surprising that there are no defensive guys in your pick?

Found it on the internet and thought it was a great picture, though I agree it would be nice to have Scandrick, Rolando, Lee, or a few other defensive guys in there. It's a great pic nonetheless.

oh, I love the picture, especially that the Beas and Harris get some love

Don't see how our D with a gimpy McClain at MLB can slow down their run game and hold the Seahawks to only 24 pts at home. Only way that happens is our offense having long drives eating clock.

Something which our offense is among the best at. If we don't have turnovers and can run the ball like we've been able to this year, then we'll be able to dictate Seattle's offense. That will be the key to winning this game, can we do it though? We'll find out soon.

That's been the formula in all our wins.

Kam Chancellor is apparently a no go.

This is the second time I've seen the PPD differential from you and I have to say I'm intrigued. In your opinion, is this an actual strength based on this scheme (allow yards inside the 20s, tighten up in the redzone), or do you think we'll back off that number at some point?

 

[Crown Royal]

Kam Chancellor is apparently a no go.

Chancellor is a really good player, and I believe his height would be tough for a guy like Romo. But Thomas is still the key that makes their defense work, so I wouldn't be sweating too hard if I'm seattle.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Kam Chancellor is apparently a no go.

And their backup center is starting. (per NFL Network)

I am worried that they will dink and dunk and run over our defense with Marshan Lynch. Everyone is focusing on our offense vs their defense, but can our defense stop their offense?

Depends how healthy McClain is. We need to score at least 31 to win, maybe more.
