Completely hypothetical of course but what would this scenario look like? Would it be as bad a stomping as we gave the Broncos or would the 05 offense have some success?

Loved that 05 team but no way do they beat 13. Holmy's (somewhat) predictable play calling would be a joy for Pete to defend and (hide your eyes SA fans) Alexander would be falling at Hass' feet every time he was handed the ball. That's not hating on SA. His patented safety first approach to the game wouldn't net him many yards against this bruising D, IMO.

You've dismissed the two most powerful RT & RG in Seahawks history, as possibly being unable to exploit the 2013 D-line, you do recall the manhandling those two gave other Defenses, giving SA a bunch of Red Zone punch-ins?hawknation2014":387bhpmh said:twisted_steel2":387bhpmh said:I don't know, running behind Walt and Hutch on the left, I think would open some holes.

The Seahawks allowed just four rushing TDs all season (tied with Carolina for fewest in the league). The 49ers, for the sake of comparison, allowed 11 rushing TDs. The Seahawks also allowed just six runs of 20 or more yards and a mere 19.7% of the runs against them resulted in first downs. Teams ran on Seattle because they knew they could not throw the ball, but they didn't have much success-- averaging less than four yards per carry.

Yea I know about all the bad calls and I am still upset about it. But the 05 Hawks were not good enough to overcome the refs and Pitts D. The 13 version would have.
Therefore I believe 05 Hawks would struggle to get 10 points against 13 Hawks. Denver's O was way better than the 05 Hawks and they couldn't do anything against the 13 Hawks and the safety has nothing to do with Denver's ineptitude.
13 Hawks would crush 05 Hawks. Like the 13 Broncos' the 05 Hawks cruised through a weak schedule and didn't play many tough teams. Their O was padded by weak opponents like Denver.
Love the 05 Hawks but they just are not the same team as 13 version.

I'm not exactly sure what your point is... I'm just saying SA (NFL MVP) running behind 1 Hall of Famer, and a future Hall of Famer, would have created some holes on that D. At least way more running success than Denver. unno:
Those two teams aren't alike at all.Escamillo":2fb7xuie said:The 2005 Seahawks is like the 2013 Broncos
