    Per SI: Steelers Done with Russell Wilson

    I'd rather look at it as "holy s***, the defense and Lynch were underrated"

    Per SI: Steelers Done with Russell Wilson

    Geno is an anomaly. Plays the position better than Wilson, but never had the teams Wilson had when he had his 99-2 record vs the Niners. Wherever/whenever the 49ers faced Wilson, the 2013 Seahawks defense was always somewhat present, and Wilson only needed one drive to win those games.

    Per SI: Steelers Done with Russell Wilson

    Thank you for so eloquently saying what I've been saying for years, haha. Perfectly stated, exactly as I would have said it. The 1 of 1 is a highly underappreciated statement........we will likely never see another Wilson type QB, at least not for a very long time. He did 1-2 things at a...

    Why do we care about Russ anymore?

    Your post summed up my #1 frustration I had with Wilson his entire career, particularly as it related to his role in the Seahawks' success. In all honesty, if Wilson played for nearly any other team I wouldn't hate him as much (or possibly at all). But since he played for the Seahawks who were...

    Only 1 true villain remains

    There was some luck involved for sure, and the Niners could've lost. Was it the luckiest NFC West playoff win in the last decade? Not by a long shot, haha.

    Go Lions

    We know the feeling too, circa 2015-2018.

    Carroll Out As Head Coach

    Carroll I think can't (easily) reinvent the powerhouse team in the early 2010s. Too many pieces gone, and the defense/RB running the show can't get it done anymore (Shanahan tried numerous times already). Carroll would make more sense in Tennessee, 2018 Jaguars, NY Jets, Lions, than the...

    Carroll Out As Head Coach

    More an indictment on Wilson than Carroll.....at least after he got paid and the LOB left and Lynch retired.

    Who do you want as the HC?

    I don't want to manifest this....but Schwartz' record against Kyle Shanahan is better than any other DC in the league by a mile. Many of those wins came from having a better team, but the 2016 Falcons lost to the Eagles, 2021 Titans (he was an assistant) beat the Niners, and the Browns stifled...

    Eagles

    The only reason fans of better teams ever get nervous before games. Vegas had the Niners as road favorites in Philly, and still have them as double digit favorites after the Packers blew out the #2 seed in the NFC. The Packers can be hot, but what's their DVOA ranking. That 9-1 record...

    Ravens DC Mike McDonald

    Flacco sucks, and Lamar isn't much better.

    Carroll, Wilson, plus Lockett to Atlanta Falcon

    Oh isn't it ironic that Pete felt the need to take veiled shots at Wilson when he spent the first few seasons of Wilson's career defending him?? That's the kinda guy Wilson is....ungrateful. He basically created a rift in the team between defense and him, then abandoned the guy who championed...

    *Flashback* Seahawks vs 49ers Week 10 - 2019

    Match up yes, but the subtle difference was being able to stop Shanahan (Garoppolo??) better and then Wilson in a close game against SF almost always gets his way. If you watch every healthy Jimmy G start against Seattle (minus the one in 2020 at Lumen when he was still hurt), the Niners moved...

    RW and the HOF

    Each year that goes by, it will be clearer and clearer what a job Carroll did with that defense, trading for Lynch, and managing Wilson. Wilson lucked out in going to the perfect situation. 2012-2014 Seahawks were an absolute monster that could run the ball and keep games low scoring long...

    Russ benched

    This is good to see.
