I may not know what the **** I'm talking about - but these are things that I think after yesterday's dumpster fire.

Grubb is stuck in college. He's completely predictable, and refuses to even 'attempt' a running game (despite professing he's going to for a month now). Inexcusable. Waldron isn't looking so bad now.

Whatever you think of him, without DK this offense is *total* garbage, with the possible exception of JSN.

MM needed to BREAK UP THE FIGHT. Not stand there reading his Denny's menu pretending it wasn't happening. That's bullshit. He's the leader (or should be). Further, he might have been a god at DC in Baltimore - but he's shitting the bed pretty good here.

We. just. cannot. stop. the. run. Period. We got bitchslapped on the ground. And for weeks now. Opponents are pretty much guaranteed 6-8 yards a play. This sucks. We will continue to lose horribly until this is fixed.

Geno has some temperament and poise issues. Once he starts to tailspin doesn't seem to know how to get back on track. I hate to say it - but as much as I've liked him, he's not the 'leader' that I thought he would be - and I think he folds under pressure.

As much as I want to like him - Charbs ain't the answer to any problem you got. Further, I think we need a sledgehammer back. Not what we've got.

I don't think we're gonna pull this out this season - and that's starting to really really suck - particularly after the fast start and hope that we all had at the beginning of the season. To have the wheels just straight up fall off after the first 3 games is, well, quite frankly - kinda heartbreaking. We've got the bulk of our divisional games coming up - and I truly hope that we don't get swept/badly embarassed. On top of that, we've still go the Vikings and the Packers coming our way. In many ways, this season is reminding me of 2022. Fast start - awesome! Riiiiiiight up until Munich.

And, I wish all of these things wasn't true. And, these are just, like - you know - my opinions. And I'm not 'melting down' - just sayin.

Yell at me if ya want :)

You can get a sledgehammer back, but until the Oline is able to run block without getting blown into the backfield, it ain't gonna matter. K9 typically has to dodge at least 1 dude in the backfield. A sledgehammer back may not be able to do that on as consistent a basis that K9 does.

Prime Lynch couldn’t masks any deficiencies and ineptness of this current offensive line.

Prime Lynch would struggle to play behind this offensive line today.

For the past 3 weeks or so, I have been on Grubb. I felt like in comparison to offense '23, our offense regressed. No excuse at all.

For the past 2 years, I voiced for trading Lockett when he still has some trade value. Not sure Lockett has any trade value at this moment at all. According to Bill Walsh, for aging stars, one take the risk of trading them a year too early than a year too late, we are two years too late.

I lovingly nicknamed MM as young Macdonald upon hiring because he's very young and he will be learning on the job. He has never been HC or top man, he is learning, let's be patient. We have to, Schneider gave him a six years contract, even if we go 0-17, he will be back next year.

This one sucks if young Macdonald couldn't improve our run defense, oh well,

I agree, he is not someone who could win games singlehandedly week in and week out. Very few QB could, so we can switch Geno off, his replacement might not be much better.

When Lynch first got here, this is exactly what he had to put up with. I remember his first season and a half or so, dodging DL just trying to reach the LOS. It was brutal.

After the two red-zone failures. The team seemed "mentally beaten". I was looking at faces when they showed the sidelines and some players looked like they had given up.
That is sure how the Seahawks played after the first quarter, as if they expected to lose.

My personal thoughts:
Offense can't run the ball so forget about it
