Prediction Series: NFC Championship San Fransico 49ers @ Seattle Seahawks

Saya mereblog tulisan ini dari blog berbahasa inggris saya, karena saya sedang sibuk.
Wilson is good no doubt about it, He, Collin Kaepernick and to some extent Andrew Luck are the examples of Quarterbacks who can make plays with their legs and still  able to throw accurate passes. However Wilson has not yet achieved the level in which he can read the defense and make an in-game  adjustments
What make Peyton  Manning an awesome quarterback is his ability to read defense. Here is Mark Sanchez from the postgame interview after Indianapolis Colts defeated  New York Jets in AFC Championship game 2010
In one pre-snap read, Manning identified a blitz from the middle safety and called an audible that adjusted their protection scheme. A middle-safety blitz? That's like picking out a needle in a haystack.

In  Seahawks 34-7 win against Arizona Cardinals on week 7,  there are plays in which Cardinals used  a quick player to  blitz through the middle of Seahawks' offensive line. One of the result is  Marshawn Lynch got sacked immediately after he got the ball.  Wilson failed to make any adjustment.

Wilson is a studious QB, if he stays diligent he will no doubt incorporate an ability to read defense and make adjustment to his game.

One more thing, all the talk about Seahawks's home field advantage reminds me of Denver Nuggets's home court advantage in NBA. Being in a very high altitude make it difficult for visitors to get a win in Denver. However came the playoff the  advantage disappear because opponents prepared themselves better and acclimate themselves to play in high altitude.

That said Seahawks defense  and Marshawn Lynch are very good. Unlike altitude, the noise in  CenturyLink is not sometihing that opponent can just easily adjust themselves to. But cardinals has proven that Seahawks is not indestructible there.
