Some pretty cool history (Defense)

[hugecanoli]

The Seahawks are the first team to start 3-0 and allow fewer than 150 passing yards in each game since the 1979 Steelers, via NFL Research.

Nice! Certainly it helps facing a 2nd string QB today, but I'm sure that happens every year and nobody else ever took advantage like us...

 

[hugecanoli]

Remember all the career days we gave up to backups over the past few years?

Just a flat-out 180.

 

[Ruminator]

About time!

 

[hgwellz12]

That's dope!

 

[Atradees]

Six sacks and 12 qb hits. Wow

 

[CPHawk]

But I’m told we will get killed when we face a contender

Offensively …..!!

The defense looks like it has the potential to hang tough with anybody

Yet like half of the posts I saw after the game ended were negative lol. The super bowl teams LOB era didn't have a great O line either.

 

[Polk738]

As of now after 3 games they are the no. 2 ranked defense in yards allowed and pts allowed

The defense has been great...BUT untested. The 3 games were against Bo in his NFL debut, Brissett and Skylar Thompson/3rd string.

 

[CPHawk]

While true, we aren’t facing backup OL, and we are getting tons of qb pressure

Oh boy, here we go. The "they played well, but" crowd is out in force. Just enjoy a damn win

We have been tested just not challenged, remember incorporating a new defense and offense with guys that were never in the positions they are in leading the Team, Offense and Defense at the NFL level.

School gets started against the Lions with a higher grade level to test us.

Also top ranked Defenses play the lower tiers also and are supposed to control the narrative, we have done that mostly, against the leagues top teams most defenses give up more on something or the teams they play would not be winners, what you take away and challenge them to do secondarily is how you win.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

If they lose to the Lions, it's not because they are not a legit team and/or a good team. It'll be a battle that could go either way.

 

[evergreen]

It’s time for us to lose to them. We’ve beaten like the last three years or something. Close games too I think.

 

[RiverDog]

Here's another little tidbit and blast from the past. From the last paragraph on us in the article in the OP:

With his 71-yard TD catch Sunday against the Dolphins, DK Metcalf now has three career receiving touchdowns of 70-plus yards, which is tied with Daryl Turner for the most in Seahawks history.

Who can forget DT deep threat Daryl Turner. I used to get on that guy's case because he'd give up on balls way too early.

Wrong. It's not time.

Hawks by 3

oh boy...heaven forbid a fan that doesn't think every win is perfect and wants more wins for the rest of the season

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yeah, because that's clearly what I was saying. I obviously don't think people want wins
And feel free to show me where I said it was perfect. It was ugly af at times, and they are 3-0. Next
