I will agree that Flutie is tough to get to, but I see Seattle making the big plays when it counts. Are you seriously telling me that Andre Reed is going to beat Shawn Springs one on one (who could be his son at that age)? I don't think so. Don't forget that Seattle has a pretty good defense as well. They intercepted Erik Kramer 4 times last week and, as accurate as Kramer is, that is hard to do. The D-line is quick and the linebackers (with Chad Brown) are good as well. Let's not forget the home field advantage. How many penalties do you think Buffalo will have for a false start? I say 5 minimum. That is always a big key in any game. I think it will be a fairly close game, but Seattle will want it more. Coaching edge goes to Holmgren as well. Seattle 24 Buffalo 14

Hi Doby, Yes the Seahawks' "ground game sucks." If they start spreading the field, that will change. It probably won't change before then. FB Reggie Brown has 8 carries this year. He should get more than that in a single game. Let's not even get started on Ahman Green. Here's a guy with Galloway's speed who has sat the bench, even though Holmgren says every tuesday in the press conference that, "we might use him this next game." It's another one of those situations that the fans around here don't understand. Again, if the guy is fumbling in practice, why is he returning kickoffs in the games? Maybe Watters would get bent out of shape if he had to share the load. As it is, Watters has a knack for turning 15-yarders into 3-yarders.... The Seahawks beat the Raiders because of crowd noise and perhaps a tad of "referee welfare." Have you factored in the crowd noise and possibly favorable refs in the Kingdome into your equation? I think the crowd noise is the intangible that carries the day for the 'Hawks. Flutie may be elusive, but I like the quickness of the 'Hawks front 7 to contain him. We're banged up at Safety with Daryl Williams and Merton Hanks hurt. Williams is questionable.. not sure about Hanks. WR Jordan is still questionable with the hamstring, and he's the only other deep threat outside of Green. Look for another 13-10 game... edge to the Seahawks. (do I say that every time they play in the dome? <g>) FWIW Andy
