A Forgotten Fact About the First Seattle Game

[gmb1]

Yeah I remember now. I was pretty pissed at Zeke, IMHO.

 

[Dallasfann]

Earl Thomas had 2 picks against us one was just pure flukey/luck that he caught inches from the ground. Zeke cost us several points yet still ran ALL over them. Did I forget to mention Cooper wasn't on our team then? We are the better team.

 

[Melonfeud]

I’m having a mental lapse, what were Zeke’s mental lapses?

They also had Earl Thomas back then.

Yeppers,,,and,,,by his very actions in that game, earned him the overtly employed voodoo hex of wrecked CASING-LINER syndrome I felt compelled to summon forth upon him,Too!

This game will come down to which offense is the most aggressive and successful early on. This wont be a replay of the in season matchup. We need a 14 point lead for cushion early,then we can pound the hell out of Zeke and beat them down.I hate our odds if its close late. Seattle seems to have our number in those kinds of games.

 

[TexasHillbilly]

Seattle will have all these things that we have mentioned in the game plan to defeat us. Question is, can Dak take care of business, protect the ball make smart decisions?

I say he can. will it be enough to win? Not sure. Either way, it will be a good game. May the better team win.

redemption time ZEKE!

 

[JohnsKey19]

He actually had an easy time running the ball vs their front. The game just got away from us and we couldn't stick to the run later in the game.

 

[CF74]

He stepped out of bounds because the pass was late
As soon as defender ran past him it should have been thrown
He was drifting out watching and waiting for the pass and got too close to the sideline
A quick pass would have been a big gain

I'm sure Zeke remembers how he played. I bet it gets him pumped up for Saturday night.

 

[Blast From The Past]

What’s long? He has speed but he’s not a regular 50+ yard guy but he will rack up the 20+ yard runs. Generally it seems like safeties and corners are faster than him. His biggest plays seem to be screens when he has blockers in front of him because of his elite vision.

He’s ironically a lot like Emmitt in the sense that he rarely loses yards and can regularly turn no gain into 3-4 yards. He’s also a great all around back like Emmitt.

On the contrast, the guy on the Giants can be bottled up all game and break a 50 yard highlight play. Nobody pays much attention to the negative plays though that tend to stall drives and lose games. It’s hard to lose with backs that get positive yards every play like Zeke and Emmitt.

Barry Sanders was a lot like Barkley, dude was spectacular in his career but lost a lot of yards behind the line of scrimmage.

WE NEED a game plan that features a passing attack to open it up for Zeke. Seattle will come out ready to stop him. We can run many RPO's to catch them off guard. Its not business as usual against these guys. If Linehan isn't creative, we can expect to lose.

Exactly!!! Pass the ball early in the game, especially on 1st down, then when they start worrying about the pass, safeties back etc., we run over them with Zek. Don’t be predictable Linehan!!!

That wasn’t Dak’s fault. That was Zek’s fault. He had plenty of room to make the catch and stay in bounds. We all know Dak makes mistakes. We here it all the time.This wasn’t one of them.

SEATTLE WANTS AN UGLY BAREKNUCKLE BRAWL...LOW SCORING. We cant beat them like that. We need to shock and aw them fast.Then we can rely on Zeke.

 

[SoupcanSam]

After looking at the week 3 game the seahawk basically had that game handed to them. They did nothing special and if Dallas didnt shoot themselves in the foot they beat that crappy team easily.

I expect Dallas to win this one with ease.

Seattle and Russell have no problem attempting to air it out in a passing attack.

With all due respect to both teams....both teams are playing far better now than they were back then. I personally wouldn't even use that game to dictate what might happen on Saturday night.

 

[JBond]

Zeke played poorly and had some horrible mental lapses. That's not a performance he's likely to repeat this time. Look for a focused and more determined effort from him Saturday.

I thought I was going to read a fact based post.

Dallas has gotten better than what Seattle has.

Seattle have basically survived on an overrated run game that has run on a slew of crappy run defenses. Dallas will be their first test and i expect good results.

Seattles defense is not good and have allowed 140 rush yards or more the last 3 games while struggling against arizona.

I dont buy that they have changed that much.

I am sure he remembers and will use it for motivation
