Why do think the Seahawks are so hot right now?

Chawker · Oct 29, 2018

Has the volcano gods awoke to the roar of the 12s and tunded in, basking in there hot tub of melting cheese eating sausage by the fist full, washing it all down with a good ol northwest ale?.

It surly can't be that are team,players and coach aren't any good. So why is it?

P.S. Don't weary bout keepin it real.
Cheers

The reason seems obvious but might make for a good poll.

I have been posting about it for couple of weeks now and I am giving credit where credit's due: Earl Thomas III, the one with super natural power (said so on his Instagram) , his middle finger poked a pilot hole that release the volcanic power .... Think about it, this team ain't the same after the finger, right?

It's Earl's pilot hole, follow with Paul ..... Like all volcanoes, the initial release were toxic, then came the fire and fury.

We are heading to super bowl this season on volcanic prowess.

All the glory goes to Earl.

Coaching. Pete Carroll started letting his new coaches do their jobs after week 2. The players responded.IMO

Mad Dog · Oct 29, 2018

DJ Fluker returned to the lineup, got the run game going and the rest is history.

It all starts with the boys up front. That got solidified this season with a new coach and a couple key additions in Fluker and Sweezy.

And give Russell a little time in the pocket and just like Rodgers and Brady, he'll eat you alive. People have whined about his accuracy declining the last couple years and turns out all he needed was just a little more time to release cleanly. He's playing as good as he was in that late 2015 run.

They finally got the right mix of people on the OL. The team has bought in like 2012. Talent is obvious. This team was SO in need of a change on OC/DC. Cabevell is no more thank you Lord!

kidhawk · Oct 29, 2018

They finally committed to the run. I firmly believe, had we done so in week 1, we'd be staring down the barrel of a 6-1 record, but at least 5-2 right now.

I agree with you on the team bought in.Everybody going one direction following the new coaches. This is a tough physical team. they still need more talent but the new leaders are emerging.

The new play caller has played a big role. There is a sense of offensive flow that we haven’t had in a decade. There is a true commitment, connection, and understanding of the run game. Carson is very good and is being given the opportunity to show his stuff. Wilson is the most efficient he has been maybe ever.

Offensive line has improved greatly in pass protection under Solari.

Carroll and Norton have done a brilliant job with the defense.

So there are a lot of factors. But the coaching effort truly deserves some applause.

onanygivensunday · Oct 29, 2018

Solari and Schottenheimer deserve the lion's share of the credit. Solari has taught the o-line power-blocking and pulliing techniques and Schotty is calling the plays, mixing in multiple different ways of blocking for Carson and Davis.

The defense doesn't know exactly what is coming at them.

Grahamhawker · Oct 29, 2018

In a nutshell, the Lions bit so hard on play-action on Dickson's TD it wasn't even funny.

Agreed but 7-0. The rams should have lost, and I'm predicting we win out 13-3 yup. Not one of the remaining teams can stop our running game. Can't believe I'm saying that. If you want to get technical the rams are the toughest away game, and they don't even scare me anymore. Our run game is just as good or better than the rams and chiefs pass game and our defense is better and we are like what 5th against then pass. IF we do lose one it will be either to the chiefs or rams we are not losing both of them. The Seahawks team is white hot right now. They are very consistent.

DJ Fluker.

You know it's true!

evergreen · Oct 29, 2018

We got our mojo working baby! We are white hot. Just like later in 2012. I think the finger is somehow related. All the malcontents are gone. We’re still paying one but still this defense is just a bit more resembling the pre LOB. Our eyes are not lying just like they didn’t lie when we had all those super stars and didn’t have our mojo any more. We do now.

strohmin · Oct 29, 2018

The run game and defensive turnovers. This defense is playing better than what he had the last 2 years.

We definitely could have won that rams game but we did commit to the run that game which was my premise so that one was a loss in my mind either way

All the yardage in both pass and run are made possible by the improved OL. I want to hear a post game interview from 1 or 2 of the big boys on the line. Thats were the games have been won.

MD5eahawks · Oct 30, 2018

Because they didn't trade Russell Wilson or fire Pete Carroll.

This x 100.

Fluker was linchpin for jumpstarting the run game, allowing Sweezy to slide over into the LG position.......and finally giving the offense and team the identity it wanted to have.

Obviously this is simplifying a complex question. Pete and his coaches also deserve credit for developing and coaching up all these young players to become legit NFL starters and playmakers.

A combo of:

Weaker opposition.
Offensive line playing well and that flowing downhill to everyone else.
Defense playing well and creating turnovers.
Not given an opportunity to bork it at the margins because the games are getting out of hand for the opposition.

Why do think the Seahawks are so hot right now?
