The What If Game

[CalvinSmoke]

We would have been shut down pretty bad offensively. Sherman might completely blank torrey, he's Dang bear his worse nightmare, long and physical. SSS would have had his hands full. Chancellor would keep Daniels busy (Gronk made playsbbuy didn't kill the Seahawks)

We would have to have leaned on Forsett and some Flacco magic to win that game

The real question is what if the Steelers had Le'Veon Bell that game but we had a healthy secondary. Would we have beat them?

I think we would have won against the Seahawks as banged up as they were. The Seahawks would have shut Justin Forsett down pretty well, but Kam Chancellor had a torn MCL, Richard Sherman had a torn up elbow, and Earl Thomas had a torn shoulder. When your top 3 defenders have pretty significant injuries, its hard to defend any offense let alone Tom Brady or Joe Flacco (in this scenario). In my honest humble opinion...the Patriots got LUCKY from the Hawks being as banged up as they were.

As far as the Hawks offense, we beat Kaepernick in the SB when he was gashing defenses for 100yds a game on the ground in the 2012 playoffs, so we could find away around Russell Wilsons legs. It would be a solid and very close game in my opinion. I think we would win 26-17. I think at the end of the day Flacco could find a way to attack the beat up secondary and score a few TDs.

So yes I think we could find a way to beat the banged up Seahawks had we faced them in the SB, however a fully healthy Seahawks squad would be a very tough challenge, it would take a mistake free game from Flacco.
