Our secondary might catch a break if Matty Ice is out next week. Maybe Freeman might miss the game as well for getting tossed for punching Aaron Donald. Falcons are a dumpster fire so this is a must win.
A 4-3 base defense on a team not built to run a 4-3 base all the time. Sure it's nice to have Kendricks, KJ and Wags on the field together but KJ and Kendricks can't run with these TE's half the time.
We have plenty of DL talent that does not seem to be playing up to it. Maybe when the year is done we drop norton and bring quinn back.
our offense needs work too though, too many negative plays, too many plays where our run game is completely stuffed. Someone said draft all D, i am ok with that as long as we can get one top tier OL.
The offense giving up points is a recurring theme th.is year.
That said, this team isnt very good, relies too much on wilson to be elite.
Didn't our D only give up 16 points last night? The ST TDs and scores given up by our offense (pick 6, fumble-6, etc) count as "points allowed" but doesn't really reflect on our D. I think they played pretty well yesterday, all things considered. You knew Lamar Jackson was going to make plays with this legs here and there, but I didn't think their offense really hurt us that bad. It was our own mistakes, mostly on offense, where Balt made hay.This is ultimately the result when they decide to sacrifice the LOB for RW. The Defense is bad this year, statistically ranked near the bottom.
What I also don't agree with is the game plan coming int, I understand RW is an MVP candidate but he should've never thrown more than 30 attempts entering the 4th quarter down 13-20. The identity of this team is to run the ball and it should be that given the conditions.
As I said previously, Baltimore played a game we're used to seeing from the Seahawks and it's why they won. I don't agree with your statement in saying this team is bad though, just chalk this up as ONE bad performance.

+5 more starters or 2nd stringers at 26 years old.
This team is YOUNG! and would easily be one of the youngest starting groups if not for a few Older main stay ALL PRO's on both the offense and defense. Still as it is the Hawks are the 4th youngest team in the NFL and the teams younger than them are the Dolphins, Bucs, and the Browns. Something all those teams have in common is none of them are even close to a winning record. 0-6, 2-4 and 2-4 yet here the Hawks are at 5-2.
Growth, this team will need to grow and a lot. Yes they are 5-2 but i think we can all agree they could very easily also be 2-5 or even 1-6. I am excited to watch this team mature, if they can be this bad and still be 5-2 i am excited to see how good they can be when they mature and grow!

The last 2 home games without the turnovers were easily winnable games. Really disappointed by that from playing at home.We should win games if we are only giving up 16 points. However, we got killed by those turn overs.
Not trolling you guys on your board, but just pointing out that the average age of the Rams, Niners, and Seahawks is nearly identical. So if the argument is "this team is young".... and will get better... so will 9ers and Rams.

I think the bright side is that the Ravens and Saints are both great teams with a lot of talent. I do agree that there is a strong possibility that the Seahawks win both of those games without those crucial mistakes.
Also I never want to face Kamara again. I can't recall the last time I saw a HB break as many tackles against us as he did.
The common thread among these 2 games is they have a great running game. Kamara as you eluded to and Jackson. This is why I’m not as confident when they have to face SF with their crazy running game. Have to 100% eliminate the turnovers.
