Someone gets injured and you don't see a glaring hole (barring the Earl Thomas injury last year where the backup was god awful). Seattle knows how to win games. Their 4th quarter stats are out of this world good and they've come from behind from huge deficits to win. They play to the last second, don't give up so if you can beat them it's down to pure talent and 'want'. 

To be honest, I think you guys already are the top defense, Seattle is good, no doubt. Bobby Wagner and Earl Thomas are All World talents, it's really like having 13 players on the field.

You guys remind me of the 2013 defense, that puts an instant smile on my face! I'm excited to watch them and see what they can do on Sunday.

 In recent years there has been a lot of talk in the national media about the LOB no longer being elite. Former Jaguars CB and Seahawks scout Bucky Brooks wrote in his Scout's Notebook one week Richard Sherman is getting slower and even losing his balance on some plays when everyone was going nuts over the GM's trade comments. Were you seeing that too before he got hurt?

Reading all this stuff about how we (Jaguars) have the NFL's best secondary, with former Steelers CB Ike Taylor rankng Jalen Ramnsey/AJ. Bouye as the top CB duo anywhere almost every week. Even last season, the signs were there that we (the Jaguars) would soon have to judge our secondary on the Legion of Boom and No Fly Zone level. My mind went back to when Richard Sherman had a fued with Darrelle Revis about who is the best shutdown corner before they met in Super Bowl 49. If this game was played earlier in the season we could see that battle play out.

Pretty sure he fell off a cliff statistically 2 years ago.  He’s done.  Just collecting a paycheck at this point.  I would have thought all Packer (and Seahawk) fans already knew that though.

Packers and Seahawks fans know their coaches disagree on Eddie Lacy's ideal playing weight. and his contract includes incentives for lowering the numbers on the scale.
