Hold Off On Those Super Bowl Plans...

Just seen this post and not read any of the replies, but I thought we played a nice, tough game of football against Green Bay -- a good team in their own right filled with Super Bowl winners.

Wilson looked brilliant in the first drive. Good enough for me, especially given the lack of a specific game plan (it's pre-season).

The O-line struggled against some exotic blitzing, the type you don't usually see in pre-season. Good luck to Green Bay using that against the Niners if that's their plan. They will be destroyed.

Sweezy had a good game, but the penalties taint that impression.

The defense was superb, playing great against the run and limiting big plays - the football we try to play. Plus we were missing all of or best LEO's.

Overall a nice work out. Bring on the Raiders.

The Raiders...just read some interesting news about them.

"Per ESPN's Adam Caplan, it's the "feeling among many execs" that Pryor will indeed be Oakland's Week 1 starter, assuming he doesn't bomb his final audition. The Raiders face the Seahawks next week. For some perspective, Seattle's second-team defense is probably just as good -- if not better -- than Oakland's defensive starting 11."

Hawks should have a field day this week.

And we just got rid of Moffitt. Hrmmm.

I'm not entirely sure why people are so high on Moffitt, the guy is not quality enough for this team. He is not fast/strong enough, even as a backup. We have much better linemen who may actually be cut or stuck on the PS this year.

Will also be a good test for our defense - Pryor has some mobility.

Another tiny rant.....it really bugs the you know what out of me when people give kudos for winning a preseason game, especially one where the other team's QB didn't play. It was 3 to 3 at halftime. We didn't win. So the other team's backups couldn't stop Christine Michael. We should go celebrate.

I don't think people are patting themselves on the back over last night's game anywhere near as much as you suggest.

Did we look great? No. You have every right to be unimpressed by how we played last night.

I suggest that if you're unimpressed by us, you should really be unimpressed by how the Green Bay Packers played, though. More complex passing routes than we're using in preseason, no huddle offense, tons of stunts and blitzes on defense.....and Green Bay did all this, just to play us to a standstill.

I don't mind it, just like I didn't mind Denver's extensive no huddle, bunch formations, rub routes, 3 WR combo routes, etc., from last week. Hey, it's great practice for us against a solid playoff team. I'm just amused that Denver, and now Green Bay, have felt the need to resort to doing all this. We should surely be ready for anything Carolina throws at us in the season opener.

This is too much of a Seahawk centric point of view. This is preseason, there is absolutely nothing wrong with no-huddle, blitzing and the like. Teams are practicing what they will be doing in real games. Denver will run with the no huddle in80% of their snaps in real games, practicing this is perfectly fine.
