Analysis

Most signs point toward Seattle winning, perhaps by a considerable margin. But there are nagging concerns. Receivers Brian Blades (knee) and Ronnie Harris (hamstring) are banged up. When Joey Galloway and Blades were slowed by injuries against the Jets, Seattle struggled to move the ball. The good news is that Seattle’s healthiest receivers are its best - Galloway and Mike Pritchard. Left tackle Walter Jones (ankle) missed practice Friday and may not be able to play. The position will be critical against San Diego end Marco Coleman. Seattle’s defense will be relied on to spur a narrow victory.
