Similar in the negligence of player management. Quinn should have taken him out. He probably was going to after that drive, hoping for a td to salvage Jaydens night.
For RGiii, he was already playing on a bum knee, management kept him in because they knew it was there only way to win the game. Caring more about a championship push more than there QBs health. Just horrible.
If I was the owner of an NFL franchise that was both in the middle of an injury-filled, non-competitive season and had a young, blossoming talent at QB (a dual-threat player who was coming off an injury!) the least forgivable thing my HC could do (in game) would be to leave said QB in there down 4+ possessions in the 4th quarter.
You have to protect the franchise there. So, so dumb.
Tory Horton looked good, he's so smooth and has such long strides it's difficult to tell that he's fast af, with a good catch radius. I think next year will be when his volume and counting stats start popping but it's cool he's proven himself as a solid red zone threat as a rookie.
The Seahawks are a young team still improving. I was really confident we'd win against the Moons for some reason. It just felt like an ideal match-up. Glad we stomped them. Look at all of the rookies contributing in a substantial way! That bodes well for the rest of the season and future seasons.
JSN is simply sublime. He doesn't even look like he's working hard out there, but is making a 100 yard game look routine. He's really something else. Glad he's on our team.
I want people to keep waiting for Sam Darnold to turn back into a pumpkin. Keep waiting. And waiting. Waiting....
I was most worried about an injury to EJ more than anyone else on the defense, so that was a substantial bummer. Hopefully he's only out for a game or two. JS may need to make a move there.
Can we start talking about this rookie class? They look like quite the collective group...think if we'd have taken a DB, RG or NT (which we needed) instead of Milroe (a total project who wasn't projected to contribute this season in any material way)...Jaylin Smith, Upton Stout, Deone Walker or others could have been contributing more now...plus riley mills is en route and could be crazy effective in his role.
Playing the what if game will only drive you crazy man. I didnt want Milroe either, I begged for a RG, but it didnt happen. So now, I hope Milroe develops into a solid backup to replace Drew Lock and hope we draft a RG first round next year as superbowl winners.
It's been an amazing rookie class for sure. I'm not fussed about the Milroe pick, it's a shot, and whether it works out or not we'll have to wait and see. But every other pick all the way to the Ouzts pick is contributing in a big way. I think they may break the record for most rookie snaps in a single season they way they are going. Zabel has played every offensive snap so far, and played well.
One other item. I don't know how good the Moons are but we scored more points than our season average and we held them to few points than our season average. I would be great if we could continue that trend. And I think Pittsburgh exposed Indy for the frauds they are.
I felt lIke Sunday night was going to be a dominant win for the Hawks. My concern is why this team doesn't have a true killer instinct which at times allows opponents back into the games. Strong starts need to have a strong finishing attitude. It's going to bite them in thier behind if the Seahawks allow the opposing team to think that may have a chance to win down the stretch. I want to see the opposing team's body language of "OMG this game is over" in the middle of the third quarter.
So do you want our starters in the game still lighting up the scoreboard risking a similar injury that Jayden Williams got?
No team is gonna give up until mathematical possible, especially halfway through the 3rd quarter.. Bills coming back from 32 points without Jim Kelly against the Oilers, the Hawks 5 minute comeback Vs the Packers,
Not the first game where the "Ready Squad" stepped up for us. I love the depth in our 70 man team! We already have an embarrassement of good recievers...including TE's and RB's with good hands. Want to strike terror in the hearts of opposing DB's?...let's add YET ANOTHER for our hit man...'Sammy the Dime'..Rasheed perhaps? BWAH HA HA HA HA...
Really sad I missed the chat this week, was at a dinner so sneaking peeks at the game as I was able.
One thing that really impressed me is you had pointed out how weak Moons secondary is and therefore we should pass a lot even though our desired identity is to run the ball. Sure enough that’s what we did. Great call SSJ!
And Darnold with >14 yds/attempt for most of the game was insane, as well as JSN once again being >16 yds/reception.
No Koop, no Bobo, no Dareke, so easier to key on JSN yet he still goes for 129 in three quarters of play. I’m watching it happen but still can’t believe how great a receiver JSN is. Not sure even Chase or Jefferson are his equal, maybe Puka but we’re talking top 5 WR at worst.
And I don’t know how good Moons front seven has been, but zero sacks and not a ton of pressures. Our OL is light years better.
And Ty Okada stepped up AGAIN. And Spoon is back! And Emmanwori is all over the field making plays. Wow.
Worried about Jobe and concussion protocols. Worried about Ernest Jones, no question Moons ran better in the 2nd half after he left the game.
I had to watch that replay several times before I could get a frame to show he'd gotten second foot down before his hand/arm hit out of bounds...it was so close. Go Tyrone! Now quit knocking our own guys out...
I wondered why he was in during trash time, but then I remembered this was the same organization that left RGIII in against us until his knee literally gave up on him.
I was at the game in person, the cheers from Washington fans were pretty much silenced by the middle of the second quarter, and the SEA HAWKS chants were getting very loud by the 4th quarter. Utter domination in every single phase of the game (except the run game still wasnt spectacular)
I thought the run game was pretty efficient before the game got laughable. At some point, Washington knew we were just going to run out the clock and could sell out against the run.
All the fireworks were in the first half. Two totally different halfs. But what a first half. If you're up by 24 points it's ok to coast in the second half.
That was the most complete, dominant performance by a Seahawks team in a long time. The only thing I can really quibble about was the run game still being less effective than they want. It was just effective enough that the passing game was just about unstoppable tonight. Hopefully this team keeps getting even better!
Kubiak doesn't adjust well to real-time changes opponents make to his schemes. It will be a big factor when we face McVay and Shanahan, especially in the second half. Maybe Darnold can pick up some of the slack? So much talent is being left unused.

So dumb...I couldn't believe he was still in. I would like to think I would have pulled him prior to that happening.
It was a thing of beauty.

Sam Danielle was the bomb!

Joe Theismann’s injury is was one of the worst I have seen. I cringed back then and can’t watch it again.
Hoping Jayden Daniels is back soon.
That Theisman image came flooding back into my mind as I watched Daniel’s suffer his injury. Both the kind of images you just can’t ‘unsee’.
Actually was rooting for the Moons to score "some".
dang, injuries suck! Here's hoping that Mr. Jayden Daniels heals up well 'n returns strong.
"Could the Seahawks be the first team in NFL history that doesn’t want the number one seed?"
Oh,... i didn't get it at first or at All until the very last sentence. Well played.
"With how the Seahawks are playing on the road, do they even want that?"

They looked like that in the second quarter if you asked me.
Horton was great in for cooper's spot. I liked what I saw from Thomas and Okada. In all, the starters were awesome on both sides of the ball.
And Cody White going from the Practise Squad to a TD tonight!

Amazing catch!! Okada made the kind of catch worthy of Lockett or JSN!

Re Okada, don’t miss Brady Russell’s (#38) reaction to Ty’s interception.

The similarities are eerie. Too eerie.

That got the backups some much needed snaps which will benefit them in future games.
We were lucky Tyrone Okada got all that practice before tonight.
That was the most complete, dominant performance by a Seahawks team in a long time. The only thing I can really quibble about was the run game still being less effective than they want.

I agree 100% regarding Kubiak lack of adjustment, but he to is learning how to call the offense on a real team. Let’s hope he growers into the role.
