I know we still have 1 week left this season, but the regular season is pretty much over for Seattle. Time to start looking at the playoffs and keys to get Seattle to the SB.
1. My #1 key? Crowd noise. Yup, the fans are going to have to "get hoarse" during these playoffs, even if our team gets down 14-0 early in one of these 2 games. We have HOME FIELD advantage folks and it's time for us to shine on the NFL pedestel.
2. Hasselbeck 3's C's: Just as he has done all year, he needs to stay Cool, Calm, and Consistant. Again, this team will not have been really challenged these last 3 weeks of the season and it's key for him to come out confident. He cannot have happy feet or make mistakes if we fall behind.
3. Defense: keep the pressure on the opposing team by blitzing. Coupled w/ key #1, crowd noise and blitzing = false starts....ask the Giants about those, I believe they have 14 of those against us when we played them at home.
4. Alexander, show some anger: He's our #1 cog and teams are going to come after him....he's going to need to play w/ more fire than ever. I would love for him to talk some smack after running someone over...same goes for Strong and the rest of the team. I strongly believe teams are going to come in and think they can bully us around because we are a somewhat soft team.....do the PUSHING, don't be pushed.
More to follow as we know more about our first round opponent.
