Thoughts from around the league

[James in PA]

Raheem is still not head coach material.

Someone test TJ Watt for PEDs already.

Kirk Cousins is still overrated AF.

With the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the New York Giants select....

And more Stealer fans in ATL than Falcons fans.

What a shitty sports town.

 

[Scout]

The Falcons may recover and become a competitive team down the stretch. But the experts were picking them to be dominating the NFC which I do not see.

 

[Ozzy]

Penix might be starting sooner rather then later.

 

[Glasgow Seahawk]

Bryce Young is a huge bust

Deshaun Watson's trade and extension are the worst in league history

 

[Glasgow Seahawk]

Rams look beatable so far. Nacua just got hurt

 

[Glasgow Seahawk]

Take it back Tyler Johnson looks good and are coming back

 

[Rat]

Bryce Young is a huge bust

Deshaun Watson's trade and extension are the worst in league history

We absolutely fleeced the Broncos beyond belief - like Herschel Walker trade bad - and it's almost definitely not even the most one-sided trade of the past three years.

I can think of one trade and extension that equals this....

 

[Chapow]

Cooper Kupp looks like prime Cooper Kupp again.

Defenses are ahead of the offenses right now

Kansas City and Detroit are well rounded complete teams

Anthony Richardson and CJ stroud are both very talented

New kick off rule is going to have more returns

Early front runners for sneaky “better than we thought “ teams include Minnesota , the Jaguars, New England , and Arizona

Wasn't Watson's fully guaranteed though?

 

[Cyrus12]

Wasn't Watson's fully guaranteed though?

The other guy guaranteed numerous super bowls....

 

[BirdsCommaAngry]

I'd still say Watson trade was worse if only because he's dragging a better team down with him.

I disagree on Minny. The Giants are trash.

Deshaun Watson's trade and extension are the worst in league hihistory

From a footballing point of view RW3s must be competing with that.

The decision to trade for and extend Watson was only worse because of what he had done off the field.

My overview of the league as a whole yesterday is that our Seahawks are in for a dogfight every week.

 

[James in PA]

It's only 1 game, but I am so glad we didn't go for the "comfortable, familiar" hire in Dan Quinn. You know, the guy that the entire national media had penciled in for us to be the next HC. It would have been Pete 2.0. Here's a snippet i found on their game yesterday. Tell me this doesn't sound like a Pete defense.

"But most concerning of all, the biggest bugaboo from 2023 - their wretched third down defense - has yet to be corrected.

The Commanders' defense made a lot of big plays but consistently failed when it mattered most. And the results showed it.

They surrendered 37 points to an offense that averaged 20 last year. In 2023, the Buccaneers averaged 313 total yards per game. They racked up almost 400 in Week 1. Until a few kneeldowns at the end, Tampa Bay averaged 6.7 yards-per-play. Last year, they averaged 5.1.

All in all, it was a dismal defensive day."

Parkinson is going to lead all TE’s in receiving yards this year. Wish we kept him.

The decision to trade for and extend Watson was only worse because of what he had done off the field.

With Russ though he was at least good in Seattle for a long time and went to 2 super bowls. Watson had the off field stuff, a big injury and they cut Baker Mayfield who has been pretty decent at his last 2 teams now and I don't think was that bad at the Browns.
