    Kam PI was BS

    Um. What were you watching? How is standing ground seen as making contact? I think you're ignoring the part of that rule that classifies those acts regardless of being an offensive or defensive player (or are you arguing that Rudolph has gained position and is playing the ball). How are you...

    Kam PI was BS

    This here is evidence of a lack of objectivity. I initially thought the same on Sherm's, but one replay showed a pretty blatant yank. And Avril's was rather minor contact, but it was late enough that it's going to be called in today's NFL. But yeah, Kam's PI is one of those ridiculous ones where...

    Seahawks have #2 offense in the NFL per DVOA

    So every team in the league is operating they best they can with the players they have? When you think about it, that's exactly what you're saying. Yeah, I'm sticking with my opinion that the Bevell/Wilson combo has joined the OL in performing better recently than they were earlier this season.

    McShay mock 1.0: Nebraska DT Maliek Collins to Seattle

    The late-round DB options aren't what they used to be. It hasn't been as easy to find that next great corner there because the rest of the league has adjusted and certain guys don't make as deep as they might have in a different year. It's another example of the need to adapt and realize the...

    Steeler forums and the officiating.

    Good overall response, though I think you're overcompensating on some of the decisions in this game. This statement I quoted though is how I see NFL officiating. Each guy and crew does have an agenda, but it's generally just to keep their job and earn the best assignments. An oft-overlooked...

    How quickly we forget....

    They are keeping things in the window where the flip-of-a coin type play hurts more, but I'd say their struggles to hang on aren't random; they are due to not being as good in the run game for tangible reasons. Those conversions and stops happened more consistently before because they were better.

    How quickly we forget....

    Good post. I do think though, that regression to the mean gets talked about too much. It's not meaningless, but feels like it assumes too much randomness. Just because a bigger sample size starts to look closer to 50/50 (which is inevitable in zero-sum things) doesn't mean each "sample" is...

    The Seahawks elite offense between 2012-2015

    Yup, and it's admitted to be a weakness by it's creators. DVOA is all about per-play efficiency, but pretty much anyone who has a clue knows that earning yourself more plays kinda matters. It gives a team more credit for driving based on a big play or two relative to earning it by just stringing...

    Compensatory picks can be traded next year!

    Yes please. And expand the total roster size and give the players a bigger piece of the pie (cheerleaders too).

    Bevell: "had the look we wanted" on the first 2pt conversion

    The only potential call or design issue with Bevell on this one is the proximity of Lynch and Graham, which could be on Graham not getting as deep as designed. The direct problem is the QB execution, for which he should get indirect (and probably minor) blame for how he prepared Wilson. The only...

    Another Graham thread

    How much different would we view the Graham trade if the right complementary move was made? How they didn't put more effort into finding a 2nd or 3rd TE who isn't a below average blocker is the baffling part. It reminds me of signing Sexson instead of Delgado to go with Beltre. The M's valuing...

    They Changed the Recipe..

    No "recipe" is going to work well for very long in the NFL, especially considering it's impossible to maintain even if you try. I keep hearing about that first 3 plays being a problem, being all passes and signalling a change of identity, etc. It is preposterous to me to consider a successful...

    Husky fan: true or false

    Absolutely nothing to suggest he will be a weakness that prevents it beyond this season, when there are many other weaknesses doing that already. It truly is a team accomplishment, and a QB can be a couple notches below elite and lead his team to a title (or with the right team and some luck, a...

    ESPN Article: 10 Worst NFL Contracts (2 Seahawks)

    I'm not going to say it wasn't bad, but the lack of long-term ramifications alone mean it shouldn't be anywhere near most of those others. It was a miss, but with the importance of the position, I'll take a shot like that or even Whitehurst any day over a lot of the alternatives. Like Kiwi...

    ESPN Article: 10 Worst NFL Contracts (2 Seahawks)

    I have to agree on the Flynn deal. Even without considering what it might have meant for Wilson, Wagner, etc., that deal shouldn't have even sniffed the discussion.

    Talib ??? (Eye poke)

    Another way to see this clip? That vine is gone.

    Bailey

    Is it possible that both guys failed on that play?
