Seattle is just about out of the playoffs

[geezer]

I hate watching a team that is beginning to suck and has great players. They have been great and entertaining since year three of Pete's reign. Thank you for the Superbowl. But now they all got paid and they just don't appear to work as hard. There is no excuse for these "communication" problems.

It is more exciting to watch an up and coming team than a team on top and sliding back. It will never happen but they could trade a bunch of these guys and line up first round picks for the next several years. Start with the over paid, over rated defense. I would rather watch the team trade everybody and start over from the ground up than watch this bunch of girls lose and complain about how much they think they are worth.

And then we would see just how good Pete and John really are at assembling talent. Some of you think this team is good to go for several years. But what good are guys in their prime who are not playing up to their potential? I would not be surprised if they lose to SF on Thursday night. I have been stockpiling paper bags for this moment. Let me know if you need some.

Seattle is done. Really a pretty sad story but just is what it is.

Typically, a team like this just stinks the place up for a season or two before they find their groove again and become a challenger again. I just like to complain and unfortunately, this season there is plenty to complain about.

Not yet their not. Only two games back of Cards and they play them twice.

Silver lining:

The bandwagoners will be gone soon.

This shit reminds me way too much of the old consistent 8-8 Hawks teams . Frustrating as fuck to watch .

One thing I noticed was Seattle seemed to never blitz and do only a 3 man rush. You can't give the qb's of today any time to throw, cause they will always find an open man. I'm starting to think Kris Richards is the weak link on this team.

Amen, except they won't leave. They'll stick around and pooh pooh everything.

I have been on this bandwagon since 1980. It has been fun and painful to watch. The last few years have been great. This season is shit! Sit the veterans and let all the young guys play and hopefully next season they play better.

We're really not done but our play definitely doesn't give me any hope... We're only 2 games back of the Cards and we still have 2 games w/ them, the 49ers and 1 with the Rams... I don't think we'll have a shot at a WC, which is why we'll need to win our divisional games...

Zona has lost 2 of their last 3 as well...

It reminds me of that season when we had Michael Boulware playing safety...

This division is up for grabs, except for San Fran.

Man, a chance to be one out, instead, shit the bed again...harkens back to an inability to hold a 4th Qtr lead since the super bowl. Without the refs, you'd be 1-5!

Wilson was a witch when out of the pocket, but when contained, 3 and out. Don't know why they didn't give Lou Rawls more than one carry...

Good to see Graham bust out, but still didn't win.

wilson runs scared in the pocket because he knows in half a second he will have 3 DL on him.

its time to wake up and realize this team is finished for the year. looking ahead to which OL we will not take with out first pick.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Actually were only 2 back in the division and we play that team 2 times... so were not dead yet... But right now were not a championship caliber team... Making the playoffs might be a moot point with the way our defense is just melting away ...

Funny, I thought the same thing as I went to Costco after the game. I noticed the lack of Seahawks flags and people dressed head to toe in Seahawks gear.

BS... There were quite a few times he had plenty of time but he held onto the ball and took a sack... Stop making excuses for RW...

 

[HawkDawg]

Hardly just about out of the playoffs. If this team was getting blown out in these losses, I'd agree. Instead they are emotionally crushing defeats which only makes it more painful than normal.

Hawks need to find their fire and hunger, I don't feel or see any at the moment.

I don't agree with this (or at least don't agree with part of it... Cam certainly did have plenty of time)... I missed about half of the game because I was traveling and watching on my phone, but I saw them blitz quite a few times... and then get no pressure on Newton with 6 pass-rushers. That is pretty problematic and would be a big reason why our zone coverage is struggling in key moments.

It's tough to win when you give up 8 sacks a game and are constantly in 3rd and long. As for the D, the league has figured something out, now it's time for the coaches to fix it.
