    Well...this should cause some "reaction"

    I took the switch from Geno to Darnold as the best possible move the Seahawks had available under the circumstances. I don't see him as middle of the road marginal, bur more a great fit with what the team wanted to do. I was impressed with Sam throwing a game-winning TD for the Vikings last...

    Which is more frustrating?

    Hey, it's "OVERREACTION MONDAY". I'll allow it. (As if I had any authority to allow or disallow anything, but hey, moral support is every bit as good as a moral victory, right?) That said, I'll take the actual victory and a celebratory shot, with my recent-seasons-suffering Pats fan housemate...

    Defense got tired late in game

    Kickers are streaky, doink happens. The phantom "holding" call on JSN to erase the TD was NFL refs "steering" the game to keep it close. Give the Tards credit, they fought hard. Now we just need them to be good enough to beat the 49ers and Rams at least once each.

    THE ASTROS ARE ELIMINATED!!!!!

    That would be so fitting! Astros rendered to the "trash can" of playoff contention.

    JSN Comment to Ref

    I didn't see a hold on the replay, what was that ref looking at??

    Defense got tired late in game

    Also, it was a factor that the Cardinals offense played up-tempo, no huddle several stretches in this game.

    Robbie Ouzts to IR

    Ouzts is such a crushing blocker, reads the block that needs to be made so well, that no other "FB" can really take his place. At least you can tell it's Russell with his hair out the back of his helmet.

    Defense got tired late in game

    Chasing Murray around is tiring for a defense. It seemed our pass rush wasn't as energetic, DBs a half step slow. Props to the Cards offense for making it tough on the Hawks defense, and props to the Hawks Special Teams and Offense for clutch performance. Any division win on the road is a good win.

    Honest Question. Who is playing better than Darnold right now?

    One final blaze of glory for Wentz with the Vikes? Will it last longer than one game? Re-watched the Vikes-Bengals highlights and Wentz was decent but maybe I mentally mixed in some of Danny Dimes plays with Wentz. Looks like Wentz will start a couple more games while JJ McCarthy is out. Yeah...

    Seahawks "expected" to sign Khalil Herbert

    Sounds like a p*rawn fetish movie. Been watching District 9 again?

    Beautiful play

    The new RB signing, Khalil Herbert, has a number of highlights that look a lot like this play. So clearly MikeMac highly values that type of extra effort.

    The next Richard Sherman?

    Nobody *really* cares. Keep posting things that lead to good discussion even if a few other posters respond with zingers. If you don't provoke an occasional zinger response around here, you're probably playing it much too safe. It's just an Internet message board. My reaction was along the...

    Klint Kubiak Revenge Game

    Just another game. I'm sure it was slightly special for Kubiak. I bet if he were asked, he'd say that the improving execution of the offense was the most satisfying part for him, way more than any "revenge" theme. And he might say that the Special Teams made things easier by creating a 2 TD...

    Jobe and/or Kendrick=Benched Riq?

    Hawks lost 2 Superb Owls due to crappy DB depth and guys getting injured at the wrong time. JS knows this even if MikeMac doesn't. SS Marquand Manuel in SBXL and CB Jeremy Lane in SB XLIX both went down and cost the Seahawks the game. Woolen will be kept around through the season and...

    Honest Question. Who is playing better than Darnold right now?

    The only QB I've seen that would be an upgrade would be Justin Herbert of the Chargers. But Darnold is doing everything asked of him and just had poop for luck in week 1. Also doing well that I've seen... Goff, Mayfield, Indiana Jones. Surprisingly, last weekend, Carson Wentz. There are more...

    Seahawks "expected" to sign Khalil Herbert

    Martinez didn't do much with his preseason opportunities, IMO didn't live up to his college tape. Maybe not fully healthy, or other issues. So not surprised the Hawks let him walk. Maybe the light bulb will go on for Martinez at one of his next stops.

    Seahawks "expected" to sign Khalil Herbert

    After watching Herbert's highlights... His running style seems like a perfect fit for the Seahawks line and offensive scheme. He has a good sense of where the holes will be and bursts through them. He doesn't have Walker's top-end speed; there were several runs of his where Walker's speed would...

    Seahawks "expected" to sign Khalil Herbert

    Well, there's still time to change the road you're on.

    Holy Catfish!

    Agreed. I'll have to do this too. The announcers for this game weren't bad, Adam Amin and Mark Sanchez, but Raibs is a definite upgrade.

    Why did Charbs suck and Walker feast vs Pitt?

    Somehow Pitt had Charb's number. 15 carries for 10 yards??!! Walker 13 carries for 105 and that beautiful clinching TD. The Hawks basically rotated between giving carries to Charbs and Walker. Does anyone have an analysis for why Pitt stuffed Charbs on most carries? Was it O-Line getting...
