Disgusted.

[AROS]

We made their defense look like the best defense of all time. Wilson chose a terrible game to have his worst game as a Seahawk.

The refs stunk but what else is new?

Dunno, I'm mad, I'm tired and I'm just pissed off and can't believe the Cardinals of all teams beat us in our house, breaking the streak.

 

[SeatownJay]

The most depressing thing about this game? It brings back all the thoughts of "same old Seattle" in regards to the sports history in this town.

 

[hawks4thewin]

well at least we are consistently putting up crappy games now..
offensively.... bevel not adjusting?

 

[imnKOgnito]

Look on the bright side. Next season we're winning the Super Bowl in their house. ;-)

I was at the game, and the whole time I just felt like we were going to erupt for a few scores at any moment. Especially when Smith picked off the ball and took it to the 3.. Boy was I wrong.

We got beat down by a team who played our type of football today.

 

[Laloosh]

12-3...

 

[TwistedHusky]

Blame Bevell.

Any defense that plays like that deserves to win, and only the utter inability to deliver by our OC allowed that game to end that way.

Our OC is becoming as effective as Harvin, and if we end up missing the big game we can level the finger of blame squarely on him.

I am upset that Turbin fumbled the ball. But he shouldn't have been returning kicks in the first place.

Bevell is responsible for the entire offense, something that has been barely performing under his watch for weeks.

I don't enjoy the Weak Link and not sure what we can do to overcome him as we stumble into the playoffs.

12-3...

This is fallacy. Blowing a nut about our record while ignoring the painfully obvious shortcomings of our offense is a bad idea.

Without wholesale improvement across the board on offense, we are f*cked. SF kicked our ass, the weak Giants held us to mostly FGs and today was just pathetic.

We can't run the ball, Wilson is getting killed in the pocket, and we don't have a WR who can take over a game.

 

[dradee]

The D was great the O sucked , before the one TD drive we had a couple of first and goals and came away with a measly 3 points.

Even the kicking game sucked today, hope that was Steve and Jon's garbage day out of the way....

 

[JGfromtheNW]

The most depressing thing about this game? It brings back all the thoughts of "same old Seattle" in regards to the sports history in this town.

Unfortunately, these exact thoughts ran through my head.

How can a team come out so flat, conservative and not adjust to what the other team is doing? I honestly feel like we don't deserve to get to the big game after today.

 

[Tokadub]

I agree Bevell is struggling quite a bit. But we can't pin this specific loss entirely on him.

It looked like some of our offensive guys just weren't executing, dropping passes, standing around when Russel was scrambling instead of making cuts to him.

Lynch seemed to have an uninspired day as well...

Hope there isn't some turmoil in the locker room or something, things just seem a bit off with our execution lately. Can't quite put my finger on it.

But this is also two games in a row where Russel did not look 100%. He was a bit off last week, and probably worst this week. I'm a little concerned that the baseball contract and all this publicity he has been getting is not good for his concentration. He is seeing a sports psychologist after all which seems unusual to me, but maybe that's more common than I think?

Russel really doesn't seem like the kinda guy who would need a psychologist though unless there's something going on with the team that's really bothering him? Who knows...

I think the 49ers game you could blame Bevell 100%.

The Giants game I think a lot of the problem was our players execution, could be play calling too but it wasn't as obvious as the 49ers game to me.

Today it just seemed like our entire offensive was failing as a whole, never seen them look quite that bad or hopeless with Wilson at QB.

Really just confused what the heck is going on to be honest, I expected them to be peaking after the bye but it seems we are going into another slump.

Maybe our offensive line really isn't getting it done this year? Several weak run games in a row and Wilson seems to be taking a lot more sacks than he did last season?

Almost like they are trying to force Wilson to be a pocket QB. It almost seems like we still haven't found our offensive identity and this is a really bad time of the season to be trying to figure it out...

 

[Seaswab]

Wilson claims he wants to be consistent clutch and something, he was none of the above

The fallacy is losing your confidence over the team adjusting.

We've been here before..both offensively and defensively and made adjustments

3 weeks ago we were crushing the Saints. We were a couple missed plays from beating the 9ers, shutout a team on the road... But as is our fan base we go absolutely mental when we crash...

Every NFL team has a week (usually 2-3) like this a season.

The championship teams address, adjust and progress


This one sucked. I think we get better from it

 

[HawKnPeppa]

Can't win 'em all, but, yeah, the play calling was a bit frustrating.

I don't see why the coaches thought they could win a ground-n-pound defensive battle, with super-vanilla O against the top run D in the league. The Hawks went into SF with a similar mentality against a similar team with similar results. This approach is delusional at best. OUR D gets forced out of its comfort zone, when it can't generate its own points, on days when the offense is not performing. It is not really equipped to win a classic defensive struggle because it's built from the secondary forward.

On 'O,' they did a poor job with all of the opportunities the D gave them. The Tards had an effective short game why couldn't the Hawks, Darrell? All our O did was run the same predictable vanilla plays, but they weren't executing those well either.

"3 weeks ago"...yep, agreed. 3 weeks ago.

"Getting better from it" should have started after the 49ers game.

Sorry, not sucking on the binkie on this one. Ignoring our obvious offensive woes is silly.

 

[AROS]

Someone PLEASE explain to me why Turbin is returning kick offs?!?!?

 

[jhawk91]

I remember a drive we started on our own 45, I thought ok we have great field position, maybe we can make somthing happen. I couldn't believe we managed to go 2 freakin yards on 3 attempts and give them the ball right back. This is the worst offensive performance in a while. Usually we manage to make adjustments at the half and make a comeback.

Ball security, Aros :shock:

There is a difference between being concerned and straight up over reacting to a loss. The cardinals played lights out defense. They sent the house, Tackled Marshawn and the corners made plays in 1 on 1 situations and even then they still needed 2 or 3 game changing breaks to beat us. We can beat any team on any given sunday, but we also can be beat on any given sunday.

"Wilson claims he wants to be consistent clutch and something, he was none of the above"

You realize that asking a SECOND YEAR QB to be "consistent and clutch" going into and through the playoffs is essentially asking your QB to be Tom Brady, a feat that even Aaron Rodgers cannot match? (Yet Rodgers still has a SB ring). Very few 2nd year QBs can do that, and many that have are sure HOF types.

While we heap accolades on Wilson and he admirably performs well in spite of his experience, you don't think it is unreasonable to expect that a young QB is going to have some hiccups along the way?

Wilson has won enough games for us that he is entitled to the benefit of the doubt when he falls short.

I agree that we should put more on Wilson's shoulders, but I don't know that we can if the person entrusted with delivering the offense hasn't delivered much of value since the Saints game. The pitchforks should be up against the OC, not the QB.
