Captain obvious says this is not looking too good.

They were down 14-0 to the skins last week and it took a quarter or so to get the offense rolling. Lots of game left.

With a qb like Wilson, not using him on third or fourth was questionable.

A bootleg is more effective than a fullback dive.

Wow, ballsy call by Carroll there didn't pay off. Seems to early in the game to be chasing points. Just take the three and move on.

What was more pathetic? The play calling or the Georgia Dome PA playing "Whoomp There It Is" after the stop?

Matt Ryan does not have an effortless deep-ball delivery, and it's awkward to watch, but I guess you can't argue with the results.

Game over. Maybe not eleco over, but over.

Lol. It's cracking me up that this has become a thing. Also, sorry 'Hawks fans, but...

motherfuck, these guys are being taken to the woodshed.
everything that can go wrong, has gone wrong.

2 chances to get 1 yard, and they DON'T give it to the Beast?
three plays later it's 7 more the other way. defense is gassed already.

the only positive from the half is that Wilson has had pretty good protection when he has needed it.

Atlanta is giving them all day to pass, instead half of the play calls are runs up the middle. The playcalling has been less than stellar. If you're going to run, use the edges against Atl.

WOW!!

Sack negates even the field goal. Huge momentum blow to the Seahawks there.

Horrible playcalling and clock management led to that debacle.

I just don't get how coaches get paid 6 and 7 figures and show us incompetence like this. I wouldn't trust them to tie their own shoes correctly at this point.

Bevell is a fucking idiot. You won't find many Seahawks fans who will say different.

Disappointing to see the first half of the season Seahawks show up for this one. Just completely unprepared.

Me either. Coaches are HORRIBLE at using their timeouts in the waning seconds of a half. They had one play up the middle there why it took almost 25 seconds to get the next play off. Why not use the timeout there? And mabye on another play you're able to get out of bounds. OR it leaves more time on the clock to use the middle again. Just makes no sense.

I've often thought of starting a company that just helps teams make clock/challenge decisions. Coaches do a poor job. They are not math majors.

You could hire a fucking college intern and pay him in beer after the game and he would be able to manage the clock and challenges better than some of these coaches.

It's just frustrating to watch as a neutral fan. This is why I don't have an NFL team to root for - I'd lose too much sleep over it.
