If you want to be a championship team, you can't be giving up 25-30 points per game. It's happened in all our losses this year and it points directly to a flawed defense. In my opinion, special teams is a direct offshoot of defense, so they go hand in hand. Three ST blunders today and in general, another bad defensive outing on third down. Very surprising, since defense first has always been Pete's philosophy. I'm very curious as to how the Pete Carroll the supposed defensive guru is going to fix this major issue.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't miss Percy Harvin one bit. I have NO DOUBT that RW and our offense would have scored if we had gotten the ball back at the end of the game. Same bad holding calls IMO on the O-line but for the most part I thought they played admirably considering we were playing with back ups at C, TE, and FB.
As for the defense, once again NO sacks, little production from Avril or Bennett, no hits on any of our blitzes, missed tackles by our LB's, and horrible play by Burley. That guy is a major liability by the way. Simon looks more the part but some really stupid penalties on him considering it was his debut. You'd think he'd play smarter.
SIGH (and frustrated)
