    M. Lynch worthy of the ring of honor ?

    Absolutely yes. His running style and attitude set the tone for the era’s offense AND defense. Massive impact on the trajectory of the organization. Huge signature moments. But one of the things I’ll remember most - and I commented on this often at the time - was how incredible some of his 4yd...

    I really hope we retain Jamal Adams....

    Performance wise, skill wise, the guy is a game changer. But having watched his style of play close up now, I really wonder how healthy he can stay. He’s so explosive and powerful, his collisions are so violent. It’s rare to find someone with that combination of skills. But it’s EXTREMELY rare...

    So..how do we progress?

    Recommit to run game; strengthen O line with guys who run block well; resign Carson; different OC or at least different passing scheme that focuses more on getting rid of ball faster and being happy with 7yd pass plays; moving away from hero ball deep, slow developing routes that force Russ to...

    The Official Trade Russell Wilson Thread.

    Don’t trade Russ - but do recommit to the run game. That means better O line. He’d be fine if we weren’t so predictable. But if we’re going to go another season without a 100yd rusher in a single game, and consistently bypass 7yd pass opportunities to hold the ball too long waiting for deep...

    No 100yd Rusher in 2020?

    I’m no stat expert, but I don’t think we had a game this year with a RB over 100 yds in a game. I’d love to see a re-commitment to the run game. That means accepting 3yd carries and not giving up on it. Why is 3rd and 3 an automatic passing down - especially when we are struggling to pass with...

    Dear Defense: It’s OK to get beat deep sometimes....

    First off, awesome to see a huge defensive stop preserve the W. However, this concept of soft zone and allowing 7 to 12 yds over and over, with 11 to 15 play drives - game after game - is gonna bite us. Press with our DBs. Keep your zone even if you want - but tighten it up and be more...

    Defense may be turning the corner!

    I’m convinced a lot of this is scheme and not personnel. You can’t combine a blitz with DBs 5 to 7 yds off WRs. It defeats the purpose of the blitz - which isn’t always to get a sack, but to force the QB into a quick throwing decision. So much cushion when we blitz just gives the QB an out, and...

    Bye bye MVP

    The MVP hasn't been on a Super Bowl winner since 1999. In the 80s thru the 90s, there were 8 MVP's who also won the Lombardi in the same season - so a little under half the time, the MVP's team would win the big one in that stretch. But in the last 20yrs, it hasn't happened once. That's such...

    Has Anyone Heard Approach to Bye During COVID?

    I figured if anyone would know it might be someone from the forum - In all the interviews, press conferences, etc., has anyone heard any coach or player mention the organization’s approach to the bye week this year? I’m just curious if the guys are authorized to head out of town for the week as...

    The “4pt Lead at Half” Streak Lives On...

    I believe we’re now at 57-0 under Pete when leading by 4 or more at half. I know that stat has been discussed before, but that’s a staggering figure. I could be off on the exact number, but it’s close to that.

    Passes to the running backs

    All about pass protection. Typically if you think pass pro, you think downfield passing. But pass pro allows the downfield routes to develop and clears chunks of space for swing passes - by design as the primary or as a check down. Also a huge weapon when you don’t have to keep your RB in the...

    "The Boz" to raise the 12 flag Sunday?

    Per Seahawks Twitter account. Isn’t it rare that they announce ahead of time who the flag raiser is? Not sure how I feel about him for such a big game. Obviously doesn’t really matter for the game, but how fondly is he remembered here actually?

    Pete Carroll needs to go

    Some of Pete's ongoing tendencies are annoying - playclock management, in-game decision making at times, decisions about coaching staff, inability to put teams away etc. At times, they lead to negative plays, and on certain occasions, losses. However, his overall program mentality, positivity...

    Why didn't Myers kick the fg?

    For a moment, let's set aside Pete's poor decision to not go for it on 4th and 1 from the 33. Our kicker determined on his own to not go through with a 50yd kick? I was at the game - the flags on the goalposts were not waiving wildly or anything at that moment. I thought it was odd the kicker...

    How much longer is the world gonna pretend Wilson is elite?

    This is so obviously not all on Russ. What's frustrating to watch is him receive the snap and immediately have to dodge pass rushers, week in, week out, year after year. Yes, he gets happy feet at times when the pocket is actually holding. But it holds so rarely, who can blame him? He's been...

    Cutting It Close with the Playclock

    This team is incredibly exciting / nerve racking to watch. Everything goes down to the wire. It seems that even the simplest of actions - snapping the flipping ball - comes with the "will they or won't they make it" anticipation. There we so, so many plays yesterday that were snapped at zero...

    Jason Myers is awful

    This is an unpopular opinion whenever I mention it, and I'm sure folks can give a bunch of reasons why it's a bad idea, but....I wouldn't freak out if we used a decent draft pick if a stud kicker is available. Especially in this era where it seems good, consistent guys are getting more scarce...

    Not giving the oline a pass

    The real pass protection challenge for any O line is can you protect in obvious passing situations? Even harder, can you protect in obvious passing situations against a good pass rush? This has been an issue for quite a while with this group (not just this year). We are effective when we keep...
