That's called RESPECT, if that respect becomes modus operandi for all teams, then it's called a lockdown cornernoticed that too. everything was to jackson's side. they don't throw deep on him anymore

Noooo you cant say that the people on this site have spoken.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.
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.
I'm not trying to be a downer. I just saw too many mistakes today (in my opinion) to consistently beat playoff teams. I hope I'm wrong, but I think '23 is the next (of multiple) deep playoff run(s) I'll be very happy to be wrong. I'm not trying to convince anyone. Cheers to you for believing while I'm stuck with my depressing cynicism.We just beat the 6-1 Giants by two touchdowns
Why couldnt we go head to head with other 6-1 type teams?
And why are you throwing the 9ers in that grouping? Werent they under .500 a few hours ago?
There were some mistakes today but the positive thing is the team is good enough to over come them. There were way more positive things than mistakes. This team is not there yet theycwill get better as the season goes on its only week 8. The D has just turned and the O is flashing all over the place but they are NOT playing insync yet. A few more weeks the good thing is they improve every game and one of the things they improved on was only 2 penelty's ( what? one on Pete? Really? Lol)I'm not trying to be a downer.

When a team with multiple rookie starters, and a QB that hasn't started for years, there will be a learning curve and pain that came with it. Multiple mistakes are expected and making those mistakes now is very helpful to team growth. I may be one of the optimists on .net, because from where I sit, we can challenge all established teams and give them a run for their record.I'm not trying to be a downer.

I hope you gain 20 pounds this season.When a team with multiple rookie starters, and a QB that hasn't started for years, there will be a learning curve and pain that came with it.

Hey I advocated the trade of Russ, since 2020, I was one of the first, if not the first to talk up Geno Smith, I couldn't be happier with what's going on. I promised myself a good meal after each win, and I have been feasting.
My football life is very good, thanks for Pete and Geno.
Go Hawks.
No worries, just win baby, it's so worth it.I hope you gain 20 pounds this season.

Who is this?
You watching the rest of the league? In comparison to most NFC teams, Seattle is playing very clean and solid football. Eagles look pretty good as well, and the Niners have their days but are inconsistent as well.I'm not trying to be a downer.

In a bit of positive news, safety Ryan Neal's apparent fourth-quarter injury turned out only to be cramps in both hamstrings.Defense is playing very well now. Whatever they did to turn it around...thanks for that.
On side note - Any info about Ryan Neal's injury in yesterday's game. It sure didn't look good that he was unable to put any weight on his leg.
