Game Thread: Wk 8 Seattle Seahawks vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

It's nice to see the best pass blocking RB on this team get something.

Nice call.

Defense has given up 14.3 PPG the last 3 weeks. Thats a nice turn-a-round. If Wilson was around i have no doubts they would have went 3-0 in those games.

I agree, plus CC being out hurts.

So I tried my 80$ Chucky mask. It fit before washing perfectly.

After washing. I couldn't get it over my head.

So. Psycho clown....

Judge did you put the dryer on hot, again?

No...

Was it a latex mask? why would you put a rubber mask in the dryer? you turned it into a shrinky dink lol. Does it even fit over your fist now? lol Maybe your cat/small dog can wear it?

Defense played a hell of a game but they were not playing a very good team. Still they held the Jags to their lowest point total this season and this team ( Jags ) put up more points against the Broncos and Cards who are #4 and #3 in scoring defense respectively. This is a good sign no matter who it was against. Should move the Hawks Defense to like 13th or around there in scoring against. They were 26th just a few weeks ago.

Hey I saw a few of you hating on Homer, that just cold. I was happy after some of you talked shit and he shoved the crow down your throats. The only reason Homer doesn't play more is because his contract is up after the 2022 season and they see Dallas as his replacement. Players like him don't normally get a 2nd contract with the same team. But lets not kid ourselves about Homer because when he plays he plays well. He leads all RB's in receiving yards with 102, averaging a ridiculous 14.6 ypc for a RB and is averaging over 10 yards a carry in very limited playing time. Not to mention he is hands down the best blocking RB on this team. ( his 4.48 40 time showed up on the return ) only Penny is faster than Homer ( 4.46 ) for RB's. Little DJ Dallas Runs a 4.58 40, that's going to really limit him in my eyes because he isn't a big guy to pound people.

Defense has been slightly better the last few games. Maybe that's just worse teams? We're still relying on incompletions for getting off the field more than good tackles, pass break ups, and sacks, but it's something.

Add Russ, Carson, and Eskridge to the offense (and for the love of fucking god, throw to DK more!) and we might just have something to make some noise in the 2nd half of the season.

This is what stings because as we know come down the stretch every single win counts and those steelers and saints games we could have been 5-2 going into the bye week. As for the defense I remember last year they started terrible but began picking it up as the season progressed and ironically we lost in the playoffs because the offense couldnt move the ball.

Don't look now folks, but the Seahawks are now 11th in scoring defense at 21.1 ppg allowed. Just 0.1 ppg behind the Rams and 0.2 ppg behind GB at 9th.

Haven't been to active the last couple weeks -- first grandbaby entered the world (wow!!) and have been quite busy. Strange season, mostly disappointing of course but my current thoughts:

• Geno played reasonably well yesterday, but it's been rough for the most part. I think these past few weeks are a good reminder of how valuable an elite QB is just how many roster holes a guy like RW can cover up. Geno = capable backup, a liability as a starter.
• Has the D turned the corner? They've certainly looked better lately, but it just may be more about how feeble Pitt & Jax are on offense. But they did a good job vs Saints as well, who don't suck. Stiff tests after the bye with GB & AZ.
• Great to see Darrell Taylor out there yesterday. He seems like more or less the only front 7 dude on the roster who can be counted on for pressure every week.
• Trade Deadline: I saw an article on 710 this morning mentioning Penny and Collier as possibly being shopped. We wouldn't get anything significant for either player, probably best for all sides if it happens. Bummer that neither player worked out here.
• I feel pretty strongly it's time for a change at HC. Pete has been great, but I think we need some fresh ideas at the top. He wants to approach the game like we have the LOB in their prime and Lynch running the ball, and it's just not there. What's the point of changing OCs a couple times in 3 years and bringing in a guy like Waldron if you aren't going to embrace it in the gameplan? I felt it was time to move on from Pete after the horrible playoff loss to the Rams, but I got tricked into renewing hope during the off-season when we supposedly brought in the Rams offense. After a half season, I think I'm back to where I was in Jan. If there's an idea in the organization that PC & RW can't co-exist any longer, then it's Russell we need to keep because he's the rare commodity in this marriage. I just can't see us making it any further than we have the last few years with a 1964 approach to offense. In a sim world, I would love to see what Mike Holmgren could do with this group of offensive talent; we have way too much of it to have struggled so frequently this year (and the 2nd half of 2020).

I had trouble giving away tickets to yesterday's game. I had them up for sale for $60 under face value and couldn't move them. Ended up eating 2 seats. Quite a change from years past.

Hmm Holmgren with this offensive talent! YES PLEASE! wish we could go back in time and grab the Holmgren from 2000. My god i think this would be one of if not the most explosive and high scoring offense in NFL history with Holmgren here. Hyperbole, Maybe lol We do need a new "offensive identity" and i have stated this before. I am tired of them bringing in New OC but we still see the SAME OFFENSE. Yes they add little wrinkles but it looks like 95% or more the same to me.

One thing is for sure Holmgren can draft Oline talent and hit on some picks unlike what we got now.

 

[Screamin12th]

hit on online picks that is, he wasn't all that great at drafting anything else. lol

Congrats on your grand baby, saw you on FB...

• Geno has always been serviceable but shouldn't be a guy that garners multiple starts... It was nice to see him play decent yesterday...
• Defense definitely looks like it has turned a corner... Our DB's have been playing pretty well the past few games... I love Tre Brown, glad to see him playing well as a rookie with only playing a few games so far...
• Darrell Taylor was my favorite player drafted last year... Couldn't wait to see him get some PT and he hasn't disappointed any of us... Like you said, he seems to be the only guy to be getting any consistent pressure each game... Dunlap finally showed up yesterday but that wasn't a very good OL we were facing...
• Trade deadline... I saw that as well... But that same article mentioned that we would be a buyer in the WR market by the trade deadline... I hope that isn't the case... We don't need more WR's , specifically if we have to give up draft picks to get them... Eskridge comes back after the bye week...
• Pete's been great but I want some fresh blood with a more innovative approach to the game... I look at all these young coaches in the game and they're all innovative w/ unique approaches that fit the current trends in the NFL this day and age... Pete has done tremendous things for our city and team and i'm very grateful for him and his commitment over the years... I just think the game has passed his approach to the game by...

I'm one of the guys that would've purchased them prior to 2020 but now days i'd rather stay home and watch the game on tv and save money, rather than put up with the politics in the state of WA that change week to week...
