You guys are so negative

[Maelstrom787]

Because fans care and are passionate. Those are the fans that are not casuals who only see sunshine and rainbows. The passionate ones want the team to be as great as possible and pointing out large issues on the team is fine because the sloppiness of the O-Line will not fly against better teams. Being overly negative I understand your point but being critical of a huge weakness is fine. Are we not supposed to be upset that the Mariners have a once in a lifetime pitching rotation but a high school lineup?

The eeyores on this forum are just as misguided and ill-informed as the "sunshine and rainbows" types.

I feel like the only thing keeping us from being a super bowl competitive team is our o-line. We have all the talent in the world on offense and defense minus our o-line being dumb and bad. If we can fix that, sky is the limit.

The Seahawks O-Line is like the Mariners lineup. A world series rotation but something holding them back.

So far every single time I post something negative during the game they do the opposite. So I’m going with that until one of my posts comes true. 3 for 3 so far. Right after. I posted that Zach is the 3 yard man he averaged 10.

Dude...defense isn't the team.

It's a team game. We won as a team.

Seriously don't know how you can watch our offensive line and be positive about them?

They are 3-0 which is freaking brilliant. HOWEVER, we have not played anyone of note yet and the offensive line struggles are going to hold this team back from contending in January unless we figure it out. Absolutely reasonable for fans to be frustrated with the horrendous play of the line while being positive about the steller play (for the most part) of the defence, which will keep us in many games going forward.

So if the D is doing well, cosntructive criticism of our O makes you too negative. Got it.

I'm just happy we have people like the OP telling me the correct way to be a fan.

Knee jerk reactions are the problem. We just won by three touchdowns.

Here comes the performative outrage. You've done it now, @Fox0r

 

[Fox0r]

We also are missing players on the offensive line to injury. Weird how people forget that.

 

[Maelstrom787]

Criticism of the offensive line is warranted. The dramatics about how everything else is terrible during an easy win is... well, a bit dramatic.

There's pointed criticism of a positional unit, and then there's "oh man, Geno sucks, we can't convert third downs, the offense is vanilla, we can't defend backup quarterbacks, Charbonnet is too slow, rabble rabble rabble" that stems from that with no real logic behind it. I see the latter as fair game to refer to as general candyassery.

And our O was stalled for a bunch of series. We can't be critical for fear we may win the game or the coaches may find a way to scheme. I am positiive MM is gonna be critical of both the O & D, regardless of the win or score. I didn't read every post...but I didn't see anything that bad today.

The line is shit and needs help.

The sky isn't falling. We just won by 21 points.

Go read my posts since preseason...I haven't forgotten anything. Bradford is an issue../just b/c he's a backup does not exclude critical feedback.

 

[Fox0r]

Criticism is fair. Expecting all-pro play from backups is not.

Where do you see me saying the sky is falling? WTF???? This is why our fanbase is seen as think skinned (fill in the blank).

Textural comms can be challenging, but your reading in something that just aint there.

 

[Cyrus12]

Game was boring but still a win.

 

[CallMeADawg]

Who is getting this "feedback"? Are you writing them a letter?

 

[LeveeBreak]

Care to cite where that expectation was communicated?

Nah. I'm good.
