Geno lost that game

[FlyingGunHawk]

Its pretty discouraging that the D held the Bengals to 3 points in the 2nd half and they still lost the game. They gotta hold their heads high though they balled out.

 

[HawkRiderFan]

I'm not saying Geno's no good or season's done or anything drastic like that but a lot of this one's on his decision making. Seemed was totally locked on one read red zone. That penalty on Walker before the first pick was a killer. But that was a terrible decision to throw to JSN. He had Walker wide open in the flat. It was only 2nd down.

Hopefully he learns from it.

 

[HawkinNY]

This is a HUGE 3-2 hole now...

If Geno doesn't improve, kiss this season goodbye...

Once we play SF, Dal,SF and Eagles if we are at .500 most likely we will be 4 under after that stretch. Geno plays like this every big game or spot.

 

[Film12Hawk]

Yep. Holding the ball, not seeing wide open receivers on too many plays, and running away from protection and into sacks.

O-line wasn't great today but Geno made.them look a lot worse than they actually were.

Reminded me of a former QB.

I don't disagree at all.

My Tiers for QBs are:

Elite - Example: Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow
Great - Example: Kirk Cousins and Justin Herbert
Very, Very Good - Example: Geno Smith and Derek Carr
Poor - Example: Desmond Ridder and Kenny Pickett

Mahomes and Burrow have been anything but elite this year.

Even Mahomes hasn’t been great.

Have you seen Kansas City the past couple of weeks? They are not the same offensive powerhouse they once were. Mahomes has not been elite this year.

They've earned a slow start to the year.

We lost because pete didn't take the 3 pts right before the 2 min warning. He forgets who his qb is

That is exactly what I thought when I saw them going for the TD on 4th down. Take the 3, get a shot at another 3. Defense had been very good the 2nd half.

Also, Gino was under pressure all day. Not sure why they did not try more runs in the red zone. Surely there are some good running plays in their book that are not "shove it down their throat", a bit of misdirection to confuse the defense.

All game long I was thinking the offensive struggles were on the play calling not adapting to the defense. Sound familiar??

SF also lost, so we did not loose anything in the conference, but it sure would have been nice to be tied with them !!

We lost to the Bengals. It isn't like we lost to a good team. The Bengals are mediocre as it comes.

You lose to a team like that, it's on more than just the QB. It's like losing to the Browns...not good.

Oh the niners. Silly how they seem to be a mere product of their personnel configuration. Er….huh

Burrow didn't look very "elite" today either.

 

[renofox]

Geno directed 11 drives.

On those 11 drives, the Seahawks scored 1 TD and 2 FGs (including a 55 yarder, thanks Myers).

Not a good day.

 

[Film12Hawk]

Burrow didn't look very "elite" today either.

He has an injury to his calf. He's also lead the Bengals consistently to the playoffs and won in them. He also has lead them to a Super Bowl. They hadn't won in the playoffs since the 80's before he got there. Personally he also lead the league in completions one year. He's earned the right to an off start. Elite QBs can have slow starts to a season or years. Look at Tom Brady in 2013 before 2014.

 

[WarHawks]

Time to stop wasting time and flogging a dead horse and time to start drafting qb's. They should have drafted one higher last year, but water under the bridge, Yada yada..

I don't think the Bengals are a bad team. They have one of the best QBs in the league and they've been in the playoffs
Lately. Seattle definitely should have won this game.

I am not a Geno fan, never have been, he is doing ok but we need to find a long term solution.

They are a superbowl level team...wtf are you smoking?????

 

[PeruHawk]

Geno is very, very good but he held onto the ball too long, took unnecessary sacks, threw two costly picks, and didn't get us a score once in three trips to the end zone. I just don't see a long term answer in him against elite teams. I'd like to be wrong but I just don't see it in him to be the guy.

Perhaps that was because there were no open receivers? Just a thought. Give the Bengals secondary some credit. They played a good game.

 

[vladimirg98053]

Horrible throws, 2 INTs, taking sacks.

You got it right my friend - Geno is not reliable QB.

You are absolutelly correct - Geno is not reliable QB we can count on.

What rock did you just climb out from under? Cincy went to the SB 2 yrs ago, and AFC Championship last season. Not sure how u define mediocre? This loss is directly on Geno, and some poor play calling, and use of personnel. WIth Geno's limitations u have to use the PA, lean on our run game.

.. There was and plenty of them
