Um, what?3-2 is a "mediocre good" team, when we were counting ourselves "elite".

We live close to Cincinnati and hit their games quite often. Our AFC team if you will…My good friend is a Bengals season ticket holder and was nice enough to take me to the game today. I had never been to Cincinnati. I have to say their fan base, as I met them, were mostly super nice and supportive of their team instead of trash talking Seahawks fans. I was also proud that there were a lot of Seahawks fans in that stadium.
Felt like we were going to win until the last series.
I agree, but also the execution on the plays he called was not good. Maybe the defense anticipated the playcallng. I want to see some NEW stuff in the red zone next game.The play calling was abysmal in the red zone. I put a lot of that lack of success on Waldron. Just pathetic.
Haynes and Curhan were both fighting through injury because they basically had to. The result was poor, but criticizing them for it is misguided. Bradford had a good game upon review with a few blown protections but above average play on average.Watch Haynes on 4th and Goal. (9:41 mark)
Watch Bradford/Curran on 4th and 8 (11:16 mark)
The thing is, was Waldron not privy to the injury report? If he knew that even the back ups weren't 100% healthy, why call long developing plays, and where were the TEs to help block? Where were the quick passes, or roll outs to move Geno out of the pocket? A lot of those red zone plays made zero sense.Haynes and Curhan were both fighting through injury because they basically had to. The result was poor, but criticizing them for it is misguided.

If you watch the clips I annotated you’ll see Haynes planked out and being driven like a blocking sled until he is literally laying on the ground.Haynes and Curhan were both fighting through injury because they basically had to.

Anarumo is a killer. He's legit. The Bengals have an underrated front-7, too, and that's not even Anarumo's bread-and-butter. Hendrickson especially is a top-5 to top-10 edge in the league.Listening to some podcasts about the week in review (national, not Seahawk focused), the general consensus was more about giving props to Lou Anarumo and what he threw out at Geno, particularly on 3rd down. I have heard him get praise in the past the way he does mix things up and change on the fly....going back to when they shut the Chiefs down in the 2nd half of the AFC final 2 years ago.
"Big Lou" ad Ben Solak calls him got the better of Geno for sure. But the guys I listen give more credit to the DC and didnt' express concerns about Geno long term.
It made me feel better to hear that.
Literally no one. Maybe that blue sky's guy on Locked on Seahawks. But no one elsePlease enlighten us..........who said the Hawks were "elite" on here?
I don't disagree, and some of the difficulty was also Geno struggling to get the ball out as quickly as you'd like with so many OL injuries.Not sure how either of those plays related to injuries, but even so if they are getting slapped around due to injury then it would be wise to move the pocket, roll out the qb, or use screens/misdirection to slow down the pass rush.
I agree; we lost a close east coast road game to a team that has been either AFC champion or runner up AFC champion the last two seasons. The frustrating part is how close we were to winning it.I'm not overly concerned with anything, other than the fact that the team still is capable of getting punched in the mouth on offense from time to time.
