Smiling big time : "Pete Carroll and JS after the Broncos traded 2 firsts and 2 seconds for the wrong Seattle quarterback" ... chuckling. Thanks, KenJoe, keep on keepin' on.
Would really like to have the Falcons win and be 5-2. They're doing well, but they're a pro team competing in a winnable division.
How we play against the Rams is really where we stand in the post Russell era as that's where he really had trouble, Seattle struggled.
One game over .500 at 7 weeks is a bit early to get excited, but this team cam compete, and have a team that's sustainable because no one's playing above their level.
Might be said the rookies can still improve, especially Mafe and Walker
I voted that Geno will be benched before the end of the season.
And that's because we will have such a dominant win some week that we will play Drew Lock in the 4th quarter. Not only that, but our playoff seed will also be crystalized by week 17, so Drew gets the start on week 18 so Geno gets a bye week. Unless we have the 1st seed (I'm not that optimistic *yet*), then Geno will start so he doesn't rust, but Lock will finish the game. A pre-post-season game, if you want.
Wonderful idea, but I believe allowing readers the chance to see the old answers before answering the new survey allowed for people to impact how they answered. Memory is a funny thing. It is definitely not reliable when it comes to the ego. The ego can gradually change how we view the past until we actually believe untruths about how we felt in the past.
Anyways, I took the survey before reading the past results. I was one of the few whose opinion of Geno has not changed substantially since last year. How I was so confident in Geno I cannot say for sure, but how he played last year is probably most of it. Plus I am almost always optimistic about our chances which has led to plenty of disappointment.
I stopped blaming our OC's and OL's two seasons ago. I had highly vague doubts about RW3 that have clarified since he has demonstrated his limitations this year in stark relief.
I've loved Pete for almost his entire tenure here. I just love his philosophy. I think it transfers to life. Choose happiness. Choose compassion.
Thanks for the look back Kenneth. It is remarkable how swiftly the rookies have impacted this season. This team is not the same without these picks, and affirms what I thought was the best offseason in a decade.
As someone who doubted Geno, here is my obligatory apology: sorry Geno, thanks for not writing back. Stoked that he's been exactly the kind of bridge QB we needed, what an awesome story. Before the season, I was just hoping he could be TJax, i.e. not awful but not good. That would allow the players to develop and our offense to keep us competitive. He's been far better than that.
Despite our astounding success this year, I'm not really wavering on where I put the team to start the year. I never really pegged us for bottom 5, I thought 7-10 or 8-9 were about right. I still feel comfortable with that, but would be over the moon if we did better and played well into January. I didn't quite expect the division to be this wide open, tbh.
I just want to say that the Seahawks are *meeting my expectations* although I have to say I was wrong about Geno. I was certain that Lock would be the guy leading the Seahawks to a 10-win season.
I hesitated over "Win the NFCW" or "Lose the NFCW but make the playoffs". Can the Seahawks actually win the NFCW? All of the teams have weaknesses but here is the thing for me: with 6 rookies starting for the Seahawks they are going to continue to improve as the season goes on. Our OL is already "getting it" and the play that convinced me of that was Walker's first TD vs San Diego. Find that play and look closely at how well it was blocked--on the left side too, btw. So I am ALL IN on the Seahawks winning the NFCW!

Pretty easy to reply yes I was wrong about Geno. If you had asked me that after the Niners game I would have said I was right about Geno.
I voted that Geno will be benched before the end of the season.
And that's because we will have such a dominant win some week that we will play Drew Lock in the 4th quarter. Not only that, but our playoff seed will also be crystalized by week 17, so Drew gets the start on week 18 so Geno gets a bye week.

boy was I wrong...wow!
