[Rock_the_Hawk]

Now this was a damn good prediction. Props

Toffee motivated me to take a interest in Seahawk football!

Im not going to pretend like i know exactly how the Seahawks are going to turn their Defense around, because i don't.

Maybe they are going to bring insome more new players like Irvin, maybe the players they have are turning the corner and becoming better. I just know that its going to happen because thats what the Seahawks coaching staff does.

There is to much talent on the field and to much talent on the coaching staff for it not to happen. There is no doubt in my mind its just a matter of how soon. Im seeing improvement on D its just happening slowly, but its happening.... hopefully Irvin will make an impression in the locker room. Some times thats all it takes is the right vet presence to ignite that D.

Be patient Men of Seattle good things are coming.

nice job OP

The run D was solid today. Against one of the top rushing offenses in the league.

Granted the Giants don't have great receivers, but today felt like it's already getting to the point where teams are going to the other side away from Woolen. I can only think of him getting challenged twice. A knockdown in the first half and then the play where Slayton had to make a great play to pull it away from him.

The biggest story here with the defense is Brooks, imo. He's played great the last few games, he seems more sure of himself. He's been making every tackle

noticed that too. everything was to jackson's side. they don't throw deep on him anymore

Man, this defense is a mess!

HMMMM as I said in previous threads, Patience Padawans.

PC teams always end up becoming good on D. Last year was the fault of the O putting them on the field for the entire game from 3 and outs.

This is a typical Pete D.

Not always, Pete has had several bad defenses since 2017. His assistant, Ken Norton Jr. I suspect played a large role in that.

our opponent was 6-1, had the best running game to date, and yet:

With the defense playing the way it is and the offense only really stopping itself... this team is right now, today, a contender. The best teams in the NFC are probably the cowboys and the eagles. I can see us going toe to toe with either of them and if it comes down to Home field advantage in the playoffs, us winning against either.

The Vikings are solid bit I'm not as impressed by them because they play a different brand of ball. We can intimidate them.

Rebuild my a$$.

Rebuild these.

 

[Rock_the_Hawk]

Im certainly not looking past the Niners as much as i really want too good football team hampared by injury.. also Atlanta seems to have some magic happening.

But the Seahawks have something really special happening they are no longer under the radar.

i still consider this a rebuild. with this early success and early returns makes it more exciting knowing we have lots of room to grow.

 

[chrispy]

Young team still growing but also prone to young team mistakes. It would be unreasonable (to me) to expect head-to-head wins over Vikings, Eagles, Cowboys, 9rs.... It's very cool to have confidence that it's possible and Seahawks can be in every game. But, I still think there's a measurable chance things go wrong. (I'm not disagreeing with above posts, just clarifying my perspective)

I'm much more comfortable saying I expect wins in those matchups next year.

 

[Chawker]

The defense play was outstanding.

Cheers

Wow...the OP was spot on, but the responses on Oct 14 sure did not age well. This is why I will seldom say what the team needs or start flaming players & coaches. I know what I don't know.
