Game Thread: Week 5- Seahawks vs. NY Giants

[Dr. Strangelove]

So Giants in town looks like without their rookie Nabors in the line-up. Good match-up for the Hawks to get right and handle their business. Looks like a lot of our guys on defense will be back in the line-up. Baker, Mafe, Williams and maybe Nwosu all back. Murphy a no go with the hamstring which is okay. Coach Mac adamant in his press conference yesterday that there was an emphasis on concentrating on this game and no thought of looking ahead to the Niners. Also, the Lions game in the rearview mirror. Hopefully everybody got the message and the boys go out and dominate for 60 minutes. I expect a big game from Geno and DK because frankly, the Giants secondary has no answer. Giants front is really good though so the Oline needs to be at least competent. Looking for the run game to help keep Geno clean as well. Absolutely no need to have Geno dropping back 40-50 times like he's been asked to do.
The Giants Oline has been better than it was last year and kept Jones semi-clean for the most part but with the horses coming back, I expect that to change a bit. Giants have a non-existent run game which plays into our hands. I'm expecting a 28-13 type of drubbing and hopefully come out of it healthy. When it's over , then look toward the Niners on Thursday. Kinda rooting for the Cardinals to upset the Niners today as well.
Happy sunday, fellas.

Agreed! Geno shouldn't be passing 40 times a game, not with the RB room we got. I want to see the Defense limit explosive plays, they were gashed for a ton of them against the Lions. Tackling has to be cleaner also. I would like to see Geno Get some TD passes with 0 INT's seeing is he is on a pace for only 17 TD passes and 17 INT's on the season.

I want to see Lockett more involved early on and a constaint feeding of JSN. Would love to see the Hawks split #1 carries between Walker and Charbs and get McIntosh out there for passing downs. Kenny McIntosh deserves more touches.

Well basically everyone should be healthy with exception of Murphy... not sure the extent of his injury. I would give Hall the majority of snaps at EDGE and ease Nwosu/Mafe back... don't give them super high snap counts. That said, I think both will be near 100%. Was great to see Hall/Love full participation in practice (as opposed to limited). With Williams back that's also a positive.

Giants have a DECENT front 4 (kind of 2 good players and 2 whatever ones). Burns will be a handful for Forsythe but Cross should completely shut down Thibs. Lawrence could be a bit of a problem as well.

That said, I really expect the Giants to score < 10 points because without Nabers their offense has absolutely nothing. I know PFF isn't the bible but the Giants statistically are not a good offense even with Nabers. I mean please tell me if there's ANY player in that below lineup that worries you (inc. the OL). It's bad. Seattle needs to a) not commit dumb turnovers (stares at DK) and b) clean up the penalties. We're top 10 in penalties. I hate to look ahead but Seattle has absolutely ZERO business losing this game. If it comes down to a FG at the end or OT - even if we win, that's HIGHLY concerning.

Hanging outside the stadium At Elysium Brewing. Beautiful day!

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Gettin' Metcalf involved early.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Fuckin' Bradford starting again... *sigh*

 

[WizardHawk]

Penalties. F'n penalties

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Penalties. F'n penalties

Said it above, top 10 in the league on penalties.... gotta get more disciplined.

 

[WizardHawk]

lol at the first play from scrimmage for the G-men

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Geez they allow a first down?

 

[Screamin12th]

what is it with 3rd and long the past 10 years!

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

lol at the first play from scrimmage for the G-men

lol no problem... 3rd and long conversion... Thought we were done with this. ON A SCREEN, OF COURSE! Is Pete Carroll an advisor? That was eerily reminiscent of the last 5+ years.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Giants now moving down field with ease.

 

[WizardHawk]

So we had guys come back on the D and somehow look worse than the backups.

Neat.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

WHAT THE FUCK IS IT WITH SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENS!?!?!?!? ARE WE THE ONLY TEAM IN THE NFL THAT JUST ALLOWS IT THAT EASILY?

Jesus, we handle the screen like a fat kid with an all you can eat pass in a candy store.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Absolutely ZERO star players on this offense... ZERO, and they move right down the field.... this better be the only instance of this, this game...

 

[kcden]

They gave him almost a full extra yard on that spot

 

[blstoker]

Looked like a generous spot.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

They gave him almost a full extra yard on that spot

Yah that was nowhere NEAR a first down lmao.

 

[WizardHawk]

No pass rush. No run stopping. No second level cleanup.

Other than that
