I basically missed this game due to a freak power outage that occurred during the 1st quarter and lasted 8 hours. I saw most of the first quarter, and most of the second half at a sports bar where I could barely see what was going on. (I did see the highlight plays on NFL.com.) Anyway, a few things I thought I saw:
Lynch is still awesome.
Kearse is better than ever. There isn't a receiver I trust more on a deep route or contested throw more than Kearse right now.
Wilson was running for his life almost every play that I saw even with the starting line out there and Jared Allen on the bench. How Wilson is able to spin constant protection lapses into productive, ultra clutch play so consistently amazes me.
I thought Seattle caught some breaks from the officials in the first quarter. I thought Maxwell caught a huge break when he ripped that ball out of Jeffery's hands.
I've watched a lot of preseason games as research for fantasy football, and I honestly haven't seen a good looking secondary yet. Seattle's has been the best, but even they've been getting carved up for yardage with soft coverage that gives me Gus Bradley flashbacks. I know some of that is just defenses being vanilla, but I think a lot of it is in reaction to the new rules emphasis.
Boy, this seems to help Seattle on offense though. Harvin had over 20 yards a catch in this game. Play him loose and he cashes in.
Other than Cutler getting some tough breaks from drops and throwing a horrible pick after the snap smacked him in the face, other than that I thought he looked really sharp.
I saw a highlight of Hauschka making a 59 yarder at the half. Also from the part of the game I couldn't see, Earl Thomas got a lot of green grass on a punt return and did something with it. Apparently the Bears punter has got some serious wheels.
I could barely follow the second half, but it looked like Scruggs made a nice play. And Pryor threw a pick that will make supporting him on message boards a lot tougher.
Anyone else want to chime in? I basically only got to see about a quarter of this game.
