70% chance of PM showers. Russell has shown during his career that he is not a bad weather QB (Rain, snow, heat). He will have trouble with his grip on the ball and have hit jitters at the start of the program.
Jacoby Brissett has gained rhythm and looked like a decent QB the last few weeks. He's not a world beater, but he is sneaky fast and isn't afraid to run and make plays with his feet. He is EXACTLY the type of QB which gives us fit. Look at Tyrod Taylor last year or Johnny Manziel 2 years ago. They made the game much more difficult than it needs to be for us. He is building a solid repertoire with TY Hilton and Jack Doyle.
TY Hilton bent over this secondary back during our SB year. That was when this defense was actually hungry. We have lost the fire. TY Hilton just exploded last week and I envision the same. We have no one on defense asides Earl that can keep up with his speed. If the Colts are smart and make him line up on the same side as Jeremy Lane....god help us.
Frank Gore. Mr Reliable. He won't amaze you with his talent any more, but he knows our defense from the SF Days. His vision is still excellent and he will pick up yards and frustrate us. Not 100 yds (i hope to god no), but I see around 80-90yds + 1 TD for him.
Robert Turbin. He plays for the Colts. Whatever knowledge they didn't possess about the offense, they'll know from Robert. He used to be Russell's roommate. Whatever trash / dirt he has, the defense will be using during the game.
Seahawks OL. I don't know what to expect. We haven't faced elite units so far but have made every unit we've faced so far look Elite. Lets hope we continue to improve.
Seahawks WR. If Doug is out, who will create separation and catch the ball consistently.
Russell. He will play Heroball as usual....but will force feed to Jimmy. I can see 1 maybe even 2 interceptions due to him forcing the ball to Jimmy.
Seahawks Defense. They WILL get beat by TY Hilton deep atleast 1, lets hope its not for a TD.
Score: Seahawks 24 - Colts 23
This will be a much closer game than people expect. Russell won't play well with the rain and will make mistakes to Jimmy due to Doug's injury. Gore will sneak in a TD. TY will beat us deep. And I envision a TD from Jacoby Brissett Running. We'll sneak by a win and will be frustrated even more due to the margin of victory.
