Emfuckingbarrassing.
DK being a shit head was the cherry on the top of this shit performance cake.
What in the fuck did I just watch?
I’m not usually a doomer but that was genuinely a disgusting fucking game. The most disappointing thing wasn’t how poorly some of our players performed, but that our gameplan was a total regression to 2021 levels across the board. How fucking long is McVay gonna do this to Pete?
“Bend don’t break” meanwhile our offense sees the ball 1-2 times a quarter because we give them the middle of the field for free. How many fucking times have we lost games from the time of possession difference? Nothing has changed
The injuries are extremely unfortunate, and after the tackles went down we got steamrolled by Donald and co. because we have the worst o-line depth in the NFL. I don’t blame Geno for any of that because he had no chance, but he was still underwhelming overall (i.e. missing Bobo for a walk in TD)
Our offensive gameplan looked like shit even before the injuries. We barely moved the chains, and even when Geno had protection our vaunted receivers seemed to be locked up. DK and Lockett were great in spots, but DK pulling that stuff at the end of the game is the same shit, different year. It’s getting old – I fucking hate the Rams too but don’t let them win that way. I felt like we didn’t structure our gameplan for JSN around his strengths at all. TE’s were solid as always which is nice. Charbonnet didn’t do much, but Dallas looked pretty explosive
Some real positives are that Walker looks like he hasn’t missed a beat. He was explosive, and we should’ve used him more to control possession before we got down too much. He was chunking. I think Riq looked good and made some plays – Stafford avoided him for the most part. Mafe looks extremely exciting, and was our best d-lineman this game. Bobby’s presence was sorely missed, although he’s clearly lost a couple steps
I can’t think of much else, I’m just extremely disappointed. On to Detroit. Go Hawks
Edit: Oh yeah, how could I forget the moldy ass Swiss cheese secondary that got completely fucking exposed save for Riq. I know the d-line was shit, but they don’t have any excuse considering their lofty expectations. I don’t know how much of it can be attributed to the shitty gameplan, but we need Jamal and Spoon back immediately because that was super disappointing
Does anybody remember when Russ got traded and DK said something along the lines of, “I’m the veteran on offense now, so I’m going to step up and be an example for these guys.” ?
His repeated childish and petty behavior on the field is the exact opposite of this and is incredibly frustrating to watch year after year.
That was pathetic
Game from Hell
Rams were viewed as a bottom 3-5 team and they just destroyed us at home without their best offensive weapon.
This team is concerning…
Key points I believe are we missed the fg to go up multiple possessions before the half.
Losing both tackles.
Defense on the field too long and again missing Adams looked over matched.
I’d say we got out coached here too.
Anyone with a Seahawks jersey head to VMAC for tryouts
You know how sometimes the better team doesn’t win? Yeah this wasn’t one of those times
Inconsistent offense with a terrible o-line
Soft defense that can’t stop anything on 3rd down
Feels like I’ve seen this one before
Caleb Williams in the throwback gonna go hard
I, for one, am glad we got our season low loss to the Rams out of the way in week 1 this year.
Ruin my weekend ya fuckers
#IMPLOSION
**The Good**
Tackling and Run Defense has made strides (at least compared to last year). We’ve been better at wrapping up runners and not letting them break for extra coverage. Which is nice to see
K9 looked electric and looks to be in for another dominant season if he maintains this pace of play. He wasn’t AMAZING, but he had the only life in the offense this game.
**The Bad**
Uh…a lot.
The coverage was piss poor, ALL game. So many dink and dunk throws to Atwell, Nacua, and Higbee, and allowed Stafford to methodically kill us. Soft ass coverage. Whether it’s Pete, Clint Hurtt, or Karl Scott, it seriously needs to be addressed or heads have to roll.
The offense was absolute GARBAGE in the 2nd half. Even with the injury to the tackles, the sheer lack of production with all of the playmakers we have on offense is a simple and abject failure. **WE HAD THREE FUCKING YARDS IN THE 2ND HALF**
**The Ugly**
All of the injuries. Losing Cross and Lucas hurts this team and losing Lockett to a concussion protocol only hurt us more. Lockett should be back but who knows how long Cross and Lucas will be out, losing them long term would seriously neuter this offense
DK Metcalf shoving Witherspoon. The game was understandably frustrating but that shit is bush league. Dirty stuff.
Does our defensive coordinator realize the middle of the field is in bounds? Nearly every pass Stafford threw over the middle was uncontested.
I’m seeing my first Seahawks game this year by the way. God help me.
Seems like maybe there were some big issues with the team that went 2-6 in their last 8 games last year, only barely winning 2 games against the Rams who were missing their best players.
Yes it’s only week 1 this season, but we’ve all seen this game for the last several years now. Defense giving up long, easy drives as always. Offense disappearing completely when it’s needed. And when they had an opportunity to “step on their throat” early, they immediately throw away all their momentum (Meyer’s missed FG after the block). Showed no fight, except of course when your supposed “superstar” continues to be a petulant child.
With the schedule they have, this could be a brutal year if they’re going to continue to be who they’ve been.
it’s been a few Septembers since I’ve been THIS disappointed in both the Hawks and the Ms, very nostalgic actually
I know its just week one but we’ve mostly had the same issues for like 5 years now and, honestly, Im just tired of talking about them
Pete Carroll is a defensive minded coach but we haven’t fielded a good defense since the departure of Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril
I waited nine months of my life
On the bright side we allowed less than 100 yards rushing! That’s it, that’s all I got for this one
And that, my friends, is why the Eagles don’t stop drafting tackles just because they have two of them
wow. That was one of the most embarassing and disrespectful losses I have seen in a long time from this team. To get punked in front of a Packed house at home like that, and then to go on and get personal fouls, taunting flags, cheap shotting players. What are we doing? What an unacceptable display of an opener by Carroll.
Obviously its week 1, and who knows by week 10 this game could look completely silly. But the fans who showed up today dont deserve that lol. I mean im here watching at home with my grandma and we’re honestly baffled how bad we were today. We had 3 yards of offense in the second half.
1st half was watchable. That’s all I got.
Carroll just can’t figure out McVay. He gets outcoached every single time they play.
Good luck mods, for starters.
No gameplan. Looks like they came in with no idea of what was gonna happen on either side of the ball. Just spamming plays and hoping for the best. No adjustments. No discipline. Players getting hurt.
Beyond disappointed. We’re finding new ways to have ‘worst game of the Pete Carrol era’ every year. It’s fucked.
Gotta turn it around fast. Holy shit that was bad.
Nothing will change defensively until Pete puts his ego aside and hires a legit DC outside the org who will actually challenge him and brings a fresh perspective and not another one of his under qualified internal yes men. Sorry not sorry.
Jalen Carter was everywhere against New England
Got a clutch af sack too
Our D-line couldn’t do jack squat.
Face it.
Pete screwed up again.
Can someone with football knowledge help me understand what is happening when we continually are having WRs make massive gains in the middle of the field?
Genuinely trying to learn – seems like other teams do that to us consistently but we’ve never had the luxury
At least the Lions won’t have footage of our offense to analyze next week
