Turnovers are the only reason the Cards are in this game... Sucks...

And given how bad their offense has been, putting the ball at the 7 or 9 would have given them an excellent chance to hold them to a FG.

Still, Wilson again blew it and we have no one else to blame for giving them yet another free 7 points. That's 14 points given to them directly by Wilson.

He needs to do some serious work in the off season.

Yah he seems to REFUSE to throw it away or just holds on too long... he's clearly not as mobile as he was and a lot of sacks/turnovers he's given up by just not accepting the play is blown or throwing it to a checkdown target. His pocket and general blitz awareness was never THAT great. He had a great arm, great leadership, and good overall elusiveness to extend plays, but now that some of the athleticism is starting to fade.

Someone here said it best, he needs a good QB coach in the offseason. Someone to work with him. I feel like Wilson makes it WAY too hard on himself. Take the easy stuff... because his leadership and work ethic is so high I have no doubt he'll learn it and apply it.... but it's certainly not coming from the current staff.

Hawks have to force at least 2 TO to win this game.

I mean it's pretty tough to win a game when you allow 2 differential TO ratio when basically both turnovers you gave up resulted in defensive touchdowns (I know it shouldn't have been spotted at that one, but it was.... even then the 9 yard line basically guarantees a field goal).

AJ Green isn't what he use to be, that is for sure...

Need Cody Barton's brain/football IQ in Brooks' body.

I don't like the call, but had Metcalf's left foot landed 4 inches to the right, it would've been a big play for us.
Speaking of that, how many balls like that has Metcalf caught in tight coverage? Seems like he doesn't make those plays unless he has a 2 yard gap between him and the defender...

tired of 3rd down chuck it offense. There is a reason our 3rd down conversions have been so bad for most of the season.

He cant break tackles

Which is why he leads the team in that category and breaks tackles at a rate that would put him in the top 10 in the NFL.

He's not the route runner, body control, or footwork player Lockett is... he may never be. That's what kept him from being a top 5 overall pick. I would love to see Seattle use him in more crossing/slant/PHSYICAL routes. He's not a Randy Moss (who bar none had the best hands, body control, and route running on deep passes in NFL history).

He's still a guy you chuck it to because the size/athleticism is that fucking insane.... but it's not always going to work out. It looks like Seattle is trying to force him some balls the last few drives to get him to 1,000 if I'm going to be honest... not sure I've understood the last couple throws his way or why Wilson/Seattle tries to throw SO TIGHTLY to the sideline.
