I figured that since news came out today that CJ Prosise will not play on Sunday we could get this thing started.

I don't see the Colts having much of a chance in this game, so being cautious with CJ is fine by me. Bottom line, it's a nationally televised game at home and we are playing the Colts..........this will be ugly just as it should be to an inferior opponent. Of course anything is possible, but with the talent on this team we'll smoke the Colts even if the coaching staff continues to try and lose these games. As we continue to establish the run by coming out throwing down after down (makes no sense to me either) this will be the one where those passes connect and the O starts to look good early in the game.

Gotta get right and this is the perfect game to do it. 2-2 after Sunday :thumb:

sorry i wrote up my topic before i had seen a Colts. Then after i posted it yours was up :P

Guess i took to long to write it haha.

Agreed, in my thread i listed thing i want to see in this game to make me feel better about the Hawks and one of those things is a DOMINATING WIN! This one shouldn't even be close at the Clink and it better not be.

LOL! All good :thumb:

Apparently Pete just said CJ is still questionable even though I saw someone on social media say he was out. Either way, he's not a key factor in beating the Colts so if he has an injury I just assume keep him out and let McKissic go.

All BS with this team aside, my confidence is high for this one. I think it's a landslide win if not for anything than the overwhelming talent difference.

I think we will smash them. Some fair criticism of the D after last game, but so far I think 5 of the 6 halves have been close enough in performance that the 2nd half vs TEN is a clear outlier and doesn't have me all that concerned. That side of the ball should get back on track in a big way on Sunday.

For the O, I would like to see them put it in Russell's hands from the beginning. It just seems to work better when we do that. Let the pass set up the run. The line seems to play better with an increased pace as well. Let's not wait until we are up against the wall.

Bummer about Prosise. He clearly brings a dimension to the offense that the other backs cannot.

19-3-1 in prime time games with PC as the coach.

That's why i say anything less than a blow out win against a very bad Colts team is needed. If they play another 12-9 type game like against a Bad 49ers team then peoples warning meter better be pegged.

I think Chris Carson will have a good game and hopefully get his first rushing TD. Just a dream...

Yeah, on paper Hawks should win, especially w/ a back up QB starting on the road against the Hawks... Not an easy thing to do at the Clink...

I expect a blowout as well... 38-10 type of a game...

Sad that CJ is hurt, again, but too be honest, it's as expected... No?

I want to see both sides play well. I want the offense to be effective right at the start and not sputter for a half. If that means playing up tempo then do that.

Get the run game going and the deep passes.

I will be surprised if the defense gives up double digits points.

Sure would be nice to see a dominating game from the Seahawks.

To be fair, we dominated the Niners. The scoreline didn't reflect that though.

Be nice to see some early scoring from the Seahawks and put the game away early. Just not sure the Seahawks are there yet.

The D shit the bed in the second half but they're capable of over coming that this week and I think (hope) the offense finally snapped out of the funk so I'm thinking they put it together this week, get the W and maybe finally turn the corner to get things rolling.

I hope for establishing the run game early. I don't think that is required to beat the Colts, but we have to start running the ball at some point.
If we plod along at 2ypc, the run game gets tossed but I want to see some power running.

Really should be a resounding W but always wary of teams with nothing to lose so they can't be taken lightly. Running the ball is paramount to me. And that means up the gut with Carson and/or Wilson using his legs on the edge if the Colts D is crowding the box. Do not run the ball wide with the RB's. The line isn't good enough to block out there and they lose yards or barely get anything. Nothing wrong with a few short passes and yac yards either. I would rather have vanilla dink and dunk and consistent ball movement and TOP then those highlight reel bombs and flashy shit anyway. When the safeties start creeping up, then they can try to get behind them. I agree about the up tempo thing. It wears the opposing D down early and let's RW dictate the game and get in a rhythm. If I see Ryan kicking 4-5 times in the first half again, I'll probably just quit watching.

So we are wanting more scoring early and a decisive win, and we also want power running? Do these things go together any more? The O came alive last week when it was put in Russell's hands to let him get up to the line a little quicker and sling it around.

Prosise AND Rawls are both inactive tonight... Looks like we'll get a dose of Lacy and Carson, that's if we try and establish our running game... Lacy should be very Hungry tonight in so many ways... He's getting his shot...

Leave it to NBC to interview Bennett for the Pre game show, sorry Michael, you've attained Ed Murray status with this faithful Seahawk fan.
