Effort

[Largent80]

So you didn't watch our o-line in the first quarter?

Talk about effort = zero. Every single player on that line and especially center and RG can go away as soon as possible.

That begs the effort vs ability argument, but- yeah.

Yep that's right. They just didn't try in the first half. Oh and they don't have heart either.

I can't believe you guys even like a heartless no trying team like the Seahawks.

On offense just look at the play calling, 1st half long routes all of them, 2nd half a mix. Simple the first half of the game they called the offense like the first half of the season, 2nd half of the game like the second half of the season. 1st half wilson is hit on 77% of his drop backs, 2nd half under 30%

Nothing wrong with the routes. Offensive line breakdowns again and Russ overthrowing wide open receivers by 10 yards. Couldn't get a run game started again and Pete loves the run game

Actually there were several short passes in the first half.2 were intercepted.

That's a product of Pete's "you can only win in the fourth quarter" garbage. These guys showed zero heart in the first half and this was the result

Yeah, it's the kind of shitty "Garbage" that he's only gotten us one Super Bowl Win, a second one that came down to the wire and gotten the Seahawks into several Post Season games won eh? :roll:

IMO they got shell shocked right off the bat with that 60 yd run....the Lynch loss was also huge...then the RW pick. The field also looked worse for the Hawks in the first half opposed to the 2nd. Playing a full 4 quarters seemed to be the Hawks issue this year, lately its been the first half. I predicted the Hawks to win but we had to play a full 4 to win...still damn near pulled it in one half...one or 2 more play series was required.

 

[scutterhawk]

It wasn't a heart issue they just played terrible. The offensive line got absolutely destroyed in the first half. They were bad in the second half but bevell finally let Wilson take over.

You could have stopped with your second sentence, as it pretty much described why the Offense couldn't establish any kind of timing.
Lot's of ranting about the Offensive woes that included two interceptions in the first half, but not all that much about the 17 other points that were allowed by our Defense in that first half.

 

[scutterhawk]

We've seen it too many times. The difference is lady luck bailed us out in the NFCCG last year.

Yeah, it was all "Luck", and had nothing to do with the fight in the dawgs and some spectacular play for two Years in a row.

Call it an excuse, but I'm 100% sure 10 am stays are a difference maker. It wasnt a matter if effort, it was a matter of execution.

I 100% Agree, and the alarming statistics backs your theory up.
It's just a lot easier to dismiss the 10 A.M. East Coast gigs, the numbers, on the other hand, are quite an eye opener.
