Game Thread: Seattle Seahawks @ Indianapolis Colts

This game is starting nicely.

Big run to start the game!!!

Nice field position. Happy to see Michael Bennett back already, I think so far he has been one of our biggest additions, dude gets pressure inside and outside. I think he may be the most underrated player on our roster.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Great start so far.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Beast Mode. Again please.

Started quick and fiery.. llove it

Looks like he expected Baldwin to run across the field. Miscommunication there.

FG unit

Really not a fan of the draw play on 3rd down. Puts us in field goal range though.

That was a great run by Lynch on 3rd down... but not a big fan of the play there.

Can we please dump the read-option? It doesn't work when the QB never takes off with it and starting the best power running back in the league flat footed going sideways doesn't work. Typical Bevell. He'll go with something until it's painfully obvious that it's broken and then maybe switch things up. Can't wait until he's gone.

Conservative play calling to start the game again, ugh.

Putting the thought in there. If the Colts think that the Hawks are gonna run effectively on obvious passing plays, then they can't commit pass rushers even on really long distances.

I'm not a fan of Bevell but Russell Wilson made the right read there. The DE/OLB did not crash, therefore you hand the ball off. If Wilson would have kept the ball he would've ran right into a defender.

Bevell does not decide if Wilson keeps the ball or not, Wilson decides that.

Boy the Colts offense looking really bad so far. Cannot beat the best team in the NFC playing like that.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

OK, now for another good drive from the Seahawks.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Cringe whenever Tate touches the ball worrying he will fumble.

I'm talking about the play in general. I don't care what the read is, it doesn't work. It's a throw-away play at this point. And it was Wilson that suggested it against the Bears. Hopefully he suggests something else that actually works soon because Bevell obviously isn't going to figure it out.

Running game is ON today... this is not very good news for the Colts if the Hawks continue to run like this.

Colts run defense looking bad.
