Last Night Was Russell Wilson's First Ever Double Digit Loss

[Hawk-Lock]

According to Berman on MNF Countdown.

Wow.

Wow.

Just saw that. It's an amazing stat. Even in a loss we are always close. Think about how many teams, even great ones that go on to win super bowls lay eggs in the regular season. Since Wilson took over, I haven't recalled watching a game where we just completely worked for 60 min in a blow out.

Props to a really amazing defense, and to a good extent that running game.....and for at least 8 games a year, the Stadium too.

Wilson plays a role, but no long time QB has went an entire career without a proper beating.

Montana, Young, Favre, Aikman, Rodgers, Brees, Luck, Brady, Ryan, Flacco, Manning P & E, etc. have all gotten their butts kicked by large margins at least once or twice in their careers, or shall I say their teams got their butts kicked.

The streak for the Seahawks goes back even further, to TJack, if I recall correctly.

Russell Wilson's streak goes back to October 2010. Before TJack.

Besides that, there are more positives I'm sure.

What about the first two games we were also ahead in the 4th quarter? (Okay, a negative cuz we didn't finish, a positive for being able to keep it close and we usually DO finish)

There's still some good stuff in there.

2011 actually. Lost to Dallas 23-13 on 11/6/11. Lost to Cinci 34-12 the week before that.

Really, more of a Pete Carroll streak than a QB streak.

It's an amazing thing to be competitive in every game. No matter how bad the Hawks play, they always have a chance to win in the 4th Quarter. No other team can say that.

You do realize Wilson was at Wisconsin in 2011 and at NCSU in 2010 right?
His last double digit loss was to VTech in 2010.
Sure it was college but we know NCSU and Wisconsin aren't elite programs but Wilson always made plays.

Just like winning drives and 4th qtr comebacks this stat is as much a qb thing as it is coaching. Wilson contributed to it directly by throwing few interceptions and handling the ball securely where ever he played.

So, we've basically been in every game since 2011. Awesome. Every other "contender" during that period of time has had games they've blown, completely, and lost by much more. We'll be 2-2 after week 4 and the only time this will come up is when they talk about seeding later this year.

Go Hawks!

Actually, didn't we get a double digit loss against the Chargers last year to break that streak? They kicked a FG in the closing seconds JUST to beat our streak if I recall correctly.

Nope Chargers won 30-21.

This 10 point loss is pretty deceiving too since we had the ball late in the game and were driving for the possible game tying score. It is so nice to always be in a game. We were being blown out a few times, GB in the playoffs, Atlanta a couple of years ago and Tampa at home and in each case this team turned it around and either won or at least gave us a lead. we are the only team in the league that has competed like that during the Wilson years.

 

[BlueTalons]

Also the "having a lead at some point in the game" streak is still alive. Pretty amazing when you consider we were down 21-0 (TB), 20-0 (Atlanta), 17-0 (Houston), 16-0 (GB,) 14-0 (Washington,) and 10-0 (SF,GB) and came back to win all but the Atlanta and the last GB game -- and 4 were playoff games!
