Last season, week 9 it was DAL 23 (QB T.Romo) SEA 13. In ’09 it was DAL 38 (QB T.Romo) SEA 17, in ’08 it was DAL 34 (QB T.Romo) SEA 9, and in ’05 it was DAL 10 (QB D.Bledsoe) SEA 13. In ’04 it was DAL 43 (QB V.Testaverde) SEA 39, in ’02 it was DAL 14 (QB C.Hutchinson) SEA 17 and in ’01 it was DAL 3 (QB Q.Carter) SEA 29.

Will ’12 season Week 2 be DAL 20 SEA 17, or will our new QB begin to influence SEA more like T.Romo influenced DAL when he became their starter? So far I’ve only seen Schlerith ‘expert’ pick SEA to win this one, but I’d love to see an upset here.

seriously gltrip, it’s like people don’t even watch the game. We played a underrated Cardinals team (maybe even more under rated than seattle) on the road, with a rookie right guard who was a defensive lineman in college, who play like a 7th round rookie tackle who was a defensive lineman in college. Then Wilson mythoically marches the field and the reciever drops the ball in the endzone. With pressure all day, I would say it was a nice cherry popper for Wilson, and that rarely feels good the first time. seeing how he bounces back and plays at home is exciting. All you “fans” who get all pessimistic after 1 close divisional road loss need to rethink the situation. Give it a few weeks

It interesting that if the guy that Seattle brought in to catch the ball,(Edwards) would have caught the ball. He paid enough to make that play and it was a good pass, than all this complaining about RW being a rookie would not even have happen. RW drove the team down the field and put the his team in position to win. I blame the play calling of the OC(fad pass to the corner don’t get that) and Mr Edward for not making the play.

Lynch played fine; and our defense got a lot of pressure on AZ after making some halftime adjustments (w/the big exception of that one Kolb drive) . . .but yeah, our receivers and our O-line, it would sure be nice if they were really strong so our rookie QB would have a bit of an easier time breaking in.

Still and all – I’m expecting a stronger game from RW on Sunday.

With a rookie QB and the O-Line not up to snuff like we all thought, a #1 WR who’s made of glass and can never fuly practice, a RB who keeps having back problems, all of our “good up and coming” players having to sit out practices consistently the past few weeks I could absolutely see the Seahawk’s going 0-4 to start the season. I am sorry. Not trying to be gloom and doom but if 1/2 the dang offense can’t practice (Baldwin, Rice, Lynch, Tate, etc.) how are they going to get into any kind of groove? Preseason means noting, obviously, but the regular season schedule this year is brutal. There will be no easy games at all and that is due to the fact that we have a rookie QB. I am not cashing in my chips for this year but I don’t see seattle making the playoffs until they can go at least 8 games with the same O-line, Lynch healed and practicing and playing and the same goes for Rice. I have just about had it with Rice. Tate too. Complete underachievers compared to how they were advertised. Ridiculous. And like most everyone else has said, Where in the holy hell is our pass rush we heard so much about being upgraded this year? Kolb proved it was non-existent!! KOLB for godssake!! UGH! I really do not like the Cowboys so I am hoping for a win. Romo is a nerd, I cannot stand to look at Miles Austin’s ugly mug and Dez Bryant is a total wanna be thug….Please beat “America’s Team”…..oh and Jerry Jones is an ass-hat….Thank you..

Yea I don’t care if we win by 1 or 100, this team needs a win desperately on Sunday. 0-2 and $hit gets real in a hurry around Seahawks land. This board will lose it’s minds even if some of you say you’re content with a yet another rebuilding year. I’ve let my feelings known that I’m not among you on that front. Ugh, color me apprehensive for this Dallas game..

“Seattle has to show that they are a playoff team this week against Dallas by winning convincingly”

I don’t know about convincingly, but we do need a win, and I’ll take another flubbed FG win if that’s what goes down – - with GB coming into town next week, if we can’t beat Dallas, we could be looking at an 0-3 start, which would really put a damper on the season expectations . . . .

I don’t know if I would say he is a step up from Bates. With the exception of the 3rd and 4th down fade routes, I didn’t hate Bates.

I will say that there are 2 HCs that could be looking for jobs at the end of the year that i would love the Hawks to snag if the opportunity presents itself. Jason Garrett and Norv Turner would be a huge upgrade in my opinion. Or if we are going with pipe dreams, Garrett as OC and Norv as QB Coach

IMO
If the Defense doesnt develop a consistent pass rush (with the QB’s they are going to be facing in the next few weeks) they will get picked apart!
If the Offense can’t prove that they will burn you deep if you contine to send everyone after the QB it’s going to be a very very long season!
Seattle has to show that they are a playoff team this week against Dallas by winning convincingly. You don’t go the playoff by going 0-2 with GB, NE, and SF on the horizon.
