Prognosticating the Seattle Houston game is difficult for the average fan. The Texans site is not a very good place to find video or any useful info on the team. Thier highlights from the Ravens game is actually from the Ravens. Strange. There were no actual Texans plays on thier highlights video.
Based on what little I could find and the enemic Ravens Defense allowing only 9 points and thier own fans description of Schaub's abilities I am confident of a Hawks win.
Schaub isn't a mobile QB and the Seahawks will have a field day forcing hurried throws from an inaccurate QB. The tone will be set early and often as I predict no less than 4 ints by the Hawk secondary giving Russell Wilson abundant opportunities to score.
After this game it will be clear to most observers that Seattle's old reputation for poor road performances is a thing of the past.
I see this game as a good tuneup for the more difficult game at Indy the next weekend.
Seattle defense will continue to dominate and post the lowest allowed scores. passing yards and overall yardage.
Seahawks 31 Texans 6
Yeah I would say you are correct that this is a good tuneup game for the hawks to have while on the road.facing one of the better teams on the road to get prepared for the colts on the road which yeah will be a more difficult game for them. they will be their toughest test of the year to face.
These next two games Hug,Im sure you can agree will be a good measuring stick for them on how far they will go this season.If they can win these next two games,then they will have sent a message to the rest of the league they are a force to be reckoned with anywhere they play and like you said,their reputation of having poor performances on the road will all be a thing in the past.
This being their toughest stretch of the season,if they win these two games,then I will be with you and sold that they are going to go undefeated the rest of the way and win the whole thing.
