Seattle Seahawks Blue Friday: Week 2 Roundtable – Titans Talk

Question 5- Do the Seattle Seahawks need to dominate the game along the same lines as Arizona’s shellacking of the Titans to stay in the conversation for best in the NFC West?
Ed: No, the Seattle Seahawks don’t need to dominate, just win. You are what your record says you are. Starting 2-0 is good enough. The Seahawks will have six opportunities to show what they can do against NFC Division division opponents later in the season.
Chris: What is dominating? It’s in the eye of the beholder. Yes, Arizona dominated the Titans last week. However, you can make an argument that Seattle dominated Indy. Minus Indy’s last score against a mostly prevent-style defense, the game wasn’t a one-score contest.
Seattle was in control and really went after Indy’s core foundation as a team. Which is “Run the Damn Ball”. Now, fans in Indy are questioning GM Ballard and HC Frank Reich if they’re the right guys to lead the team. I’d say that’s a good case for dominating an opponent.
Chip: I’m good with 2-0 whether the Seahawks win 30-0 or 7-6. Arizona has enough to worry about against the Vikings.
Andrew: Pete Carroll’s offensive philosophy and the team’s style of play don’t really lend themselves to blowouts. If they walk away with a 10 point win that’s the Seattle equivalent of a 3 score point differential.
Chandler Jones is having himself a day. That’s four sacks and two forced fumbles for the #AZCardinals pass-rusher! @chanjones55
