-- After the punt return TD in the first quarter, the 12's were as loud as I have heard it in that stadium in YEARS. The false starts, backing them up, was nostalgic. Was thinking that was going to be the story of the game. Damn.
-- Yes, the fumbles from Carson is an obvious issue but my big question yesterday was "Why aren't you changing your cleats?!?" The slipping was ridiculous. Where are the coaches telling him to change his cleats?
-- Speaking of Carson...Keep feeding him. Simply tell him to hold the ball like he is trying to crush it until the play is over. I don't want him second-guessing who he is as a runner, but he does need to treat the ball like it's a bomb that will explode if it leaves his hands before the play is over.
-- My phone was blowing up yesterday after the loss. "What's wrong with the Seahawks!!" "They aren't as good as we thought!!" Laugh. Out. Loud. Give me a break. Hyperbole in September is charming. We were 1-2 this time last year and we still made the playoffs. It was a bad game in bad weather and we were outcoached. It. Happens. R-E-L-A-X.
-- How in the hell is Kamara that slippery? Is he really that good or are we that bad? Wait, don't answer that.
-- 4th and 1. I told everyone around me, "If they want the first down or even score here, have Russ go on a naked bootleg. But what they are gonna do is call a run up the middle for no gain." Guess what happened.
-- They kept calling Fant an illegible receiver all game long. They should have thrown to him at least once! Throw us wet 12's a bone in a crap game like that for Petey's Sake!
-- Took an old friend to the game who is a huge diehard and despite the rain and loss, he still loved every minute of the experience. Sure, a win would have been awesome but it reminded me that this is a game, and it's not just the win or loss, but the entire day spent with friends and fellow 12's, passionate about our team win or loss.
-- Still holding fast to my preseason prediction of 11-5. GO HAWKS!
