Russ appeared to have an off game. He wasn’t as sharp as the first two weeks. His elusiveness wasn’t his typical self. But...even an off Russell Wilson throws for over 300 yards and 5 TDS!

I just got off the phone with my brother and he said the exact same thing. :laugh:John63":3vc515su said:oldhawkfan":3vc515su said:Russ appeared to have an off game.

Amazing one of the best games by a qb of the week and people still feel the need to snark about it.
It's not snark - there were several throws that were not on target, and before you get your knickers in a twist, it's noticeable because it's different to his norm this season, which has been excellent if not robotically perfect.John63":26jclwn0 said:oldhawkfan":26jclwn0 said:Russ appeared to have an off game.

He's got 14 TDs in 3 games to only one interception, which was Olsen's fault, and even that went for a TD (this last bit is called "humour").

Yep, the fact that this can even be called an off game is a testament to how great he is.

Thats the point it should not be considered and off game. Some people's expectations for Wilson are unrealsitic.

Better players are held to higher standards. It's why Lebron gets criticism for his finals record even though leading a team to the finals for the 10th time is insane.

5tds including game winning drive 300+yards no int. how is that even close to an off game. This would be a dream game for most nfl players.

I don't know, that John guy has a bat signal for any time Russ might not be getting thoroughly respected.

It was an off game for HIM. He was off on at least three shorter throws that he normally hits that ended up as incompletions. What's so wrong with saying he wasn't perfect?
TreeRon":388s9dw5 said:Are some influenced by Akeman's remarks during the game. He was (as usual) very picky regarding Wilson's throws while he seemed effusive over Prescott. For example, just because Troy says the pass was lower than it could have been doesn't mean that Russ didn't throw just there on purpose.
I think sometimes we are influenced by the announcers, good and bad.
BTW, as soon as I saw Joe Buck and Akeman I groaned. My least favorite pair doing Seahawk games.
