The moment we lost this game!

[tacomahawk]

Wow I saw a lot of good things today. We were missing our starting TE, LT,C,RT and still put 28 points on the board against a very good football team. I am sorry we lost, but we started fast, our offense was clicking, defense had a few struggles, but Luck is a great QB. I am satisfied, and really don't feel a lot of remorse over this loss.

We lost when we got the strip and could only get a FG.

I agree about Johnson diving on the ball like a jackass. All he had to do was trap it on the ground or pick it up. He and Maragos were the only players close to the ball. Could have been a huge momentum changing play. I too had the thought that that play could lead to a loss.

It was probably the Read-option play that went for a 1 yard loss in the 4th quarter (5ish minutes?). They convert that 3rd down, and the Colts likely don't get the ball back.

The Richardson first down with 4 to go after he should've been dropped for a loss also really hosed us.

It was the awesome coaching Luck got at Stanford.

 

[BobinLaConner]

well we had some great energy in that first quarter but after that we left some points out on the field. But here is what I figured the biggest turning points were...

#1 Jerrone Johnson gets the block in the endzone and slides out...chalk it up to adrenaline for him to not slow up a bit and slide out of bounds, but I think we got a bad call not being a touchdown

#2 Long bomb by Luck to a receiver for touchdown ... we should not let that happen PERIOD. They had about 4 yds of offense at that point, gave them a spark for sure.

#3 Field Goal Blocked... McQuisten or just the stand-ins for the Oline not having the experience, but a costly lapse for sure

#4 Ball bounces off Marshawn's chest... I have no idea, but means the ball goes back to the colts SMH

#5 All the 3rd downs that didn't get converted and some that ended up as FGs instead of TDs... Oline Protection or blocking, maybe? Receivers need to step up or a combination of both

#6 Defense on Reggie and Ty... not sure if you can blame Thurmond or what, but we missed on the defense game plan

#7 some really horrible PI calls and other bad calls... blame it on the pink flags I guess

But all these considered, the momentum shifts if you can't move it on offense and you can stop their receivers from getting first downs. Luck and company played a good game after coming back from the initial deficit, we didn't.

We need a healthy Oline back, our TE back and to re-evaluate how our passing game can be improved. Bruce looked good out there, maybe Percy will make a huge difference when he comes in.

Still believing... GO Hawks

I think it was over when we gave up an offsides and PI penalty on 3rd and 22 from inside the Colts' 15. We never recovered

100 percent agree.

No excuse for this. How do you allow the cadence to get to you on 3rd and 22. I truly believe this was the point when we lost the game

I thought the turning point was when Lynch dropped that pass but the PI was the nail. The kick block didn't help.

Was after the punt block. First of all, that should of been a touchdown if not for the stupidity and lack of awareness of Jerron Johnson. Not only that, but He along with P.Carrol ignorantly laughing and raising the arms in a touchdown gesture before even the challenge ruling comes in. I called a loss right there and then.

What we need is some humility! Enough of the bs best secondary, defense, best this, best that, nickname for this and that! Oposing fans are right. We need to achieve something before celebrating!

And out of topic, why the hell are we paying Sydny Rice like 7-8Million dollars for a catch a game. He is completely horrible this year. I'd rather have Kearse take his starting spot. I am sure he can manage more than one or two catches a game.

I'm going to say Jimmy Johnson picking us at halftime was a more significant turning point. Johnson's move wasn't brilliant, by a long shot, but the kid was excited to make a play. Sh*t happens. His lack of composure didn't seal our doom.

Our D got tired and Luck is exactly as advertised, same with RW. Great game that didn't conclude the way we hoped it would. A couple bad calls but that is the norm. We will be stronger for this. Go Texans.

You called a loss right after we went up 12-0 and were clearly dominating the game? I know you're mad, but... no. Did you call a loss in Jacksonville after they picked Wilson off at the five?

I am mad, but I called it right then with confidence with my wife and child watching along. Egoistic and ignorant people get nowhere and with P.Carrol acting like that, I knew this is will not go down good for us.

It's egotistical to be happy when you believe your player scored a TD? Johnson was down in bounds with the ball.

 

[Axx]

we are 2-1 ON THE ROAD

Just 3 more road wins to clinch #1 seed

Richard had his head turned, talking to the safety when the ball was snapped. TY Hilton, a gazelle, had a free release and caught a seventy yard touchdown without being touched once on the play.
Luck threw that ball under duress. If Hilton was properly bumped, Luck may have had to move from the "spot" before throwing.

The only way Seattle can get away with oversized corners is to make physical contact at least once with a given receiver. Especially the speed demons.

Seattle dominated the game until that point.
