Seattle Kicker Brown Talks Trash About the 'Skins

[skinsfanthru&thru]

why is it that I keep hearing players and the media say Simms had a pretty good game against us? Last time I checked, throwing the ball 38 times for only 198 yards and 2 ints was actually a pretty bad game. Maybe it's cuz it was his first name or maybe it was because of the opposing qb Brunell's rather sad stats, I don't know. And how much would anyone here wanna bet if it had been a big name cornerback like Bailey, Law, or Barber, who made the play Rodgers made to hit Shepards elbow and the ball to keep Shepard from getting a firm hold on the ball would have gotten mad props? Even though it still would have been seen as a missed oppurtunity, there would also be more than one person in the media praising the effort. I think this team is used to not getting respect and that's what has helped make the defense as good as it has been. I think this game will be close but I also think the skins if they play to the level they are capable of as a whole team, it could turn into a blowout.

I, too, think this game could be a blowout. We're gonna shut down Alexander, and last time I checked, Our entire "banged up" secondary will be ready to go. Also, I seem to remember us beating the shit out of the last 4 NFC West teams we've played--including the Seahawks. We had a huge lead against the Seahawks last time we played them, then Gibbs underestimated their offense and played crazy conservative, until overtime where we dialed up a 30 yard pass to Moss and won. He will not let this game get to overtime.

Bravo! Good point. The Skins dared them to pass the whole game and left the middle of the field wide open on purpose. People act like that's the strategy we'll take this week. Plus since when did Matt Hasslebeck become Jone freaking Montana? I don't like making negative statements about opposing players(for karma reasons) but I think some are vastly over-rating this guy. He can be a good QB and have some nice games but lets not put this guy in the HoF just yet.
