I would have felt ok about the loss if we hadn't lost the Cowboys and Rams games. I had expected this would be a loss at KC, but it wouldn't have affected playoff implications.
Unfortunately....

Sorry not everyone lives with "white people guilt" . I just love how people try to control speech by saying your offended.

Spot on. Felt the same way. Both teams fought hard, the 'Hawks just didn't make some clutch plays, but all in all they played their hearts out and that's really all we can ask from our guys.

I wondered how our run defense would fare without Mebane and Wagner in the middle and we have our answer. Can't help but feel like SF is going to cram Gore and Hyde down our throat in a couple of weeks and there'll be nobody there to stop them.

Smash mouth, old school, 80's football. Yeah we lost. But we didn't embarrass ourselves. For the most part, we played well in a very tough place to play at 10am. Russell ran out of 4th quarter magic but he played exceptional overall.
The defense I have a bone or three to pick, but they created turnovers and kept them out of the endzone in the second half. Injuries have derailed our season to a point. 6-4? Not great, but we could be 4-6 so I'll take it.
Maybe I am getting sensitive in my old age but that tomahawk chop crap by thousands of white people drive me nuts. Even if they don't mean it consciously, it's a racist act, IMO. I could live without it, that's for sure. That's okay if you disagree, It's not like I am worked up about it, but, well, meh.
We fought well...BEAST!!! Sucks to lose Unger, again. Man.
This isn't a loss of yesteryear where we lament on and on about how sucky we are. We are still a very, very good football team that happens to be showing our warts from injuries and lack of depth.
Chins up 12's!!
NEXT WEEK WE BEAT THE CARDINALS!
Must win from a wild card perspective. Our chance at the division are slim and none IMO.hawkfan68":3bn1dar5 said:Aros":3bn1dar5 said:What a great game.

Next week is a must win game. The Cards have a 3 game lead on the divison now.

Clearly the loss of Mebane hurt BAD. We should expect to lose against SF in SF, and I doubt we beat the Eagles - which makes the SF game in Seattle almost besides the point.
We have a brutal stretch coming up and we haven't beaten a single good team on the road all year. Which according to the #s means a loss in SF, in Philly, and in AZ. That by itself would put us out of the running.
It is still an entertaining team and it is fighting and scratching in spite of the injuries, but I think the losses this year pretty much clearly nailed down we weren't going to do anything this year.
Maybe get Kam his surgery and try again next year. I would have taken him out for it long ago, it was clear this team was done the moment he needed it.

The list goes on and on.

Up and down, back and forth, and we are hanging with the best teams now with all the injuries.
I LOVE my Hawks win or lose.
Tokadub":1gxcl230 said:It was a good competitive game for a neutral observer... but as a Seahawks fan I don't see how you could feel good about this loss.
- Our Defense was terrible and got exposed AGAIN (it's already happened so many times this season).
- We gave up 6.2 yards per rush.
- We gave up 8 yards per rush by Jamaal Charles.
- We had 0 sacks! Pass rush is non-existent and our cash cow Bennett continues to rack up penalties and face plant on a regular basis.
- Bevell proved how horrible he really is, that was the final straw for me... so many bad calls that made no sense whatsoever. Funny how so many people support Bevell because we won a Superbowl even though the signs of his incompetence have been glaringly obvious since 2012 (One example being the loss to Falcons in the playoffs while scoring 0 points in first half).
- Kearse continues to drop passes which I told everyone in multiple posts this off-season that he has bad hands.... Kearse currently is only catching about 50% of his targets (22 out of 38 on ESPN not sure if they include today's game yet...)
- Our Passing game is atrocious, it seems like out of all the teams in THE ENTIRE NFL we have the most difficulty of having open receivers on a regular basis. Our Offensive Line is also horrible.
CONCLUSION:
Although it was an entertaining game for a neutral observer, if you are a true Seahawks fan I can't see how you can be happy with this outcome. I guess a lot of people just aren't realistic about the very serious problems in real life or in this case sports, I can't just blow it off as no big deal I know how bad this was... I'm not one to just feel happy about crappy and horrible outcomes to make myself feel better artificially.
Facts are, we are most likely out of the playoffs now, the 49ers have a much easier remaining schedule than we do so they among many other teams could easily steal the Wild Card from us. I no longer have any hopes we can win the NFC West that would take a miracle...
This is honestly a complete and total meltdown from last season when we were hands down the most talented roster in the entire league with a legendary Defense. Now although we still have above average talent we are playing like a sub .500 team. I put a lot of the blame on the coaches for their off-season moves, the draft, and their inability to coach effectively. It really seems like we are out-coached by a significant margin almost every single game. I never thought that would be the case for our whole team... but as for the Offense with Bevell this is no surprise.
