    Echoes of Seahawks past: Broncos fans ponder their glamorous and enigmatic quarterback

    Any of this look familiar? Do you ever painfully recall your own recent fandom past? Straining to comprehend your expensive and enigmatic quarterback's limitations and decline, especially in the face of emerging defensive trends? Did you cope by blaming coaches, scheme, personnel? Mostly I...

    Really impressed by this O Line

    Of course it's preseason so metrics like the one below are all but meaningless, but the signs are pointing in the right direction for the offensive line at least. Cross and Lucas look to be great picks and Blythe a pretty good signing. There is some depth as well - Haynes for example is...

    Your Impressions of the Offense

    So... 3-way interaction seen on TV broadcast, on the sidelines after 1 of 3 recorded sacks, with another Seahawk in such close proximity in a noisy stadium to have heard it all. This should be child's play to identify the Top Secret seahawk "source" aka "friend" in this bizarrely-unfolding and...

    Seahawks Trade Rumors

    Given the discussion of Dunlap's pass rush win rate, you may want to see this from the 2019 season. https://twitter.com/PFF_Neil/status/1212758054510485504 In the last half of 2019 Dunlap also had the league's #5 best weighted pressure rate (pass rush productivity) according to PFF. The guy...

    The Herd "Seattle has the worst off. & def. lines in NFL

    Week 1 Trench Warfare: #12 defensive line pass rush win rate (with one surpising standout on very limited snaps) #19 offensive line pass blocking win rate https://twitter.com/SethWalder/status/1306734024040296451 https://twitter.com/SethWalder/status/1305294902335602688...

    Jordyn Brooks

    According to several credible news reports, if the Ravens had their way in the draft, they would have taken Brooks leaving Patrick Queen to Seattle. Fortunately, PCJS got the guy they (and others) wanted most and the guy who is the better fit. In time - quite a bit of time - we'll see who the...

    What happens if one team has fans and the other doesn't?

    To answer the competitive advantage part of 'what if', the NFL's memo to teams last week stated that every team, with or without fans in the stands, must play prerecorded audience noise at the same decibel evel while the game is being played (to be monitored by the league). So Jerry Jones is...

    NBC Sports NW's Joe Fann on how dangerous Seattle's offense

    The Seahawks already had an offensive juggernaut and likely improved at most if not all offensive position groups this offeason. The formula works. According to Football Outsider's widely used measure of offensive efficiency: 2019: #4 pass offense, #6 run offense 2018: #6 pass offense, #6...

    Pete is destroying Russell Wilson career

    [INSERT: RW played his part in 3 points scored in the first half.] It's too obvious. We are squandering [PC's] career. Now all you [RW] apologists sound off. Supporting [first-half game] mediocrity is not part of loyalty. [ :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: ]

    Pete is destroying Russell Wilson career

    I was going to stay out of these silly threads but I will make this 'one and done' with a few minor points. Wilson did play 4 quarters. In the first half he was 6 for 13. One of his first passes was directly into the waiting arms of a defender, who dropped a dead easy interception. Other...

    Thank you Seahawks!!!

    Hear, hear! A nice thread to see and a good antidote to the toxic, blame-happy culture of so much fandom. It was a hard fought game and I was surprised it ended up close at all given the Packers' home field, bye week, health and matchup advantages. Even more, it was a outstanding season in...

    Dont jerk around

    Don't jerk around a 57-0 Seahawks streak holding a lead. I'd be far more worried about obtaining a lead in the first place. The cards are heavily, heavily stacked against in this one. Let's hope the Packers Flu at least evens the playing field a tiny bit.

    Quandre for MVP?

    Yes, almost a touchdown PPG difference with Diggs. For a statistic that accounts for opponent strength and more, in the now 6 games played with Diggs the defensive efficiency (DVOA)according to Football Outsiders is about -10.1% versus +9.6% without him. This is the difference between the...

    Quandre Diggs and the two-faced Seahawk defense

    The 2019 Seahawks defense sucks! But wait, didn't it carry the team to several late season victories!? Can both be true? I am still trying to get my head around this defense because there are a lot of moving parts and some weirdly inconsistent results week to week. Get ready for some...

    Homer/Lynch > Carson/Penny

    Uh no. Not even close. In addition to the quantitative measures that have been posted in these forums showing the Seahawks with the #1 or #2 most injuries measured by player games missed, you could actually make a qualitative argument that the Seahawks losing their top three running backs...

    17 Takeaways from Seattle's First Playoff Victory in a While

    Superb summary! I am conflicted and uncertain still about point #4 but that's more of an offseason discussion. Otherwise I think I agree for the most part. For those still complaining about 17 handoffs versus 36 dropbacks - puhleese. Abandoning the run entirely is foolish, even when it's...

    Seahawks almost missed the playoffs?

    This is exactly why I laugh every time Zurlein's miss from almost the exact same distance is brought up constantly. We were closer to getting #1 seed than missing the playoffs. Almosts mean nothing.

    Pete Carroll needs to go

    Nope. These are the #1 and #2 most successful coaches of the decade. If past success doesn't matter (lol!) then currently the Patriots are 12-4 and #3 seed coming off the most embarrassing NFL loss of the season. The Seahawks tonight are precisely "sniffing" 12-4 and #3 seed if you are paying...

    Pete Carroll needs to go

    Yup. You said it. The fans are right, even when spewing their irrational, uncontrolled baby emotions as we see so much of here. Past success is irrelevant. Bad loss, bad coaching, fire Belichick. :lol:

    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...
