Pretty much in agreement. Generally though, the 2nd half didn't feel like vintage Seahawks Football. In 2012, we'd either be close or behind at half, then roar back and make an epic comeback in the 2nd half. We became known as a 2nd half football team.
This game, weere solidly in control. The Broncos had 102 total yards at halftime and 3 points. We were up by 2 TDs, yet only scored 3 points in the last 2 quarters and had to pull it out in OT.
I completely agree with Kearly about that final drive. I've bitched about the offense a bit, but I'm not complaining about the defense. THat last drive, the went right to Welker in a variety of inside rub routes and took advantage of our coverage and Burley being a bit off after Kam tried to steal his soul with that inadvertant hit. It was different from what they'd done so far in the game, and brilliant play calling.
Kind of like what we did in OT. We were content to pound Lynch up the middle all 2nd half, then come out in OT and had a QB keeper, short crossing routes and outs to Harvin, and generally just picked the Broncos apart. We didn't have that in the 3rd and 4th quarter ?
I knew we would be in trouble after the Chancellor INT, when we just ran it and played for the FG. I know that's how the coaching book says how to do it, but I felt that if Pete went for a TD after that, it was game over, but if we kicked a FG, Manning might have somethign to get that one score.
As for the offensive holding (both ways) I've said this is several different threads, but I really feel that the NFL is de-emphisizing offensive holding on the OL. I've seen way more than normal not get called this year.
I felt like Burley had a good game overall. Welker makes a lot of guys look dumb, and he held his own until the last drive, and with those different route concepts, it might not even have been his responsibility.
