That is what a lot of people would love for you to believe, and I hope they keep doing exactly that. Thomas Rawls ran for 161 yards on Saturday night against a defense that has allowed an average of 109 against teams all season. With every thing being on the line for them as well, I hardly think they all just laid down and let Rawls run all over them.
The Lions defense did everything that they could to shut him down and couldn't. Was it all Rawls doing? Not at all, our low budget offensive line have finally blossomed in the past couple of games and are finally able to chew bubblegum and tie their shoelaces at the same time.
Our offensive line investment in time and effort is finally paying off. By helping to open up the running game and provide Russell with the much needed few seconds to get his passes off, the Seattle Seahawks have finally come full circle and are going to pay big dividend from here on out.
What we witnessed was no fluke, getting our running game going, and make no mistake about it, it is going, it opens up our passing game, because at long last the defense has to contend with a viable running game from Seattle. I give all kinds of credit to Russell, Rawls, and all the other RBs and receivers, but I give much more credit to our offensive line who are finally in sync and playing like a complete unit.
I really hope the Falcons believe their own BS and practice to try and contain Russell in the pocket, and try to insure Julio is free to run the field without coverage, because they are going to find themselves disappointed all the way around this next week, with our defense also having gotten itself back in sync and looking a whole lot more like the legion of boom than we have seen this season. A lot of young ones on the defense, but they are super smart, learn fast, and don't make the same mistakes twice. Our opponents better look to try lots of new stuff, because the old stuff won't fly against this crew any more and there is only so many tricks in the bag and they know most all of them now.
The Seattle Seahawks are no fluke, what you saw this past Saturday night was the real Seahawks playing the way we know they can play. There isn't a team out there that they can't give a serious challenge to at this moment in history, and certainly isn't a team out there that they can't beat if the winds are at their back. There is that element of pure dumb luck that will always be a part of football. With a healthy 12th man it seems that dumb luck always has a way of finding itself into Seahawks games when they have needed it the most.
Keep the faith folks, the fat lady hasn't sung yet, and isn't scheduled to anytime soon, Lady Gaga is singing in the Super Bowl and she isn't fat, lmao.
Go Seahawks !!
