There seems to be a lot of media hype around these Seahawks with #1 power rankings being offered up by a few different broadcasters...I'm not sure I'm entirely sold on that right now given the uncertainties on the O-Line and SAM linebacker.

Can't see us losing a home opener against the Dolphins though.

Seattle 20 - Miami 10

34-13 Seahawks. Hawks will lead 13-10 going into half and then pour it on in the second including a pick 6 by Kam

Seahawks win the coin toss and defer.

We get off to a frustratingly slow start, thanks to conservative play calling and Russ struggling with precision on the early throws. Hauschka splits the uprights on a nice 46 yarder to conclude our fourth drive.

Despite a fired up defense we give up five long drives that thankfully produce only 2 field goals for a 6-3 Phins lead late in the 2nd quarter.

On the final Seahawks drive of the 2nd quarter, a clearly frustrated Russ takes an ill-advised scramble and goes out with his first injury on an awkward hit sustained when he chooses to reach out for the first down rather than going out-of-bounds.

Halftime score 6-3 Phins

First drive of the second half, Michael takes some of the pressure off Boykin with a few nice runs for first downs. Boykin responds by throwing his first NFL interception at midfield. Miami takes advantage of the short field for their first TD. 13-3 Phins.

Seahawks come back with a nice, time-consuming drive featuring a lot of running and some safe play action passes. Michael caps off the drive with a nice run up the middle for a 3-yard TD. 13-10 Phins.

Neither team gets much traction through the end of the third and well into the fourth quarter, but Boykin gains some confidence when he connects on some decent, safe passes to Baldwin and Kearse. Although Lockett has been repeatedly open downfield, Boykin has never progressed through his reads enough to realize it. Bevell points it out to him on the sideline.

With 5 minutes left in the game, Boykin reads Lockett open and throws the pass, completely missing Maxwell shading Lockett and baiting the rookie QB. Maxwell takes it to the house to close out the scoring.

Final score Phins 20, Hawks 10.

Postscript - Immediately after the game, Russ is ruled out for the next 3-4 weeks. The Hawks put in a call to T-Jack who returns to lead the team against the Rams in week 2. The good news Rawls looked good in his first game back, although his carries were limited. Graham however does not see a down, and is held out of the week two contest after suffering a strained hamstring in his non-injured leg during practice. Richardson also goes out with a strained hammy and is placed on IR given the prediction of a 6-week plus recovery time. The defense stays relatively healthy except for Kam who suffers a concussion and Wagner who has a minor tweak.

Go Hawks!

I think the offense has been holding back this preseason

I think the biggest threat is Ndowhatever Suh but I think this is his 'get lazy' year.

I think Miami has some great offensive weapons but a mediocre QB and no run game; Arian Foster hasn't been anything for years.

I think Miami has a wierd defensive speed in the back end / too much age on the front end with their defense

I think a first year coach playing on the road in Seattle is doomed.

Two late touchdowns make a seemingly close 24-16 game into a 38-16 blow out.

I think it could end up being a real ugly slugfest. So many unknowns with exactly what we have in both teams. Also could be a game where the Hawks start slow and play down to the competition. That said, the Hawks have more talent and experience, so they have the clear edge.

20-13 Hawks

Just for the record, if you get the outcome and score correct but miss on the inactives, you still lose.

Good God!!!! I hope you are very wrong sir.
