[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 627006"] Is Seattle a quality team? Absolutely. Even if the refs had not hosed Detroit, with Seattle now sitting a 1-3, I see a team every bit the threat they were last season. A 1-3 start might have cost them a bye, but as it stands I would not say that's out of the question. In the Chicago shutout, the Bears had 10 possessions and punted 10 times, never getting past the Seattle 45. Even if it was Jimmy "Frickin'" Clausen, that's one impressive defensive display. Detroit's lone TD was on a fumble recovery. On their 10 offensive possessions, they punted 8 times, managed a FG, and then count the fateful play however you wish...that's 18 punts in the opponents last 20 possessions. And that's 3 opponents' offensive points over 8 quarters (or a theoretical 10 points) while not having generated a turnover! This defense is hitting on all cylinders now. And lets face it, except for the fateful 5 minutes this is a ball control offense that often doesn't score many points. As a reminder, Seattle started 3-3 last season; after that they won games by scores of 13-9, 19-3, 19-3, 17-7 and 20-6. The Seattle defense, and thereby the team as a whole, look to be ahead of last year at this time despite the 3-1 record at that juncture last season. [/QUOTE]
