Good Thing Bobby Wagner is the best linebacker on this team and he sure played like it today. Glad to have him back. Irvin had another quietly good day too.
Bad Thing Our 4th string center is really bad. Like somehow he makes everyone on the O-line around him worse level of bad.
Good Thing Wilson clearly had his best game since we played the Rams. He was accurate, stood in the pocket when he could despite lots of pressure all day, and made clutch runs when he needed to. He did miss a wide open TD to Lockette by under-throwing him on the flea flicker though.
Bad Thing Pete's time management is still bad. We got the ball back with 15 seconds at the end of the first half and took a knee instead of with a minute or so. I'm sure if you asked Pete he would say he didn't call a timeout to "put pressure" on Stanton... Silly imo.
Good Thing Avril abused the Cardinals RT today even though it often didn't result in a sack. Those plays last year, or maybe even this year with Mebane, are plays where a little DT push destroys the play.
Bad Thing Bevell is not good. It's been said here a lot and I won't go into it too deeply but ask yourself this, how many of our good offensive plays are plays that actually worked out as designed? I feel like 90% of our big plays come on broken plays with either Wilson magic or Lynch breaking multiple tackles. Bevell doesn't have a job without those two making this offense move even when his plays don't work.
Bad Thing Penalties/Refs. Some of this is of course on our guys. God only knows how we manage so many false starts and offsides every game. That said, yet another week where our opponents are well below their season average of calls against with the Cards getting 3 today, season average pre-game of 6.5. Are teams just magically more disciplined while playing the Hawks? I don't think so. I saw multiple Cards false starts go uncalled, the play where all our guys pointed in the 1st half, and the last play of the third quarter our ones I wrote down. Quite a bit of offensive holding went uncalled too, though that pretty much happens in every NFL game.
Neutral Thing 49ers winning in the end. It really doesn't matter anymore if they win vs other teams. The Hawks need to beat the 49ers to win the division anyway and if we do that then the 49ers are irrelevant. If we don't do that then we're out of the playoffs anyway.
Best Thing Seahawks win and move to 7-4. It's been a rocky season but we're still in the thick of the playoff hunt. If this team is as good as last year we finish 11-5 and either win our division, or get to play the awful team that wins the NFC South as the 5 seed.
