    Pete Carroll needs to go

    After losing to the 4-11 Dolphins, legit competitor for worst team in football, here are some comments from the Patriots forums/blogs this afternoon. Do they sound familiar... and equally stupid? - "I legit feel embarrassed for this team" - "Lesson is that this team got there asses handed to...

    Did Arizona recognize our play calls

    The above pretty much covers it but I will add one more thing. Quoting the overall NFL win-loss record of Harbaugh vs Carroll to make a point about which coach is better is a bit like wishful thinking that Conference record should decide playoff seeding after your team lost head to head to...

    Marshawn and Seattle...mutual interest per Ian Rapoport

    Marshawn is washed and sucked at Oakland? Just a PR stunt? Did anyone saying these things even watch a single game Lynch played at Oakland? I have no idea what to expect next Sunday and I'm sure we'll miss Chris Carson out there, but Lynch was by far the best option available, even if it...

    Marshawn and Seattle...mutual interest per Ian Rapoport

    At this point, as others have said, why not? There is nothing to lose. There aren't great options left after 31 other teams have secured 3-4 running backs each. I hope they promote Xavier Turner and maybe make one other move to have every option available. Beating the 49ers with team...

    Pete Carroll needs to go

    Or perhaps you are blinded to success by your out of control emotions and personal agenda? Different fourth down decisions would not have turned this game. Good teams lose to "worse" teams for reasons other than the head coach. Shanahan's 49ers and Payton's Saints, both in far better health...

    O Line

    Let's have some perspective here. The offensive line for much of yesterday's game was down to 3 backups and 2 starters. Think about that. For those not named backup Jamarco Jones, facing the #1 sacker in the entire NFL, the offensive line was responsible for all of 1 hit and 4 hurries...

    Injuries in perspective

    I thought it was bad before but now it's getting ridiculous. Not only are the Seahawks #2 in the league for player games lost to injuries (virtually tied for #1). But by PFF grades, the team will be missing their top 3 defenders (Diggs, Clowney and Shaquille if he is sidelined again) and 3 of...

    PFF Grades for OL vs carolina

    Actually #2 of the NFC playoff teams since week 9, and #8 overall, according to the table above.

    PFF Grades for OL vs carolina

    Yes, but 8th since week 9. So the question is which ranking is more representative right now? Seems to me something closer to the recent numbers (i.e. league average+). This is supported by a steady but ultimately pretty significant improvement from Ifedi over the course of year, who was...

    PFF Grades for OL vs carolina

    Lots of good teams with great pass rushes since week 9.

    PFF Grades for OL vs carolina

    The OL has improved over the year. Since week 9, PFF gives Seattle the #8 best pass blocking efficiency.

    Can someone please explain the 3 LBs at all times approach

    Hey, I appreciate there is a difference of opinion here, with strong opinions on both sides. All I will say is it's not cut and dry and it should have nothing to do with blindly defending or critiquing Carroll/Norton. It should be about the facts. I wish we had Justin Coleman still so that we...

    Our defense is just simply NOT very good....

    I just posted this in another thread but since you asked, the Tweet below indicates dramatic improvement over that stretch, bringing the Hawks as high as #6 in opponent passer rating. https://twitter.com/GrahamBarfield/status/1199482298887888896 The defense has real potential and the offense...

    You notice after one bad game..

    That is a perfect breakdown and gave me a good laugh, thanks. :2thumbs:

    Can someone please explain the 3 LBs at all times approach

    I didn't really comment on linebacker coverage in general. What I said was overblown was the knee jerk reaction that Seattle should run nickel at league average rates, when in Seattle's case this actually means putting a worse player and athlete on the field. Kendricks may well be better in...

    Can someone please explain the 3 LBs at all times approach

    Agreed, though it's difficult to weigh the relative impact of talent vs gameplanning. In my view McVay has had the much more talented roster overall up until now, thanks in part to the relative QB cap advantage and the years of high draft position, but the Rams are entering cap hell soon...

    You notice after one bad game..

    Well said. For some perspective again, the 2019 Seahawks are: - #4 youngest team in the league, the last time I checked, and are still in a rebuilding year; - #2 most injured team, by missed player games (that was before Penny!); and they faced the - #1 toughest schedule by opponent DVOA...

    Can someone please explain the 3 LBs at all times approach

    My reply was obviously focused on the "nickel issue" which I think has been overblown, but your more general question about the "Rams problem" is a troubling one. On the one hand, I think the particularly bad showing by the Seahawks defensively, and even more so offensively, last Sunday...

    Worst called game by Schotty this year

    There were intermediate routes with open receivers as Collingsworth pointed out, showing one example (Metcalf). I saw Russ holding the ball a long, long time. It's absurd to just blame coaches when you can't see 90% of what is going on during TV broadcast. Coaches film will be analyzed...

    Can someone please explain the 3 LBs at all times approach

    The idea that Pete is having a year long senior moment running "three lumberling linebackers" against a pass happy league is pretty misplaced. Let's look a little deeper at this. This year Seattle simply didn't have great options at nickel cornerback. Justin Coleman was really, really good...
