Sunday Night Football: SNF: ARIZONA vs. SEATTLE

[Manster7588]

That's not even remotely true. Seattle's offense completely peeing down its collective leg the entire game is the only reason AZ wasn't shutout. Seattle D was on the field twice as long as AZ and gave up the same number of points

No, its true but the Seattle OT's did Seattle no favors.

Its official Seattle luckiest team ever. Back to back weeks refs dont call penalties on them. Seattle should have 2 more L's. Oh well Karma will bite them later in the season.

Seattle may have been lucky yesterday but I don't think the refs had much to do with it. Seattle had 10 penalties for 90 yards compared to only 6 penalties for 45 yards for Arizona.

So how do you judge which Defense played better?

On one hand the Cards only allowed Seattle 257 yards and 11 first downs including OT, and only 6 points.

On the other hand Seattle's Defense was on the field for 46 minutes and 21 seconds, had a blocked FG and blocked punt, allowed Arizona inside their 28 yard line 6 times and only gave up 6 points.

6-6 tie. Crazy.

Gawd, what an awful game. The only purpose it served was to illustrate how overrated the defenses in the NFC West are. The impressive defensive stats those teams accumulate are tainted by the fact that they all play games against the shittiest offenses in football.

Agree, it's almost like he claimed the SB trophy before week one of the NFL Season.

I was waiting for that one. Didn't take long.

Because the AZ defense dominated.

The inaccurate blow-hard post of the day. That was a great defensive game.

Because special teams isn't defense. The Cards offense and defense dominated. The Seattle special teams dominated. There are 3 phases to the game and clearly AZ needs to get better at one of them.

Don't use facts here, use FEEEEEELINGS!

No argument there, but IMO, the skill and execution level of what AZ put on the field on offense was orders of magnitude greater than what Seattle ran out there. That is why I think Seattle played the better defensive game.

SNF was shitty/boring and then some last night. I hope MNF is worth watching tonight.

Bruce Arians had choice words about controversial block, missed chip-shot FG

Lets hope it is.

Come on. You are normally smarter than that.

Seattle hasn't looked good on offense all year. They have had a couple of series here and there, just like in the OT, but that line has just sucked ass in every game. You cannot possibly have watched that game and not seen how bad that offense was.

It takes both bad offense and good defense to suck that badly. It's not possible to have that much difficulty and give 100% of it to one or the other. That's just a plain old fact. Given the rest of the season though, you give more than 51% of the blame to that offense vs anything the defense was doing. They just suck this year.

Lynch is gone. Rawls is hurt. Michael isn't a feature back and yet that's all they have right now. Wilson is hobbled and not doing what Wilson is known for. And both tackles on that line are junk. If they don't go get a trade and bring a real tackle in there is no chance they win any playoff games and might be lucky to even reach the playoffs.

I disagree. The Seattle special teams was dominant. Don't get me wrong, the defense played tough, but the special teams killed AZ.

The blocked FG resulting in no points for AZ
The blocked punt resulting in Seattles only points in regulation. They went backwards after having it on the 20.

If not for Seattles special teams, that game ends 6-0 AZ.

AZ left a lot out there with mistakes as well.

-Arians going for on 4th down on the 20. In a defensive game like that you take the points.
-Floyd dropping another ball on third down in overtime which would have made it first down on the 14. (That ball hit him right between the numbers.)
-Not challenging the Johnson run in OT which looked like it could have been a TD.
-The obvious missed 18 yard field goal which was a wash considering Seattle did basically the same thing.

AZ dominated and Seattle did what they do... make every game interesting.
