unless Wilson was coming with his kick butt o -line and a dominating run game, and a smoothering defense it wouldn't have mattered. In 2012 His rookie year the seahawks defense gave up 17 or less 11 times counting playoffs. The Buffalo Bills defense in EJ Manuel's rookie season held opponents to 17 or less - well NONE. I'm not saying EJ was good - I'm saying when your defense gives up nothing or next to nothing your interception, fumbles, bad plays don't matter as much your margin for error is much bigger. You can play loser knowing our defense will win the game - and they did.
