It started out much like I thought it would. The D was fantastic almost the whole first half was played in Seahawks territory and they only gave up 13 points as well the D was on the field for waay to long.. penalties poor O line play and miscues defined the O.

What impressed me was that Grubb made the half adjustments. As soon as they established the run it opened everything up and Denvers D was guessing. K-9 was fantastic and the o line made it happen when they needed to. Not sure what more we could ask for for a first game

It was a great win for the Hawks as losing this one would have been bad. Miami, Detroit and SF, 3 of the toughest games of the next 5. They are right where they need to be. Great first win for MacDonald and Grubb. Let's see if they can keep it going as Denver and Nix is NOT a defining game but a good start.

This team can win a lot of games with this type of defensive performance. Offense just needs to be cleaned up a bit.

It was a really nice win and I'm not trying to down play it but it was against a rookie Qb in his debut game. There were lots of things to like about this D no doubt about that but I'm not sold yet. I want to see more.

Yeah, a little less than world beaters today. But can you imagine if we had last year's D out there? OMG it would've been bleeding tons of points. Man that offensive line was offensive. But again, last year minimal adjustments. This year corrective measures were successfully employed. Why no screens though?

Hope fants injury isn't bad and Lucas is back soon because Forsythe at RT was a traffic cone. Also wouldn't mind seeing what we have in Haynes.

Guessing that kick returner gets cut, he looked terrified after the fumble.

I expect growing pains till stuff gets figured out. It's a new regime and scheme. I think they will but there will be a few losses early until we do

I just love how they won. It was nice seeing a good game plan against a rookie QB and the offense making adjustments even with their RT down.
