And on several third-and-longs (Seattle was in those a lot!), I saw Wilson do the hard count to try and get a free play to throw a bomb. Did the same on a third and four. Not one guy flinched. I don't think I have ever seen them play that disciplined. Dre's penalty was ticky-tacky and both players did the exact same shove less than one second apart, but Dre was shoved in the back. Still can't push back, but stupid as hell from the refs.
Cleveland had 7 personal fouls (that's 105 yards) and their LT was ejected. Totally different discipline, or lack thereof.
I was impressed with the discipline also. Additionally, from my eyes the defense appeared to play very fast, were constantly on the attack and really hand Wilson flustered. On a couple of occasions he looked scared, ready to duck and get the heck out of the pocket.
Hate to lose, but if the team plays like they did Sunday all year they are going to be in and win a bunch of games.
