Seahawks Beat Bills However

The Seattle Seahawks beat the Buffalo Bills Monday night 31-25. It was the eleventh win in a row for the Seahawks on Monday Night Football. Although they won the game you wonder if they will win the war.

Monday night Russell Wilson looked pretty good passing the ball especially in the first half and to tight end Jimmy Graham who can jump over high buildings. Also we saw Wilson score a three yard touchdown running the ball into the end zone; certainly showed us that he must be on the way to recovery from his injuries.

The problem in the game against the Bills is that the running game was another bad one for the Seahawks. For a team that has been making running the ball its primary way of living since Pete Carroll has been in town it was dreadful for sure. I am not sure whether it is the offensive line or the running backs. It will be good when Thomas Rawls can return to the grid iron. Not expected against the New England Patriots but possibly against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Speaking of the Patriots the Seahawks will have to play a lot better game than they have been doing the last three weeks.  In fact for them to win they have to play their best game of the season. They have to keep the offense on the field a lot longer than they have done recently. They don’t necessarily have to score a touchdown every time they have the ball though that would be nice however they need long drives where scoring at least a field goal would be nice. Playing like the last three weeks with the defense on the field so much the Seahawks will lose by a large margin to the Patriots. This game will show everyone where the Seahawks will be. I expect that they will lose however it would be nice to keep it a close game;  a game where they may have a chance to win in the last couple minutes.

I thought the offense was going to try running the ball almost much as passing the ball against the Bills but that did not happen. The Bills played a good game other than winning it. Like most games it is hard to win on the road and that is especially true in Seattle.

Whether the Seahawks win or lose against the Patriots they still have a good chance in making the playoffs. The important thing is to get healthy having the return of Thomas Rawls along with Kam Chancellor and Michael Bennet.  The Seahawks have been known as a second half season team and we hope it will continue again this season. The passing game is intact but they are showing how important running the ball is for them. We need the signs that it is returning. So let’s be positive and take on the Patriots! Go Hawks!!
