OH GOOD GOD! It must be quite embarassing to be a Seahawks fan. This question is for Seattle fans only. How does it feel to be shown how the game of football is supposed to be played? Hopefully, your team will choose to study their disasterous loss from the Pittsburgh Steelers. It would be a shame to know that the only thing the Seahaks gained from the ass raping the Steelers handed to them was nothing but a bloody ass and bruised sense of pride 😛 GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew this post was going to be sitting here when I got to the computer this morning. *shakes head and repeats that this doesn't reflect all of SN*
Anyhoo, most of us saw the game, so, to quote every coach in the business, "it was what it was." A few notes, however.
1) Just question why Arians isn't letting Ben audible out running plays when the other team is putting 8 in the box (twice the Seahawks had 9 freakin' guys in the box and here we go, Parker up the middle for a 1-yard loss.)
2) With its 2 best starters out, Steeler's depth in defense is stellar. With its 2 starters out, Steleers depth at WR still subpar but Cedrick Wilson really stepped up yesterday.
3) Looked a bit like Hasselbeck looked nervous right out of the gate. When Miller caught the TD, I was thinking, "OK, the TD is nice, but with 2 minutes left in the 1st half, it's going to let Hasselbeck get into a groove." It did a little, even with the Ike INT, but they only ran 3 snaps in the second half until about 10 minutes left in the game.
4) Buildling off of #3, long drives are momentum killers, and the #1 argument against running a run-and-shoot and hurry-up offense as your game plan. Defenses rest and mistakes are kept to a minimum.
5) Ben played maybe his best game in 1-1/2 years. I don't need 80-yard bombs from the guy. I need third and longs converted.
6) What was with the Screen Porch shading? I was half-expecting Cleopatra-style feather fans. Holmgren needed some sunscreen, and just think if it was an away game at Miami ior Jacksonville in week 1 or 2!!!!
7) Good luck to the Seahawks and beat up on the Browns and Ratbirds for us, like you did the Bengals.
