How to beat Seattle

Seattle is not the team they were the past two years, obviously.

Thing is, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Seattle.

Pete Carroll knew coming into the season that the Seahawks were not going to be able to rely on Marshawn Lynch forever. They pursued Jimmy Graham, clearly to make the passing offense more potent.

It is taking the team a few games to adjust, this is true.

HOWEVER, this does not mean that Seattle is incapable of lighting up a scoreboard.

The best defense in the NFL will be on the other side of the field on Sunday. They are always capable of scoring. 

The Seattle offense is adjusting to a new offense that Pete Carroll believes gives them the best chance to win. If I am the Bengals, I gameplan for a worst case scenario, and that is a repeat of the Super Bowl from two years ago.

Seattle will not like being an underdog, and I believe they are still the team with the most potential to completely dominate any team in the league on any given Sunday (over New England, Green Bay, and ourselves - and maybe Denver).

They will be mad. They will be aggressive. They will be trying to blow us "Bungals" out of the water from the start. Prepare for it, Marvin. 

Exactly right.

If we beat this team I'll be very impressed.  This could easily be the trap game the Patriots were last year.

I can see us doing it - if we have our big boy pants on from the start.
