- Seattle's leading 7-3 at the half, but overall the game is trending Rams. Seattle needs a couple of big plays to mask their deficiencies on offense, plus a couple 30-40 yard drives to take pressure off of their defense. The Rams simply conservative you to death. The 2nd quarter was exactly what the Rams wanted, and if Seattle doesn't change things up in the 3rd quarter, odds are the Rams eventually break through to take the lead.
- Russell Okung's ankle is the biggest question for the 3rd quarter (and the rest of the way). If he can't go Seattle's OLine goes from bad to historically bad, and they can't afford that with either Whitehurst or Hasselbeck under center.
- Seattle's defense has been good enough. That will only continue to be enough if either the offense or special teams makes a few plays.
- Seattle needs to do something to get some separation for their receivers. Whitehurst isn't known for his accuracy and asking him to keep hitting tight windows is asking for trouble.
- St. Louis needs to get back to the basics in the run game, they only struggle when they try to get cute. I'm surprised Bradford hasn't tried anything over the top yet, with his rep Seattle should be sitting on everything short.
- Seattle's consolation prize should they lose? The 8th pick in the 2011 NFL draft. They'll pick 21st at best if they win and make the playoffs.
