After the game I thought the team was just bad and wondered what the fuck happened. Listening to and reading a good number of analyst report and articles and reviewing the game I still feel this is a good team that is not executing well. It seems to be a trend across the NFL. Seattle picked by most to actually win the Superbowl are0-2. The Colts expected to do deep in the playoffs have been bad. Think Bradford has been playing bad……watch Luck….he is having issues too.
Chip Kelly: CK Is a fanatic when it comes to preparation. I am sure he is going over all phases of the game and letting people know what needs to be done. The problem is that no one is executing. For the most part the entire offense is completely new and still learning the offense. The brilliant performances in the preseason lets me know that this team can be very good. Even great but the pieces have to come together. People are saying that people have figured him out. Who in the NFL has not figured out their opponents? With all the film out there it is easy to game plan. The key is executing and calling the right plays at the right time. For us it seems on every play there was one person who had a key assignment and he screwed it up. No one on the offense has looked good. I am sure he will get it fixed. I am not off his bandwagon yet.
Billy Davis: I am definitely off of his bandwagon. He is brutal. He makes horrible calls at crucial times during the game. I know of a couple key third downs where he had Barwin drop back in coverage and left that entire side of the field open for an easy QB scramble. What moron drops one of the best pass rushers in the game in coverage on third down? The TD given up at the end? I am not sure that was all Maxwell’s fault. First he was 10 yards deep and I believe that was a designed call. Second did anyone see the confused look on his face when it happened? It was like he expected someone to be in coverage in that area. Earlier in the game when Maxwell jammed him at the line Williams could not get anything going. Then all of a sudden Maxwell is playing off. That is not on him. That is the bad defensive play call. Davis is getting bailed out by the talent he has on the front 7.
Offensive Line: The offensive line has been brutal in run blocking. I think this is because of missed assignments and not because of their inability to block. Everyone has been missing their assignments. That is something CK needs to fix but I think that it can be corrected. The pass blocking has been very good. Bradford has had plenty of nice sustained pockets. He just has not had anyone to throw to because no one is getting open.
Wide Receivers: They are not getting open, dropping passes and running wrong routes. They are making too many mistakes that should never happen. The drops are just brutal. They are not always on the same page with Bradford but that improves with experience in the system.
Sam Bradford: I think he is going to be very good once he gets the entire offense down. This is a new system and he does not show much panic. We have to remember that he has not played in 2 years and is in a new system that he is still learning. He has not had much to work with either. The running game has been bad because of the blocking. Teams are sitting back in coverage because they are able to stop our run with a normal rush. He is a very, very accurate QB and he showed that in the preseason and in both of these games. The INT in the end zone was brutal. It was a very tight throw when I looked at the replay. Just a little more lead and we have the perfect through instead of the brutal INT. A game of inches they say. It was a throw he should have pulled back though and not attempted. Bradford has made some bad throws. All QB’s do but he has also been plagued with bad drops at critical times. I think he too will come around.
Byron Maxwell: I am not convinced his issues are because he is bad. I think Davis does not know how to call a defense that uses him properly. Maxwell was targeted a lot while in Seattle because of Sherman on the other side. He can play the position. Seattle does not use any complex schemes. They use basic defenses that rely on personnel and Maxwell was a good part of that. Also, what has the offense done to help the defense out let alone Maxwell? There comes a point where we have to remember that he is human and by the end of the game he was probably wiped out.
As bad as this team has been at times we had the opportunities to actually win both games this year.
