In the last two years they have blown out Dallas (27-7), Arizona (58-0), San Francisco (42-13), New Orleans (34-7), and San Francisco again (29-3)--not to mention throttling some lesser teams at home. It's a place where you can get beat handily if you aren't at the top of your game. Last year, both New Orleans and San Fran were throttled at Seattle in the regular season before losing in tight games in the playoffs. I'm going to wait a few weeks before I let panic set in. That is all.
Seattle is a very good team and VERY tough at home....and it showed last night. Make a few mistakes and things get out of hand fast. They proved they are the team to beat....it will be tough but it's not impossible. GB has some work to do though....
