For real?

[flv2]

What’s your point?

That there are justifiable reasons to question how good the Seahawks are. So far they've played 1 really good half of football. The other 3...not so much. it shouldn't matter today against a damaged Dolphins team.

 

[SuperSonic67]

Yep, one good half of football is exactly right…agree. And still 2-0 so my glass is half full

 

[CPHawk]

The donks went out and dominated the 2-0 Bucs today. That has to count for something, if we are throwing L for opponents out there

Ranking NFL's nine 2-0 teams by legitimacy: Who's actually a contender?

A 2-0 start has proven to give NFL teams a major leg up in the playoff chase. But not all of this year's unbeaten outfits are built for the long haul.

USA Today felt the same.

And then there were six

Saints, Buccaneers, Texans, Chargers all go down.

The Seahawks sneaked past the Patriots. The Jets beat them by 3 TDs.

My counter argument is they just came off a tough overtime loss and then went on a short week to play a hard division rival who knows them well.

I'm not disagreeing or saying you're wrong, but it isn't going to make the Seahawks look good.

I agree with you on that. The national media is gonna national media

 

[GeekHawk]

So we got a w, but the Jets got W?

Looks like Jimmie Johnson's cowgirls are the pretenders...

 

[Ostatehawk]

The boys look horrid. Like rotten garbage bad.

This pleases me.

Seconded!

 

[Maelstrom787]

NFL FOX Sunday (Strahan, Long, Johnson) all agreed that of the nine 2-0 teams, the Seahawks were not “for real”. Reason, we had a great culture coach and coach MacDonald has scrapped it all. I can’t wait to see them eat their words!

They're right about us being pretenders. Wrong reasoning.

We've got a good foundation for future success, but the offensive line is just too putrid to reasonably contend with.

 

[HawkRiderFan]

Howie's son is a better analyst at this point.

 

[knownone]

We'll find out how good the team is next week. Our defense has played a cupcake schedule thus far, so it'll be interesting to see what they look like against a good Lions offense.

 

[NoGain]

Meanwhile, as we question if the Hawks are overrated with their 3-0 record, you've got teams like Dallas, the Bengals, the Ravens, the 9ers, and more who'd love to be in our position now.

 

[flv2]

I'd rather be 3-0 having beaten weak teams than 1-2 having played stronger opposition.

Next week is a huge test against Detroit. First team we'll have played that has an NFL starting quality QB. Still a little worried about Hutchison against our o line

Pros and cons to this. Lots of tape to scheme for the defense on Goff. Downside is he's a starting QB and so expect Detroit to have a passing game

 

[CallMeADawg]

Jared Goff is mid.

IIRC Macdonald's Ravens defense beat the Lions like a drum. So there is that data point.
