a solid one. however, i think most Seahawk fans take solace in remembering what the D was able to do against the Broncos last year. while the Seahawks cant control who they play, its rarely mattered.
Point two is my concern. the Seahawks need pressure from the front 4, or they will be letting New England get down the field with short to intermediate passes that are quicker than what was seen from Manning last year.
let me offer my take on two things Pats fans should be worried about:
The running game is better than you think, because the passing game is better than you think (and vice versa) lots of people hanging their hats on the Pats secondary stopping the Hawks WRs and teeing off on the run game. much, much better Defenses have tried that and not been successful. Green Bay did it for 3 quarters and still lost
The secondary is much better than you think it is. underneath stuff works, and will turn into first downs and even extend drives to field goals. but it takes a toll on the other teams and offense. and by 4th quarter teams just stop moving the ball.
its going to be a good game. really excited for it.
