Just having Jamal Adams would have gotten that win. Add to that Tre Brown or better instead of Jackson, who tries his best, but was a liability. And figuring out our 3-4 or abandoning it. All that will make our team much better. Getting Geno more protection from the middle now, would be nice. The Rookie tackles played good. Mafe looked good.
The offense was improved over what I watched last week, but, the defense has the same problem it had last year and maybe the year before that. It can’t get off the field unless the other teams scores or makes a bad play. Was it in the 3rd quarter where we had them in a 3rd and 19? Didn’t seem to be much of of a problem for the Falcons getting a 1st down.
Yesterday, I wrote that this offense can’t overcome penalties. The holding call on the Penny screen was a prime example. It put the team on their heels. Too much to overcome. L.
With every game we play, we learn a little bit more about what we have to work with. The defense was going to go through growing pains no matter what, but then losing Jamal Adams almost immediately into the season has really set them back. They designed the defense around him, and no one can fill those cleats. I'm not suggesting Adam's presence makes them a good defense, but I do think they're a little lost without him right now.
They almost fulfilled my vision board wish of 30+ team rushing attempts and they almost won the game.
With the gsme on the line Gino had two sacks and a pick . A winnable game lost because Gino Smith is Gino Smith.
His supporters will point out his stats, but , unfortunately the only stat the counts is wins and losses. His career win loss record defines why he's a 10 year back up.
Another loss next week and it's hello Drew, sit down Gino. What do the Hawks have to lose? Walker needs more touches!!!
And yes the D sucks but it will take time to adjust to a 3 / 4. Another good outside LB would do wonders. Hello JK Wright.
D will improve in time. The O not so much.
How about those Huskies!.Just goes to show how much a good coaching staff can do.
Jackson had a rough day so lets throw him on the trash heap. Really? If he plays the same way against Detroit then he'll see the bench. If he rebounds that'll tell us something as well. Good corners are built, not born.
Kenneth, you said it well a couple of weeks back. The Seahawks can play badly and lose, and yet their season is on track. That's where I'm at. This season isn't about winning. It's about giving young players experience and building for the future. Was great to see Walker rip off a great run. The confidence will come.
The results from these first three games have me thinking we should put aside any thought of using picks to trade up. There are too many holes on this roster and we'll need every chance we can get to fill them. A quarterback, no matter how good, won't be enough.
Lay a lot of this loss on Pete. We had momentum, we were moving the ball and Pete says “I don’t believe you guys can make 2 yards”. End of Mo, end of confidence, end of game.
I know the Hawks aren’t very good but that’s all the more reason why your coach should back you.
To quote you Joe, geno is NOTHING but a career backup. Run game....what run game. Pass rush...what pass rush. This is a crappy team hoping that young guys get enough experience that we can have a half assed good team for a (hopefully) new franchise QB. I am a loyal fan and will accept this year as a learning year for the young guys. I would say give geno 2 more games, then let Lock do what he can. I picked today as one of 4 wins for the hawks this year. Falcons are bad, we are worse
One thing will make the difference for possible Pro Bowls. I played 25 years of top flight rugby. This is bragadoshes but its the only way to explain it.In Rugby you play offense and defense. If I get to reved up it could lead to a missed play. I should make my position clear it was a mixture of free safety and quarterback. What worked best for me is I had God given speed. And i worked super hard on the basics which got me out of all sorts of trouble. To all Seahawks rookies concentrate on the basics. At both of your sizes work on your basics. Get so good at your basics, that Pete and Shane see all pros by mid-season next year. Cheers big ears go get them.
I will not dribble on about are second half performance. Hopefully Nix will play at a level he could go late 3rd round, I believe Seattle may choose him there.
I really think he has the tools to be a much better, Kurt Cousins.
I think this is good and the ilk thar Pete would love.
Like I said I won't dribble on about Bo's off field issue , minor as it is.
It's OK Seattle I saw some promise, I will not make a guess just yet. I will say it go HAWKS. sorry for the odor right at the end
-You can write off Tanner McKee. It's not that he has no talent but rather I don't think he'll heal up in time for the combine after the beating he took this weekend.
-Tyler Van Dyke will have to rise from the dead after being benched against Middle Tennessee State.
-Jalon Daniels showed he and KU are for real.
-Sam Hartman could be a steal in the draft as teams worry about the longterm impact of Paget-Schroetter syndrome. He's now has the Pete/John favorite trait of having overcome a personal tragedy. The literature says there should be minimal longterm effect as long as the condition was treated properly.
-Anthony Richardson The pundits talk about his "immense potential" but so far he's 65 or 121 for 53.7% with 2 TDs and 5 ints. Unless he intends to be the first successful run-first QB in the NFL he doesn't warrant even a second round grade.
-Uiagalelei is doing better than I thought. He's 83 of 129 for 64.3% with 10 tds and 1 int but those numbers have come against an unimpressive lineup of Georgia Tech, LA Tech, Furman, and Duke.
-Henden Hooker runs the the nation's 1st (yds) or 2nd (tds) ranked offense and his stat line, 81 of 113 for 71.7% with 8 tds and 0 ints looks pretty darn good.
I disagree. Look, most of us have played football and some of us have coached it. My approach is if you have young kids you have to teach them to believe in themselves and their team. You don’t do that by playing statistical odds. You play by momentum, by mindset, and potential result. So Look at the situation. You play by statistics and you get 3 points. But you lose your mo and you’re teams confidence In you. Do you really think you’re D is going to rise.up and get you a 3 and out? Or you’re O has another long drive in them? No, you go for it. If you don’t get it you still have shone your team that you believe in them, and come Monday’s practice you have a teaching moment. What good was the 3 points anyway? It costs you in the long run.
Well, subject matter has changed since my last comment. I am not anti-Pete and I understand the odds but this is going to be a lost season so why not let them go for it and show them you believe in them. The game was gone at that point anyway so screw the odds. Give us them a shot.

Can’t criticize a ballsy call when its a young team going nowhere this season.
