The Seahawks were sailing along back in September winning their first three games, two coming on the road. Then, following their bye, they met the Rams at home and built up what looked to be a safe 27-10 lead with six minutes left. The Rams, though, came storming back scoring 23 unanswered points to win in overtime, 33-27. Its taken the Seahawks a couple of weeks to recover mentally from that stunning defense and to get healthy physically, but they?re in better shape and ready to take their revenge. Chad Brown and Anthony Simmons, their two best linebackers, played together for the first time last week after being hurt and the injuries at wide receiver are healing. The key for the Seahawks is featuring Shaun Alexander, one of the top six runners in the NFL, instead of relying on an inconsistent passing attack. The Rams still are flashy on offense, but they're not nearly as dominant as they were three years ago. Their defense has slipped, too. In addition to giving up 27 points to the Seahawks, the Rams have allowed 34 to the Falcons, 28 to the Saints, 40 to the Patriots and a staggering 31 to the offensively-inept Dolphins. Its obvious the Rams miss departed defensive coordinator Lovie Smith, now head coach of the Bears. At the halfway point of the season, only four teams ranked worse in defense than the Rams. Power backs with the ability to bounce big plays to the outside like Alexander can rip up the Rams. The Seahawks have upgraded their overall talent, improved their defense and shouldnt lack for motivation with a strong revenge angle. The Rams are in transition. They are still dangerous, but are on the way down with a weak defense and star tailback Marshall Faulk showing slippage.
