At this point why put the ball in a rookie qb's hands AT ALL when you have an absolute baller at QB. If you need a tush push type play, give it to Barner.
I was heartened by going for it on 4th and 2 at their 20 and scoring the TD late in the game. Didn't seem like we could stop Baker at that point so that was absolutely the right choice. Unfortunately a couple bad bounces for us in an absolutely thrilling game. Just hope they can also beat the Niners in Tampa next week.
Regarding home losses, I wonder… is this mostly due to defense or offense? If I’m not mistaken, I think the losses have mostly been due to defensive struggles.
Could it be that opponents’s offenses know that they will face a loud crowd, so they hit the books and work on their silent calls and counts. That focus translates to stronger play in general. In contrast, our defense expects that they will have an advantage and they already know how to operate at home. During the game, the opposing offense isn’t behaving the way they did on tape, so some of the tells aren’t there.
On another note, did the Tampa D hold back some blitz looks for the final series? They’ve played a lot of close games. Were they content to keep their powder dry as long as it was a one possession game, showing some new looks only at the end? Sam got hit twice in the final series. We got one rebound. They got the other. They didn’t deliver that pressure earlier, despite defenses typically tiring at the end.
I am pissed. Meyers missed a FG in the 49ers game that could have led to W for us. He missed in Phoenix and almost cost us the game. He missed today and cost us another loss. Time to re-evaluate our K position. Yes, our back up secondary stunk for the most part, we had little pass rush until the 2nd half. BIT, we were in the game and could have won IF our K had just done his job, his only job.
How about our AJ Barnburner? Hell, all the guys played well, lest we forget this is still early for them pulling together as a group. Damn good football played today by our Offense. Strong push against a damn fine front. Gotta weed out hired guns. Bad influences. Hope the guys can squeeze in a beer with Baker before he's off. I watch this sport because of guys like him.
Took my family to the opening day game and couldn't sleep that night afterwards. I'll sleep fine tonight...Darnold kicks ass and bounces don't always go your way, I can live with a helmet pick. Defense is beat up right now and Tampa is that team this year that's gonna get that lucky bounce, it is what it is, but our team is really good and headed in the right direction.
The offense absolutely sucked for 26 minutes and was world-beating for 34 minutes. The OL is definitely getting better, but the penalties and mistakes are killing this team.
For the most part, special teams played well again. This part of the team is not a problem
WTF was that defensive effort?? I think Woolen only tried to make one tackle and that's because they ran right at (over) him on 3rd and 1. Coverage was bad all over the place, lots of open receivers for the Bucs. And that was because there was zero pass rush. No threats from the outside meant they could go 1-1 on the OLBs and use the 3 guys in the middle to clog things up for Big Cat and Murph. And Big Cat still made a couple of plays. Jarran Reed was invisible, among others.
Is it time to bite the bullet and see what Trey Hendrickson is going to cost? Something has to happen on the outside.
To me “offense sucked” = they can’t move the ball. Like if they had 0 yards and no first downs on the first 3 drives. The Seahawks had something like 230 yards in the first half and nothing to show for it.
The fact that the Seahawks “almost” played good enough to score 50 today. I don’t think the offense ever sucked. I think they need to clean up their mistakes. It sucks when your third string QB fumbles and your kicker misses a close one and your fringe starting center is ineligible. Seahawks fans are lucky to have these players and coaches on offense.
Was the o-line the big issue today? Certainly they could have played better in the first half but we did have one of the highest scoring games of the season so far.
The Milroe experiment has to stop. We have a QB I would invest into. I question if he will even be a backup level QB The team did well considering the injures. Running game was good.
He's a developmental QB, so we need to let him develop. Literally 5 games in guys lol, we're ok. Awful mistake by him but I do think we have QBOTF in our roster, whether it be Sam or him! Can't over react and immediately take away his snaps
In theory, I love the concept of slowly easing Milroe into games situationally without any pressure to start - or even back up - at QB.
But you have to provide Milroe with SOME uncertainty for the opposing team with the threat of a run OR a pass. Up to now, he has only ever been used on clear running plays, and defenders know this…
Either put in some clear run/pass situational packages for Milroe (that he has already shown mastery of in practice) or don’t put him in at all - you can only fail so many times before it takes a toll (or loses your team a close game, as it turns out)
I will never know what it is to embarrass myself in front of a million viewers. The uninvited replays he'll go through for weeks is what will make him great when we next see him. Expect Coach will have him back on this horse soon. Milroe is a solid.
I was a huge Milroe believer in the offseason but I agree…Darnold has raised expectations beyond what we could’ve hoped for when we signed him; he’s young enough to fully build this team around him.
Most points given up since 9/30/2024 to Lions, 42 points.

Wild TD for No-e in the Arizona game.
Put Milroe on the bench and leave him there!!
He’s done nothing in his 3 snaps. He should just run or at the very least execute a simple option pitch
Some one, anyone , please tell me what Milroe is doing on an NFL team? So far, he fumbles good!
14 played great! JSN was world class. OLINE was fine, both RB’s excelled, the Tight End was amazing…
What was missing was our secondary, tackling, but mostly PATHETIC PASS RUSH !!!!!😡😡😡

Tough loss, but not an embarrassing loss.
A lot of folks played great FB today!! The D line really hurt us… Pressure, ANY PRESSURE would’ve really impacted Mayfield today
EXACTLY!!! That 3 points ate at me the entire 2nd half!!! Making that changes everything you do

BIT, we were in the game and could have won IF our K had just done his job, his only job.
EXACTLY!!! Those 3 points haunted everything the 2nd half
We lost a fumble and had a pick. I don't think it was all on the kicker but it sure would be nice if he had made it.

Seems I missed what makes MM a genius at defense today...they perty much sucked.

The oline is new together and young. The QB has never played with these guys I think we lost to a good team and will get better.

Again, I am reminded why I respect you, SSJ.

Milroe I wish him the best but he seems to lack feel for the game.
Darnold was steal.
