Go Army!
Yah... and I think our running game will be solid with Penny. Seattle would've likely made the playoffs if we didn't have Blair fuckin' Walsh. He definitely lost us 1 game (against the Skins, with 3 missed field goals where 2 were like in the 30s).
I think we had 11 wins with a league average kicker. The game-losing FG vs Arizona plus the Skins game. And while I can't put the Atlanta loss squarely on him, an NFL kicker should be able to at least not leave a 52 yarder short.
They are no longer the trendy pick, and lots of other teams' fans don't like PC. They also have rooting interest in seeing Seattle not be as good. Many fans (and maybe even some "experts") have also decided that the line is going to be bad no matter what we do to it, and it will doom the team.I don't get why everyone is so down on Seattle this year... if I wasn't a fan (bias aside) I'd totally pick them as a dark horse.
