Did we really play better?
Did Dallas stink it up?

Dallas stunk it up because the Hawks played great defense..Hockey Guy":3fwduj0y said:We played better. Offense still needs work.
Dallas kinda stunk.
We committed to the running game & it consequently helped the Oline in pass protection.

--Dallas had some super dumb mistakes, which made things much easier for the Seahawks.
--Zeke stepped out of bounds not realizing where he was on the field. Cost DAL 4 points.
--Kris Richard had his patented blown coverage special. (Sherm would've melted down on the sidelines.)
Giving up a cheap 50 yd TD. Cost DAL 7 points.
--Gregory had an inexcuble late in the half (under 10 sec) personal foul that, put Seattle in FG range. Cost DAL 3 Points.
--14 point swing of stupidity.
Good teams won't be as helpful.
Yet and still it was a game that the Seahawks could build off of. They played the right way today.

The one thing not given much specific attention is that the Hawks' pass rush consistently got pressure on Dak and sacked him numerous times. That was a pleasant surprise.
Having Bobby Wagner back was fantastic and made our D so much better. Mychal Kendricks was excellent overall, I thought, and fits in great in our D. Even Barkevious Mingo had a superb sack on a mobile Prescott.
Michael Dickson as usual gave us a consistent field position edge with his punting.
It just felt like incremental progress across the board, young players learning and stepping up. Guys like Trey Flowers. And how about Joey Hunt at Center??!! Britt was out and Hunt plugged right in.
I thought Schotty called a better game and he and Russell were more on the same page. Like the TD to Jaron Brown, nice playcall, Russ read the safety, got the ball out quickly, TD.
Fade's analysis is thought-provoking, classifying 14 points as gifts from the Cowboys. I can't really disagree with much of it, other than classifying the Lockettt TD as 7 blown coverage "gift" points. Russell and Tyler took advantage of it. So I'd say Dallas truly gifted us 7 points, Elliott out of bounds 4 and 3 for stupid personal foul penalty, but I'll give credit to the 'Hawks for making the big play to take advantage of the blown coverage. I'll also give credit to Schotty for the playcall that caused and exposed the Dallas coverage. We still had to make the play, and we did. So I wouldn't count that 7 as a gift.
Overall, a very Pete Carroll type of game. Run the ball, play strong defense, win the turnover battle, and get some big explosive plays. The Lockett and Jauron Brown TD's I'd call explosive plays.
