Geno deserves our respect

[pittpnthrs]

Geno is a proxy for one of the dumbest debates among Seahawks fans. Was he good? No. But If you watched this game and thought Geno was the primary reason for the loss, you might want to get your eyes checked.

I get that people want to throw mud at each other when Geno does or doesn't perform, but the team was terrible today.

What was the primary reason?

 

[MORGULON]

For what? No offensive points. Game is a shutout if not for special teams.

I think you missed the point of his post.

What was the primary reason?

San Fran

 

[BASF]

What was the primary reason?

Games are won at the line of scrimmage. Their offensive line pushed our defensive line around about eighty percent of the game. Their defensive line pushed our offensive line around about ninety-five percent of the game.

I’m really proud of how Geno played – For many seasons we had Wilson thinking only about himself and his stats but today Geno showed how you could really just work at being a QB.

No matter what the down and distances, if it wasn’t there, he took the check-down – Yes, he made a mistake when trying to get a first down and was intercepted but for the rest of the game after that, he just took whatever was open and didn’t try to challenge the defense.

No matter what was needed he focused on the safe plays and didn’t take risks like RW would have done trying to pad his stats by taking risky throws and expecting his receivers to bail him out.

This loss is really a step forward for the Hawks because it will enable them to bring more team-focused, realistic play from the QB position in the future.

We should thank Geno for that.

Can we just put in Drew lock please

Can we just put in Drew lock please

They'll both likely get rotated this season after getting chances and being streaky. So don't you worry, you're probably going to get plenty of Lock.

Pete knows Lock is a turnover machine. Don't expect to see him until late Nov. / Early Dec.

Unless Geno gets hurt.

If Geno keeps shooting blanks for another 4 quarters that could speed things up, but I expect him to be okay against ATL.

Things would be no different if Russ was hear. We have no run game

 

[Bootsy51]

What a difference 9 weeks make BigBill

 

[SoulfishHawk]

No doubt. That didn't age well. Luckily many of us were WRONG about Geno and this YOUNG TEAM. And about Pete.
And our Running game is damn good, especially in the 4th quarter.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

Were we not giving Geno respect? I'm confused.

Seems like the entire planet is giving Geno all the respect he deserves right now.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

It's from Sept. 18th. I think it was just bumped to see the comments back then vs. how things turned out etc.

 

[Maelstrom787]

For 6 quarters he has been anemic, and the Seahawks offense has scored 0 points.

I'm not surprised. You shouldn't be either.

Prophetic.

 

[Maelstrom787]

The thing is that Geno was playing well, within the structure he was provided in those first two games. Anyone watching the guy could see it - but instead, most reverted to the same tired "but 6 quarters! 6 quarters!" crap instead of actually evaluating to see where the fault lied.

Doubting preseason Geno was understandable. The doubt here was just regurgitation of priors and misattributed blame based on those priors.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Fade takes............always hilarious and extremely wrong. Over and over again.

Schneider deserves to be called out for moving Bobby. I think we'd have a chance with him instead of Barton.

 

[FattyKnuckle]

Schneider deserves to be called out for moving Bobby. I think we'd have a chance with him instead of Barton.

I think the fact that the D is such garbage with Bobby gone is more damning than moving him.

 

[Jegpeg]

Schneider deserves to be called out for moving Bobby. I think we'd have a chance with him instead of Barton.

I agree Wagner is better than Barton but would we have made the play-off without the $16.6m cap space releasing him created. We probably wouldn't have been able to afford Nwoso for example (and that less than half the cap space created)

Geno ****** that game with his fumble
