    Seahawks struggle in October

    I don't necessarily disagree with the idea that the Hawks have struggled in October, but I do disagree with the idea that they struggled against the Titans in 2013. As I recall, the major reason the game was close is that Chris Maragos completely screwed the pooch on an end-of-half field goal...

    PFF gives Aaron Rodgers negative grade after 5 TD game

    The defensive holding may well have affected what Rodgers did in the pocket, but in watching the play unfold, I think they were right to grade him negatively on the play. He held on to the ball for way too long with a defender in striking distance. I was frankly a little surprised he held it...

    PFF gives Aaron Rodgers negative grade after 5 TD game

    He also had a dropped pick six. Practically threw it right to the defender. PFF will get a lot of heat for this, but I thought their explanation made sense. They admit that they can't quantify the intangibles that Rodgers brings to the offense, which is obviously a big part of his, or any QB's...

    Ouch.

    I stand corrected. I thought he'd played half or slightly more than half of the games. My point still stands. Last I checked, 6 is still greater than zero. (Of course, that comment wasn't directed at you.)

    Anyone else think Lynch is malingering?

    Even if Lynch is 100% on Kam's side, he wouldn't throw 51 teammates under the bus as a show of support. I say 51 rather than 50 because I'm pretty sure Kam wants to win, too.

    MNF Predictions

    I'm not even sure what you're trying to argue. By rule, a neutral zone infraction that leads to a false start needs to be blown dead. It's clearly spelled out in the rules. Are you trying to say the rule should be changed? If so, why? The rule as it currently stands makes perfect sense. If...

    MNF Predictions

    Assuming I'm thinking of the same play, I think in this case the ball had already been snapped. The one earlier in the game was a bit more iffy. Last week they definitely missed it on the Sherman PI play. I agree with others, though, that teams will pretty soon figure out how to combat this...

    MNF Predictions

    Maybe learn the rule before calling out other fans. You don't get the free play if you jump before the snap. Can't have your cake and eat it too.

    MNF Predictions

    That free play was legit because the Hawks OL didn't jump in response to the offsides. The issue with the Packers is that they're being granted free plays even when their OL moves before the snap. By rule, the play is dead, but the refs have been letting them play on. To be clear, the issue is...

    Ouch.

    This is totally off base. All info from last year is without their QB? They played most of their season WITH Palmer, and every metric under the sun said they were weren't nearly as good as their record. When they won games last year, it was always close, even against not-so-great teams, and they...

    Dion Bailey waived for Kam

    Lynch hasn't exactly looked great in the first two games, and the blocking isn't solely to blame.

    How much does Bulaga being out effect this game?

    Well, it did have an impact a year ago when Bulaga had to leave the opener. Having said that, you're probably right that they'll scheme to cover up this weakness. But that comes at a cost to them. If they give the RT help, it means having one less receiver to draw coverage. It they try to get...

    How much does Bulaga being out effect this game?

    In the late Holmgren era, there was definitely a HUGE disparity in the effectiveness of the pass rush between home and road games. With the current team, I feel like the disparity is not so big. There are some road games where the pass rush seems to disappear, but I think the issue there may...

    How much does Bulaga being out effect this game?

    It's a tough break, that's for sure. Fortunately for you guys, Bulaga's injury doesn't look like it will keep him out for an extended period of time. Doesn't help for this week, but playing at Lambeau is a big advantage.

    How much does Bulaga being out effect this game?

    I really don't understand where this feeling is coming from. It feels like I've been watching a totally different team than you guys the last two years. The Hawks had a devastating pass rush in 2013, and near the end of last year it was pretty good until Jordan Hill went down (not to mention...

    Jimmy Graham blocking ?

    The above is from Sheil Kapadia. More at the link below. http://espn.go.com/blog/seattle-seahawks/post/_/id/14512/darrell-bevell-getting-jimmy-graham-involved-will-be-an-emphasis So for those of you who think Graham was mostly used as a blocker, it simply wasn't true. He was used more...

    Bryan Bulaga likely out Sunday with sprained MCL

    Well, they took advantage of it during last year's opener when Bulaga left that game with an injury. Avril abused the backup RT, and expect more of the same this week. Whether that slows down the GB offense enough to win is another story...

    Injury Reports -- Seahawks at Packers (UPDATE: Bulaga OUT!)

    I was definitely leaning towards the Packers winning this game before the Bulaga injury. With him ruled out for Sunday, I'm closer to 50-50 or even leaning Seahawks in this game depending on the status of our own injuries (sure would be nice to have Simon back). Against a team with a lackluster...

    Brock Huard's Chalk Talk on the last play

    I don't know much about O-line play, but Gilliam's block doesn't look easy to me. He starts on the outside shoulder of the DE, and to seal him off from the inside he has to very quickly get to the inside shoulder of the DE (or at least square him up) and then turn him outside. Basically, he has...

    OK I listened, did I do better?

    If you don't auto-draft, I would expect the system to give you a bad projection, since both the auto-draft and the projection system are likely based on the same set of player rankings. Basically, if you have a different set of rankings and take players based on that, the projection system will...
