TedLavie Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Sorry I voted for the wrong team and meant to vote Hawaii. This was a close one, closer than I imagined. I think Singapore DL smothers Hawaii OL (not a knock on Hawaii OL, more a praise of Sing Sing DL), which will limit Saquon and Russ ability to find open receivers on plays he extended with his legs. So to me this game relied on Hawaii ability to get the quick passing game going and Singapore ability to move the ball on offense. For the former, I love AB in single coverage and how he's used this week. I think it provides a safe option for Russ more often than not. Don't love Gordon just a couple of days after being traded, I'd have prefered Garcon starting here for the time being. But he can catch a couple of slants and move the chains on occasion. For the latter, while I like the additional protection for Carr in Higbee, Hawaii counters it well with a LB blitz which is gonna leave an additional 1vs1 matchup for them. And I like those matchups for Hawaii. At this point, Hunt is becoming OL proof given what he's doing behind the interior OL of KC in its current state, but Hawaii is obviously prepared and loaded up the box, so they limit Hunt/Conner duo. Hawaii prevails in a defensive battle, 16-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Hawaii corrected the issues with starting injured players, they have been on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jlash Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 The Sing Sing pass rush is back to being as nasty as it ever has been, but Russ is one of the few QB's with the escapability to still be able to make plays, with plenty of weapons around him to do so. Hawaii, barely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DingoLadd Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Gimme the Singapore pass rush, this is a much closer one than I would've thought going in but AB and Russel Wilson's mobility do allow to keep Hawaii close in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuskieTitan Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I like Hawaii in this matchup. Singapore gets sunk by Carr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 The Hawaii baby makers get this one. Just barely. Love Sing Sings dline but Moore is inconsistent and I don’t think Hunt and Allen are enough. Wilson and Co get the W with more firepower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Hawaii shuts down Carrs passing game with smothering CBs. Running game gets some movement, but not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmad Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Hawaii, Singapore puts up a good fight but their WRs hold them back against Hawaii's CBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
