Here are the early stats prior to this preseason game that I like:
Total First Downs:
Seattle 44, and their opponents have only 27
Denver 42, and their opponents have had 41
Rushing Yards:
Seattle 283, and their opponents have only 193
Denver 220, and opponents have 229
Passing Yards:
Seattle 361, and their opponents have 352 (doesn't feel like it)
Denver 502, and their opponents have 430 (really)
Time of Possession:
Seattle averages 34:36, and their opponents only 25:24
Denver averages 29:16, and their opponents a meager 30:44
Third Down Conversions:
Seattle 20 of 40, and their opponents only 10 of 25
Denver 11 of 24, and their opponents only 9 of 25
Turnover Ratio:
Seattle is +1
Denver is +1
QB Rating:
Seattle CBJ=93.1, TJ=45, JP=72
Denver K. Orten=110.0, B.Quinn=95.1, T.Tebow=113.4
Looks to me like the Hawks have the better running game & running defense, while the Broncs have the better passing game and passing defense. This game could come down to whoever wins the special teams aspect, as both teams expect to start first stringers into the third quarter.
I say third and long is the most crucial thing to look at during this game. Can our team stop the third and forevers on defense, and can they avoid them on offense? What do you think?
