when looking back at that game thats the one play that keeps coming to my mind too. that deal would have then and we need to get after them from the first quarter right on thru the 4th quarter.. bring the intensity and emotion that you have displayed the past 4 weeks and let the rest take care of itself then we might be looking at round two of the playoffs.

If we can do what we did in 2005 which was hold them to 20 points, I think this time around our offense will be good enough to win the game. Our offense was terrible at that point of 2005. Brunell was not healthy. We had Taylor Jacobs and Jimmy Farris as our #2 and #3 receivers. Portis was banged up. Randy Thomas had broken his ankle and his replacements were not cutting it. (Remember the fiasco of putting Corey Raymer in at one point?) I think the Seahawks will be one dimensional because this time around they will be behind on the scoreboard. Collins is bona fide. Portis is at the peak of his powers. Moss is back at full speed. Cooley is as Cooley does. Randle El and Caldwell/McCardell are good for 2 to 3 big catches each. Yoder can catch the ball in a pinch and surprise their defense. Ditto Thrash. Betts is a handful. And I expect to see gadget plays both on offense and special teams. If the defense can play physical and avoid the big plays, that should be enough. They don't have to shut out the opponent or score points themselves this time around.
