Official Game Day Thread: Jaguars @ Seahawks 10/11: WIN 41 - 0

Jacksonville Jaguars (2-2, 2-1 Tied-2nd in AFC South) at Seattle Seahawks (1-3, 1-1 3rd in NFC West)
Kick-off Time: 4:15 ET, 1:15 PT
Location: Qwest Stadium
Announcers: CBS Kevin Harlan (play-by-play) and Solomon Wilcots (Color Commentator)
Last Meeting: Jaguars 26-14 in Jacksonville Opening Week. Seahawks would end going to the Super Bowl.
Analysis:
Matt Hasselbeck returns to action for the Seahawks after having missed two-games in which they lost. With Hasselbeck back, but three of the Seahawks starting offensive linemen out look for them to try and establish the passing game. Nate Burleson was Hasselbeck’s go-to-guy in week one and should see an increase in receptions this week. Especially with the Seahawks most likely going to attack Brian Russell and see if his Seahawk play has carried over with him. Julius Jones had an off week after having been quite successful the week before. Look for him to try and find something to give with the injured line, but might see Owen Schmitt making some receptions in the backfield to try and decoy the Jaguars.
Defensively the Seahawks need to get to David Garrard. When no one gets to Garrard he’s shown he’s a force at quarterback, but when pressure is on him a lot of the time he gets rattled and turns it over. Patrick Kerney is out this week, but Lawrence Jackson has been playing like the Seahawks thought he could when they took him the first-round and Darryl Tapp will give the 12th Man a look at the possible future of the end position. Josh Wilson returns to action allowing the passing defense to upgrade compared to Kelly Jennings starting. Lofa Tatupu also returns and will help Aaron Curry maybe not get as covered as much. However the main thing the Seahawks can do is apply pressure. Something they haven’t done much this year or in the past year.
Prediction: Seahawks 17-14. In a close battle till the end Mare hits a game-winning field goal after a missed one, but an off-sides by the Jaguars lets him redeem himself.

NFL doesn't allow NFL games on t3h interwebz

Re: WEEK 5: JAGUARS @ SEAHAWKS GAMEDAY THREAD

It wasn't Del Rio. The Hawks defense brought pressure and Garrard couldn't handle it. When they didn't, he completed passes. The Hawks also forced turnovers, which didn't happen much prior to this game.

At the end of the game the Seahawks ran the clock down. I believe they started the drive with 11 minutes or so and the Jags couldn't stop Edge from picking up the 1st down when he needed to.

Re: WEEK 5: JAGUARS @ SEAHAWKS GAMEDAY THREAD

Anyone notice B-Russ out there? I didn't even know he was a Jag.

Re: WEEK 5: JAGUARS @ SEAHAWKS GAMEDAY THREAD

Bob-
Yeah they signed him about two days after we had cut him. He was the typical Russell we remember.

Re: WEEK 5: JAGUARS @ SEAHAWKS GAMEDAY THREAD
