[QUOTE="MarkAshton, post: 198419, member: 1017"] I haven't watched Favre play enough over the last year or two to see how he handles pressure. I suppose I'd have to give him the benefit of the doubt. Hall of famers typically do ok with pressure. :) I scanned his stats fore the year and it looks like he had about an average year in terms of interceptions - 15 for the year and a 2.8% INT pct. He only got sacked 15 times which suggests your O line is pretty good and/or he's still nimble. Hasselbeck was only intercepted 12 times (2.1%) so he doesn't give the ball up a lot...but he does sometimes make mistakes under pressure. He threw two critical INT's last weekend in the unimportant game against Atlanta. One maybe significant stat: he was sacked 33 times this year. That's likely the result of the high number of passing attempts (562) compared to Favre (535) and our weak running game. It'll be pretty interesting to see if Kerney and Peterson are able to break down your O line, especially in the first half. As I menioned in another post, our defense is fast but small so they tend to wear down a bit in the second half. Our best hope is to put a lot of pressure on Favre in the first half, force a turnover or two and give the Seattle offense a lead. Despite the fact that the Seahawks tend to tire out some in the second half, they don't generally allow many points in the second half...just lots of yards. One other intersting stat I ran into. Green Bay picks up a LOT of penalty yards! They were second worst in the NFL (after lowly Arizona) with 1006 yards for the season. The Seahawks, on the other hand, were best in the NFL with 428 penalty yards. I wonder if that might be a factor? [/QUOTE]
