    Aros’ Fearless Prediction Thread (@ Cardinals)

    With Walker and Metcalf limited, it might be a low scoring game. Hawks defense has been lights out. Take under. Hawks 17, Cards 13.

    5 Games left how many do we win?

    I'm saying 3-2. We beat the Cards, Bears, and Rams, lose to Vikings and Packers. That would put us at 10-7, which is what I predicted at the start of the season, meaning that my expectations were met.

    “ESPN hates the Seahawks”

    Yep. Our SOS ranks 13th, the Cards is ranked 27th. After we play them this Sunday, the Cards have the Niners, Rams, Patriots, and Panthers while we have Packers, Vikings, Rams, and Bears.

    “ESPN hates the Seahawks”

    The latest I saw was that we have a 48% chance of making the playoffs, which seems low given that we're leading our division with 5 games left to play.

    Only 4 teams capable of winning SB?

    My opinion could change, but as of now, I think that the most likely SB matchup would be the Eagles vs. the Bills, and my money would be on the Eagles. But chit happens.

    PFF Player Rankings Thru Week 13

    Josh Allen has been cutting down on his bonehead mistakes. What has been holding him back in years past has been his interceptions. Last season, he threw 18 picks. This season, he's thrown just 5 in 12 games. They've won 7 in a row, including a b!tch slapping of the Niners on national TV in...

    PFF Player Rankings Thru Week 13

    Those are all legitimate criticisms, but they are extremely hard to quantify without introducing a significant bias. They're intangibles, like rating a woman's appearance. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. PFF does about as good of a job as humanly possible at a nearly impossible task...

    PFF Player Rankings Thru Week 13

    It all goes back to John Schneider not having respect for the offensive line. Lewis wasn't playing that badly for us and deserved a 2nd contract. He was a penalty magnet, but he was also a damn good run blocker. Now, we're having to suffer the consequences of letting a good offensive lineman...

    Woolen needs to be benched...

    Boy, a lot of comments in this thread. No way I can read all of them. It's hard to get a handle on the performance of a specific defensive back as the TV angle doesn't show them all the time. You have to be at the stadium, optimally high in the 300 level, to see how they do in coverage, so I...

    PFF Player Rankings Thru Week 13

    I am of the opinion that PFF doesn't take into enough account turnovers and where/when they occur as it relates to Geno. A good example was in the Cards game. It's a low scoring game with our defense playing lights out having kept the Cards out of the end zone and we're ahead 10-6 with the 4th...

    Interesting Stat

    I was at that game where Spoon got the sacks and pick 6. He had pretty clear shots, so either Jones didn't identify it and make the adjustment or the player assigned to block him whiffed. I'm pretty sure that they saw something that Jones wasn't picking up or accounting for as it is very rare...

    PFF Player Rankings Thru Week 13

    Ethan Pocic, now playing center for the Browns, has a 62.3 pass blocking grade, a 61.3 run blocking grade for an overall offensive grade of 60.4, which places him 28th out of 39 ranked centers. Not very good. Germain Ifedi, a tackle for the Browns, has a 42.7 pass blocking grade, a 55.0 run...

    PFF Player Rankings Thru Week 13

    No sweat, man. I have a subscription to PFF, so I need to get my money's worth out of it. And if anyone out there has a question about a specific player, position, team, etc, I'd be more than happy to see what I can find. There's a ton of information on that website.

    PFF Player Rankings Thru Week 13

    I haven't posted one of these in a while, but I was bored, so what the heck. These are the player rankings by position for our guys through Week 13. The number in parenthesis is the number of players in the position who received enough snaps to qualify for a ranking, relevant information as...

    Is Grubb retained after this season?

    I like that term: Eberflus-esque. You need to take out a patent on it.

    Is Grubb retained after this season?

    This thread is a little premature as there's still a whole lot left of this season. We still have 5 regular season games, nearly 30% of our schedule, left to play, plus the playoffs. I don't like seeing us move on from any coach after just one season, especially when the entire staff was new...

    Bears fire Matt Eberflus

    There is no doubt in my mind that the players were as pissed at Eberflus as the fans were. It was as obvious of an error on a head coach as I've ever witnessed, and every player on the team knew it. It was like he didn't care. It was a similar sentiment back in 2009 when we fired Jim Mora Jr...

    I get the feeling that we've turned the corner. Hawks 24, Jets 10.

    Bears fire Matt Eberflus

    The Bears are in negotiations with the City of Chicago for a new football stadium, and after that debacle on Thanksgiving Day in front of a nationwide audience that even the casual fan could clearly understand that it was a monumental F-up, they almost had to fire him. Plus, keep in mind that...
