Prediction? We barely squeak out a win Saturday, then lose in NO.

But if Russell and the offense don't switch up their schemes, formations and tempo? I can easily see the Rams coming in here and holding our offense to 10 points.

IMO this is Schotty's most important game he's ever called. If he thinks he can just call business as usual with the slow plodding run the play clock to zero and allow the Rams defense to read every single play, know exactly what the play is and think he can match up to their #1 defense?

We're gonna lose.


I think when you play a team like the Rams with one of the best D's in the league, You have to not turn the ball over and execute with the opportunities that you get... we don't know what Schotty is going to do... but I'll tell ya what forcing the deep ball and taking a bunch of chances is NOT going to win this game against this D... The Hawks need to get their run game going and hit the deep ball when it is there... if it's not they just need to be patient and move the chains taking what is given to them...Hopefully schotty will exploit some favorable matchups...

On The Rams are probably going to start wolford... if the Hawks can just play good solid D and get some pressure on him he will make mistakes and the Hawks will get some turnovers and win the Game...

That's the way I see it...

This is my fear, that Pete will think because the Rams start their backup he can play conservatively and win an ugly 14-6 type of game hoping that Russell can work his magic in the 4th quarter.

IMO in the playoffs, it's time for gloves off throw the entire kitchen sink at teams, ESPECIALLY teams in your division that know how to scheme and frustrate your offense.

So if I see the same slow run the play clock down to zero with Russell being hesitant and cautious? Then you will hear me screaming from my Puyallup house. Because that's how you lose in the playoffs.

You can be careful with the football while still mixing up your formations, playcalling and tempo in order to beat a defense that's not only scary as hell, but knows your tendencies inside and out.

Time to unleash a little, with a nice mix of the running game and short passing game.
Can't just be ultra conservative. Need to get DK more in the mix imo. They did a pretty job of moving him around, and hitting him with quick passes when he was away from Ramsey. But, can get open against Ramsey, who obviously is a beast. But so is DK.

I agree they are going to have to mix up their formations but forcing the ball down field when it's not there against this D is going to force turnovers... If they get the run game going early it's going to wear down that D and open up the passing game... The Rams know this and will try to take the run game away...so I am hoping the hawks run early and often now matter what LA does...So I think you are right in that play calling and tempo are going to be key... but if they give up on the run game and start forcing shit it's not going to be pretty...

I really think the key to this game is for the Hawks to shut down the Rams run game and go after Wolford or Goff... probably Wolford... I just think if they can get constant pressure on Wilford he will turn the ball over...he will not be able to handle blitz packages thrown at him he doesn't have the experience... If the Hawks can not turn the ball over and score more than 20 points they got this...

With Russel Wilson playing the way he has been playing? Not far at all.

If Russel Wilson suddenly find his dangeRuss mojo? At least NFC championship game.

My prediction is whichever of us wins this weekend also wins the following weekend.

Obviously that means I think Rams can beat GB. But, should that not happen: I think you can take NOLA.

I think you are correct in the Rams being able to beat GB. I think Donald can grab the stick man known as AR rather well.

Our team may win or lose it in N.O. as it would probably be a close game. Probably Over/Under 45.
