Game Thread: Week 7: Bird Fight - Seahawks @ Falcons 10:00 pst/1:00 est - Fox

Shinault has been a HUGE bright spot for us on special teams.

 

[Anointed One]

Tackling in space has been bad... Witherspoon getting juked, again...

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

LIKE WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED THERE? Robinson is wide open, then both Dodson and Baker basically run the fuck into each other... Witherspoon whiffs... WTF!?

 

[Anointed One]

Is it me or is Witherspoon nothing more than avg this season?

 

[uwdawgfan]

Someone tell Witherspoon this isn't touch football....

 

[Anointed One]

Can we dial up a blitz, once? Kirk has all day to throw the ball...

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

WHY!? WHY ARE YOU BACKING UP WHEN THE RB IS WIDE OPEN IN THE FLAT FIVE YARDS AFTER THE LOS. WHY DO YOU KEEP BACKING UP!? WTF... it's like we're playing man but not. It's clearly the guy you're supposed to guard... but you keep backing up and then let him run up the field 5 yards, get the pass, then get another 5 yards... I swear this is driving me nuts.

Even Jimmy Johnson saying if Seattle wants to be a playoff team they need to run (at least if K9 is healthy)... I don't know why Grubb can't see it or why Grubb can't incorporate playactions into his offense. I mean I get the last drive... you had a minute, but the rest of the game?

Well, the rest of the game was something like 12 runs to 16 passes, so he's really been much more balanced.

That stat line is a bit misleading...

We've had 18 drop backs to 9 rush attempts... 3 of Geno's runs were initially pass attempts and he took one sack which was a pass attempt... Technically 19 drop backs if you consider the IG called on Geno...

 

[Destroydacre]

The pursuit and tackling on defense is just horrid.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Finally we get a stop thanks to Murphy... and then let's take him off the field lol.

 

[Destroydacre]

Drive was waaaaay too easy.

 

[Anointed One]

Ugh... TD London!

Another easy drive...

 

[Screamin12th]

I dont understand the 6 yard cushion on 4th and 1 yard. get in their face! They been doing it for weeks now, big 6+ yard cushions on 2nd, 3rd and 3 or less. WTF!

 

[blstoker]

This soft coverage is just giving the Falcons points.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Go for it... easy peasy.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Good job, allow half the quarter by playing soft ass zone and whiffing several times on tackles... and TOP now lost... and Grubb will see only a 3 point lead (could be tied) and now throw the ball 90% the rest of the game. Cousins 16/19... has basically completed every pass. And one of his passes should've gone for a TD he just overthrew it a bit...

 

[WizardHawk]

No idea what Macdonald is trying to do in this game.

 

[Anointed One]

This soft coverage is just giving the Falcons points.

Especially that 3rd and 1 in the 2nd quarter... We were 5 yards off on London at the LOS and it was any easy slant for the 1st down...

 

[WizardHawk]

Prevent defense full time is a bad strategy
