2017-Week 1 immediate thoughts after game

1) The Seahawks are proving to the rest of the NFL that going cheap on pay for O Line men will not win games. Last year the sub par play by the o line led to numerous running backs getting hurt and the Russell Wilson suffering two serious. Each year we go forward with a K Mart Blue light special O Line, the more we are amazed at the talent of the 2013 O Line.

2) The defense played very well today. They kept Seattle in the game until the second half. Had they not been on the field over 75 percent of the time, and getting tired, they might have kept the Packers scoring 10 to 13 points. The Hawks constant pressure on Rogers led to sacks, flushing out of the pocket and missed throws by Aaron the almighty. But the many stupid penalties Seattle pulled hurt them at every turn and they need to be corrected and stopped.

3) Baldwin caught some difficult passes and Graham was mugged all day long.

4) Eddie Lacey ran like a 65 year old man trying to get to the refrigerator at half time. If he does not improve his game he will be cut by week 6. Carson looked good and why isn't Bevell calling for many screen plays to play to the strength of Procise.

As much as I love Graham, I've never understood using $10M in cap room on him when he isn't utilized enough and the OL is so bad. Use his money on the OL please. When Graham went down with the knee injury 2 seasons ago, the Seahawks offense went on an amazing (maybe historic) run which might say something.

It's only one game, but who would've thought a 31 year old Beast Mode who hasn't played in 2 seasons would look better than Lacy? Damn.

They'll get better.

It's no longer a question of going cheap when we are spending high draft picks and 8 mil on a guard. It's who is picking the groceries and preparing the meal.

Exactly! When we won the SB, we had the highest paid oline in the league, and turned that into the #22 in pass blocking. This team will die with Cable and Pete's son running the oline and "buying the groceries".
