Pete Ball

10 receptions spread out to the tight ends and Fant had his best game as a Seahawk.

Loved it! Geno showed us last season in his 3 games what it looks like to use TEs effectively.

I'm in awe of our TE room and the emergence of Colby Parkinson has been a delightful surprise! Love how the coaches are using and rotating our 3 amazing TEs.
We already knew Dissly is a great blocker who is timely and reliable in the passing game, and we mostly knew what we were getting in Noah Fant. Then Parkinson emerged! Notice that Parkinson has been conspicuous in throwing key blocks on big plays... IIRC, on Fant's big play today, and on K9's toss sweep 70-something yard TD, I think vs Chargers, the one with a pic of a female Chargers fan flipping Walker off with both hands. Pretty sure there are several more; those are just the ones that come quickly to mind.

34 pass attempts, 34 rush attempts. Yes, this IS Pete ball.

Two rushing TDs, two passing TDs.

And a nine-minute advantage in time of possession.

There's something so pleasing about this, beyond the result, which was another Seahawks win.

This is what flailing wildly at a sinking narrative looks like

But you have to admire the dedication to the bit

Whether it's Pete letting Waldron have the freedom to cal what he want or Pete trusting Geno, how about plays like the big one to Fans where it's not just being conservative with the 3 point lead late?
The play-calling overall was great today.

That was a conservative play call. Short pass into the flat to a wide open receiver. It just went for 50 yards because AZ sold out for the run. But in no way should it be considered the equivalent of throwing into the teeth of the defense.

The game plan was mostly conservative at the end. It’s just that the AZ defense was tired and we executed so well that these short gainers turned into long gainers and kept the chains moving. But other than that 3rd and 12 pass to Locket in the seam, we weren’t taking shots. Just executing.

That wasn't Pete Ball. Geno threw it 20 times in the first half. (Came out aggressive wanting to throw some more at the start off the 2nd half. (Geno took sacks and threw a pick.) Running the 4 min off at the end of the game with the lead is what every team does.

Pete Carroll has never finished outside of the top 5 in neutral situation pass frequency in years where Russell Wilson wasn't his starting quarterback

I was comparing to running the ball on first and 2nd down to either move the clock or force the Cards to take timeouts and then maybe throw on third down. Yes it was a safe pass play but even that is a change from how this team operated in the past in that circumstance.

What are you babbling about?

The game has passed Pete by.
What's that? You need proof?

Get ready to have your world turned upside down.

The last 4 times we had the football we ran 20 run plays & only 12 passes. Yes you read that right, 20 runs & 12 passes. Cold hard numbers don't lie.

Everybody knows in todays NFL you can't win consistently running the ball 62.5% of the time. You have to throw, throw, throw, & when they're expecting you to throw you gotta throw it again.

He's just extremely lucky & it will catch up to him some day.

& don't come back & tell me that they scored 3 TD's & were in victory formation for the other one because that's just being results oriented.

Utter nonsense

Yeah, Pete is doing his best coaching job as a Seahawks head coach. Give it up........
