This weeks Fire Bevell Thread

[tom sawyer]

sure, i even blame him for the defense sucking wind today,

 

[RolandDeschain]

No hate for Quinn?

You know what? At least he adjusted. Second half, lined Sherman up on Dez.

Adjustments. What a concept. That being said, I'd love to hear from Quinn why we have basically given up on bump & run coverage.

 

[NJSeahawk]

I say we fire bevell!

 

[Tical21]

There is a major problem with our passing game, especially against the blitz. Is it the calls, is it the receivers failing to get open, or is it that Russell refuses to throw the damn ball? Gonna need the all-22. I'm not going to throw it at Bevell's feet until examined more closely. If he is calling smart plays and we can't execute, so he has to get cute with the screen game to compensate, then it is totally not his fault. If he isn't calling plays that are designed to get guys open against the coverage he is anticipating, it lands on his feet. What I don't want to see is him getting strung up without evidence. That just isn't fair, as inevitable as it is around here.

Harvin isn't a RB!!! Use him down the field.

 

[TorontoHawk]

He sucks. Pete sucks, quinn sucks.... They all sucked.

Yes this was a entire team meltdown today, could not run, pass, catch, tackle. Special Teams is the only reason we were in the game at all.

Really? You don't think we should run stickman Harvin up the gut more?

Seriously, that was ridiculous. It reminded me of a time when Norv Turner tried to pound the ball up the middle against the Ravens (at their peak with Ray Lewis) with Darren Sproles.

The good thing is maybe other teams won't look at Harvin as such a threat after this game. Opening things up for him again.

I wonder about this also. As for Bevell? Yeah a major change is
needed. But I'm not convinced it's all his fault from what I'm seeing this is an issue with the OL, receivers and Wilson. The OL is giving him no time so regardless of the receivers Bevell can't attempt whole types of plays because of it and the receivers being subpar. It's a viscous circle.

Sometimes the HC needs to step in and change something. Pete has done it before, when we were starting to go to hurry up playcalling with TJ, and in a loss toe Cowboys (irony of ironies) he went back to ground and pound. It changed the attitude of the entire team for the rest of the year.

It isn't about firing an OC. Hell, the team that just physically kicked Seattle's ass has an OC known for NOT wanting to run the ball, but run the ball is exactly what he is doing.

I too find inspiration in Linehan. It's the only thing that keeps me going, truly.

What's cool is when the Hawks needed a TD to win today, you know late in the 4th, the whole world expected rollouts. Why rollouts? Because that's where our QB excels. But today we didn't do that...and that'll really confuse our next opponents. Brilliant.

XOXO

Empty Set Offense Fanatic

 

[Scottemojo]

I think Pete needs to just stop Bevell from watching WSU games.

 

[travlinhawk]

It seemed like we got beat by a team that resembled us from last year. I swear it was like looking back a year. Romo was doing his best Houdini just before launching a few bombs (Russ last year) Murry was a BEAST (you know) and their D was stingy and aggressive. Just felt weird tonight with all the trick plays too.

 

[Largent80]

It was painfully obvious at halftime that the cutesy crap Bevell has been dialing up had reached it's zenith, but he failed to get back to what we do, run the ball with the Beast.

 

[Sports Hernia]

No hate for Quinn?

Quinn had a piss poor game as well today.

 

[seahawk 17]

I have stayed out of the Bevell threads for about a year, but this makes me want to puke. Harvin is the fastest guy in the NFL, and he hasn't ran a WR route in weeks. Everybody knows RW is throwing a screen or it's a fly sweep. We had three 1st downs in the 1st half?


Bevell reminds me of Dave Kreig. When he is hot, he is unbeatable. When he is cold, you wonder how the guy has a job.

 

[hawksfansinceday1]

He sucks. Pete sucks, quinn sucks.... They all sucked.

Yep, outcoached by Jason freaking Garrett.

 

[rideaducati]

I don't think we had a play go to Harvin past the line of scrimmage. Couple that with Marshawn getting two carries in the first half and you have legitimate reason to criticize Bevell and his desire to only run cute college plays against a below average defense. This was by far the worst called game of his tenure as a Seahawk.

How many empty set shotgun plays did we run today? The defense can 100% commit to defending the pass.

Harvin had a 7 yard completion that gave him one yard total for the day. All his other runs and receptions were for negative yardage.

If Bevell had a hot Dave Kreig, he'd call for a run on every play.

 

[THE TABS]

We're on to St. Louis.

 

[bevellisthedevil]

we teach kids 9 and 10 years old that they can't get 1st downs running east and west yet our OC thrives on continuing to run jet sweeps, swing passes, and bubble screens. It is pretty simple really. The defense cheats up when they don't expect to see anything other than short gimmicky plays.

Moreover, when your porous, continuously shitty, penalty prone, offensive line can't give Wilson any time to throw the defense can also cheat up.

Lastly, when we have the best running back in the NFL for yards after contact and our pop warner, techmo bowl, idiot OC refuses to use him, we should expect to lose. We deserve to lose.
