Seahawks are pretenders

I am going to say it here first. I am going to be the first to say that the Seattle Seahawks better hope that Pittsburgh is off their game come Superbowl Sunday, because if the Steelers are ready, there ain't no way in hell Seattle is going to beat them. I say this because of a couple of reasons. I used to sit and watch my Atlantic 10 Mountaineers cream everybody. They would kill St. Bonaventure. They would bash St. Joseph. They would bump Temple around. Then they would go to the NIT or the NCAA finals and get waxed by the Eastern Kentucky Hilltoppers. Or go down to Old Dominion. You know why? Because of strength of schedule. A team can only play as good as it's competition for the most part. Marshall is all the time spanking around Kent State, and Akron. Go and try that shit with the last place SEC team. Ole Miss will beat Marshall 9 times out of 10. West Virginia just took on UCLA at UCLA. Walked all over them for almost the entire game. Just breezed through. Why? Because West Virginia plays against the best everytime out in their conference. UCLA is the first place team in the PAC-10 but can't hold a candle to the Mountaineers. That is going to be the Seahawk problem. They play in a weak ass conference. Arizona. The prennial loser. Haven't been in a playoff game since Neil Lomax..........in St. Louis! San Franciso. The last thing they won was Alex Smith and that was for being the biggest loser in the NFL last year. And last and almost least. The Rams. They were the cream of this mediocre crop of wanna bes. At the top you have Seattle. A team that has been comming on for years now. And comming, and comming, and comming..............FINALLY they get to the playoffs. 1984 was the last time they got in. I was 10 years old. I remember them getting their asses kicked by the Los Angeles Raiders. Or thats how I remember it anyway. Sean Alexander has not faced a defense like this all year. They played a good Washington team..........and lost. They played a good defense in Dallas and they won that one. Otherwise............pretty much nobodys and also rans. San Fran twice. Cardinals twice. St. Louis twice. Now you can make the case that Cleveland and Baltimore are in Pittsburghs conference. Clevelands schedule was a hell of alot harder than Seattles. They played the Bengals twice, the Steelers twice, Indianapolis during week 3 when they weren't sitting half their team, and Chicago. Not to mention 2 tough interconference matchups with the Ravens. Seattles strength of schedule is something like 27th. Thats cremepuff. I have not had any respect for Matt Hasselback ever since I let the computer pick my team in Madden and he ended up as my quarterback. He was terrible. Usually it doens't matter who is quarterbacking in Madden just sling it and someone will catch it. With Mr. Hasselback at the controls my teams languished and didn't make the playoffs. That's my only reason. For years the man has been a punching bag and I hear about now how he's almost Jesus. Seattle has a good running game and an average passing attack. Smack Alexander around a little and he'll cough it up. Pittsburgh has faced some of the best running backs in the NFL this year and none of them have done squat. Alexander will be no different. This game is going to get blown open. Neither team has the ability to score alot of points and each defense feeds off of playing with a lead. If either team gets much of a lead on the other its curtains. The team playing from behind will have to do things that are going to get them in trouble and the defense will capitalize on the forced mistakes. That is Pittsburghs game. Control the tempo. Sit on the lead. Seattle is toast.
