this offense can’t get one yard to save their lives. Running the same play over and over and getting no yards is amazing. They will lose the game and deserve it.

Im fine with them going for it but don't make the play start 20 ******* yards backwards when we need 1

Then put the game on them, not your offensive line that hasn't gotten push in the run game for a whole season.

I'm so pissed right now.

Walker screwed that up. He stopped
But taking the points wouldn't matter. We gave up a TD

That was the worst play call I have ever seen in my life.
Well, there was that other one. Too soon? But this one was pretty bad as well. Just kick it and keep the momentum.

With a TD there the FG wouldn’t have mattered.

Yes, the TD would have ended it regardless but it's a different thing when you are playing to stop a team from getting in FG range vs. being able to play your standard style.

It was a mistake. We get the FG we get to kick off, we get more time, we get to play a different style of defense.

Take the points especially when your short yardage game sucks.

Getting stuffed gave them momentum

I get it I was with you about going taking the points if they didn’t jump offsides. I just think there are way too many other issues on offense to focus on that one play especially since we gave up a TD after

They were getting garbage flags and one sided penalties against them to help the Rams all day.
You think that wouldn't continue in OT?

They HAD to try for the TD. The Rams were going to score a TD regardless if not.

My issue is that this is a fundamental issue of managing the team. This is something that Macdonald can fix overnight.

He's taking a very inexperienced coaching staff and asking them to keep this team on an even keel whenever they fail in these moments. And they can't do it. He's seen what this has done to this team repeatedly this year.

Additionally, he's asking the weakest unit of his football team, the one that no matter how you feel about Grubb, Geno, the LBs, anything else, the ONE unit everybody in Seahawks fandom knows is bad and saying:
I'm putting the game in your hands, guys. Show me you can do this thing that not only have you been getting slapped around THIS game, but you've been slapped around all season long, but let me put this entire game--maybe even our entire season--in your hands.

Don't put them into that situation to fail. Give your defense some breathing room. Just help your guys, man.

With our offensive line. It was sure wasn’t a good decision
