This is a guest article by Curtis Allen…
In the NFL there are always teams who start well but cannot sustain their success and just as quickly as they rose, they fade back to the pack to make way for the real contenders.
Two such candidates face off Sunday as the Seahawks host the visiting Browns. Both teams sit at 4-2. With wins they are poised to join the top of their divisions. Both have designs on more than just making the playoffs.
However, looking beyond just their record shows they are not on as solid a ground as it would appear. A return to the earth could be in store for both if they do not take a big step forward.
The Browns have the NFL’s best defense statistically so far this year. Jim Schwartz has proven to be a great fit as a defensive coordinator for them. They dedicated themselves to building around Myles Garrett and that has made him even more effective. His game last week against the Colts was as dominant a performance as we have seen from a defensive player this season. He personally accounted for 10 points with a blocked field goal and a sack in the end zone that resulted in a touchdown.
They have really struggled at the quarterback spot though. Deshaun Watson has been injured an ineffective (then injured again). They have turned to Dorian Thompson-Robinson and P.J. Walker. Both have faired badly in the role and weapons the Browns have collected like Amari Cooper and David Njoku have not been utilized as much as they could.
On offense, they have relied on a strong running game and plenty of creativity to offset the lack of talent in the game’s most important position. The defense has been so good, they have nearly made up the difference on offense.
Cleveland is also the beneficiary of two major end-of-game miscues in as many weeks. San Francisco missed an easily make-able 41-yard field goal try at the end of their game, sealing a Browns victory. Last week the game looked like a Browns loss until the referees explicably flagged pass interference on a throw that was headed out of the end zone and nearly into the third row of seats and the Browns capitalized on a first-and-goal at the one-yard line to win it.
They could easily be 2-4 at this point.
The same could be said for the Seahawks. They appear in good shape at 4-2 with an improved defense and plenty of weaponry on offense. Yet three of those four wins have come against teams that will very likely be picking in the top-five of the draft next year.
Last week’s 20-10 victory over Arizona was not nearly as comfortable as it should have been. The offense once again had execution problems as well as three turnovers. The defense – while only conceding 10 points – struggled to maintain their discipline, with the edges failing to maintain their integrity at critical moments and tackling being a problem at times.
That leads of our first critical watch point in this matchup of two talented but flawed teams.
Stand Your Ground on Defense
The Seahawks are rightly proud of their rush defense, as they have consistently been near the top of the league in yards conceded per carry. Right now, they are #3 in the NFL at 3.5 yards per attempt.
It should be noted, however, that this defense conceded 5.08 yards per carry last week to a Cardinals offense that features one of the worst passing quarterbacks in the NFL. Joshua Dobbs completed 58.8% of his passes, was sacked four times and finished the game with 146 passing yards. The point being — run defense was a known key before they even stepped on the field and they still struggled with it.
I point out Dobb’s performance as a way to highlight that is probably what the Browns are expecting from P.J. Walker in this game. Once again, the Seahawks benefit by playing one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL today. Walker’s PFF grade is currently 29.5. He has played in two games as a practice squad elevation. If Walker has even a mediocre game at quarterback, it will be a career best.
To say they are going to feature the run is a massive understatement.
They will try all manner of plays to set up the run. From your standard between-the-tackles runs, to screen plays, to the Wildcat, to clever reverses to get Elijah Moore and maybe old friend Marquise Goodwin in space to let their speed and shiftiness create havoc.
Emari Demarcardo had a career day with 58 yards against the Seahawks last week, including runs of 18, 12 and eight yards. He had an average of four yards per rush before he was touched by a Seahawks defender.
Rondale Moore had a 15-yard run and Josh Dobbs had his 25-yard touchdown run, banging off Seahawks tacklers like a pinball.
The Browns have a better offensive line and more running weapons than the Cardinals had. The Seahawks need to tighten things up and not allow the Browns’ offense any breathing room to move the ball while simultaneously keeping it out of their quarterback’s hands.
This is the test right here. You can hang your hat all you like on the stats. Can they put a stop to the run when they absolutely have to?
It is a fight. A challenge. Who can minimize their weaknesses and in turn help maximize their strengths even more? The Browns will likely be very happy with a short intermittent passing game and a stout rushing attack if they can keep the Seattle defense on the field and win the field position game.
With Uchenna Nwosu out, it will be on the young shoulders of Boye Mafe and Derrick Hall to contain the edges on run plays. Time to step forward, fellas.
Game-Plan the Offense to Minimize Myles Garrett’s Impact
If you have read any of my previous watch points posts, you probably have heard me say a weakness of the Seahawks over the years has been a lack of humility. At times they do not account for an opponents’ strength, preferring to run their set plays and let the chips fall where they may.
Myles Garrett is one such player that Shane Waldron and Geno Smith need to be aware of on every single snap. I submit he should be closely considered when working up and implementing an offensive plan for this game.
In Week Three, the Tennessee Titans did not adjust for Garrett and it cost them dearly. They ran the ball only 15 times (a team with Derrick Henry and Tyjae Spears only calling 15 runs!) and threw the ball 30 times. Ryan Tannehill was slow, indecisive and unable to find his second and third reads.
Garrett’s stat line for the game (I promise you I am not making this up): 3.5 sacks, three tackles for loss, a forced fumble, five quarterback hits and six pressures. Tennessee ended up with 94 total yards for the game. It was brutal.
The Colts last week decided they would rather play to their strengths and planned accordingly. They only asked Gardner Minshew to throw the ball 27 times (against a whopping 40 runs). They gained 168 yards and had three touchdowns on the ground.
Garrett still had a memorable performance. He had two sacks, three pressures, blocked a field goal and had two forced fumbles. One of them resulted in a touchdown. Yet the Colts had the game virtually won until that terrible blown call by the officials. They found a formula on offense and it worked.
A 23/40 pass/run day for the Seahawks would be just what the doctor ordered. Split those 40 runs between Ken Walker, Zach Charbonnet and Deejay Dallas and keep Garrett in check as he chases runners rather than the quarterback.
As for how to plan for and handle Garrett, let’s take a brief look at his “worst” game this year against San Francisco. He ended the game with one pressure and five tackles, nothing more.
How did the Niners game plan for him? Have a look at the highlight reel from the NFL.
— Run away from him. Look at the very first play. Garrett is lined up over the left tackle and they run behind the right guard. McCaffrey jukes through the traffic and Garrett actually pursues him on the backside. If you can get him huffing and puffing after chasing running backs all day, that will only help you when you do decide to pass the ball.
— Run right at him. Look at the next play. He’s lined up over the left tackle again but Trent Williams seals the tackle inside and both the guard and Kyle Juszczyk are pulling to seal him off and give the runner space. Also look at 8:46. They let him penetrate inside and run a sweep with the tight ends leading the way.
— Use his aggressiveness against him. Very next play at 0:35. Nobody blocks him, McCaffrey gives him a token chip and then turns to receive a shovel from Purdy and Garrett is totally out of the play. But also…
— Do not try the typical screen. Cue the video to 1:33 and get ready to cringe and say a prayer for Charles Cross. The Niners have a typical screen set up with offensive linemen pulling and trying to set up. Trent Williams – the best left tackle in the NFL – tries to just chip and release Garrett and gets manhandled. The other defenders’ speed takes over and cleans up a play wrecked by Garrett.
— Pay the Garrett Tax. 2:42, 5:12, 5:40, you see the Niners double teaming or otherwise chipping Garrett. I’d like to point out at 5:12 they use McCaffrey to chip him with Trent Williams right there. Now that is humility. It is OK to admit that good players need some help and that you can use other good players to do some dirty work once in a while.
— Get your QB in motion. Cue to 3:42. Garrett lined up over the left tackle and they are at the left hash mark. Purdy takes the snap and rolls to a large swath of open ground to his right and has a great option to hit Brandon Aiyuk.
— Don’t miss your shots. 8:18 the rush is coming and Purdy has his man sighted and just overthrows him off his back heel. If you are going to stand tall in the pocket and take a hit, you have to keep your mechanics clean and make the play.
— Throw slants and other quick passes. 11:40, 11:55, 12:02. The Niners are moving the ball down the field late in the game. Garrett can’t sack anyone if the ball is thrown before he gets there. PFF says he had an insane 45 pass rush wins that he never translated to a pressure last year because the ball was already gone.
There has been a lot of talk about the Seahawks’ success in play action passes this week, mostly fueled by a PFF tweet:
Geno Smith on play-action passes this season:
45/56
554 yards
3 TDs / 0 INTs
125.7 passer rating— PFF SEA Seahawks (@PFF_Seahawks) October 26, 2023
Fans have taken the obvious road in asking ‘why don’t the Seahawks run more play-action then?’ That reasoning is a bit like the old joke about ‘if the black box is the only thing that survives a plane crash, why not make the whole plane out of the black box material?’
Running play-action is not always practical. Especially if the pass rush is coming (as the Seahawks should absolutely expect it to be). If it opens up middle lanes for quick passes to tight ends, so be it. But with a still-developing offensive line problem and Geno Smith’s indecision, this could simply take too much time to rely on regularly in this game.
Geno Smith has been hesitant and has been double-clutching a lot lately. In the Cincinnati game, Shane Waldron left the tackles to fend for themselves without much assistance in pass protection. Both of these troubles have cost the Seahawks dearly.
If both cannot improve rapidly by using some of the game-enhancing tools we outlined above, we may witness another dominating performance by Myles Garrett on Sunday and another game lost the Seahawks ‘woulda coulda shoulda’ won, making that mountain climb through that tough stretch of games next month even harder.
Win the Turnover Battle
This is always critical — but even more so for this game.
The Seahawks have their heads just barely above water at +1 after that poor performance against Arizona, while the Browns are a miserable -6.
They will have to hold onto the ball in the running game, avoid any strip sacks and Geno Smith will need to cease and desist with his poor decision-making when he tries to plays outside himself.
Another big key: With the #1 defense in the NFL on the other side, a short field for the offense created by a turnover would be huge. For the obvious reason (less work to get in scoring range) but also a very curious secondary one. For all of their great defense, the Browns are one of the worst teams in the NFL in defending the red zone. They are currently allowing 70% of opposition red zone trips to result in a touchdown. I know the Seahawks have had trouble there but this is too good an opportunity to pass up. If they get there, they must take advantage.
Great stuff as always Cha! Thanks for writing this as it was an enjoyable read!
I’ve had an uneasy feeling about our vaunted run defense.
I’m not convinced that we are as good as our numbers present us, and I suspect a regression is due.
This week will be a test, certainly… but the *real* test will be when we face a team that can also, potentially, burn us through the air.
One could argue that the Bengals were just such a team, but Mixon is not a threat at this point in his career, so their running attack was not a great litmus test.
The upcoming stretch of *tough* games will be very interesting and should really give us a sense of where we are and how legit our defense really is.
Four oline starters or starter level players. Great test to see who and what this offense is. Who knows about Lucas so what we see today may be the best lineup for the remainder of the season.
This game feels like a test/warmup for the second half of the year. One gane at a time but…next week is another great defense with a great offense.
Subtract Chenna, add Darrell Taylor, run defense is abysmal.
Edge setting is a critical component of run defense
Clark? Hall? Anyone but Taylor.
Hall, I feel like this could be his moment.
Hope so. Quiet key to the game, Taylor is in for 60% of snaps….yikes.
+1 Hoping Hall gets the bulk of the Uchenna’s snaps. Gotta let the young guys play and see what you have there. Not to mention what they invested to get him. I think game experience is worth it for their development even if they make a couple mistakes.
Great stuff Cha.
1. Three TE’s. RT is a liability. Not sure the thought against the Bengals but as I mentioned before, less spreading the ball around to see what sticks and more protection. Where’s Will Dissly?
2. Now that we are at game 7 time to find something on offense we are good at. Really hope they stick to a heavy run ratio today.
3. Tackling? Please wrap up. Seahawks have had a great run defense thus far. Disagreements amongst fans as to whether this is causation or corollary. Doesn’t matter where you land on that. Browns with no “star,” runningback are one of the best running teams.
4. Deejay Dallas. Pick your spots. With the rule changes over the years I’ve been less interested in kick returns. He’s been good maybe great this year. Everytime it’s not a fair catch I dread the ball is getting popped out. Heavily agree with your turnover notes and feel the same going the other way. Not sure this team can overcome stupid mistakes against the Browns.
Great article. Thanks, Curtis.
Thanks so much Curtis. Good stuff as always.
The “stubborn” Seahawks make me very nervous. We definitely saw that vs. Cincy when help for the Tackles was never forthcoming. I fear if an approach isn’t working as that one wasn’t, they’ll keep beating the horse with said approach until it dies.
An additional thing I’m hoping for besides the ‘W’. Injury free from key players. Against the niners I was getting shades of the LOB as Cleveland started to knock players out of the game.
Off-topic…
I wish we had a long-term solution at QB because there’s some value to be had in the trade market. Baltimore, for example, would be very wise to consider a Sweat or Young trade with Washington.
But I wouldn’t want the Seahawks chasing big trades in their situation. I genuinely think they need to save their picks and maybe add more.
FWIW — I am not that fussed about adding Carl Lawson unless it’s a total token gesture (swap of picks or something miniscule). Doesn’t move the needle for me. He’s a better fit than Darrell Taylor though so maybe they can churn.
Uche?
I’m hoping they get through Tuesday afternoon relatively quietly. There’s zero evidence to me that a pick higher than our native third would yield a player that puts us over the top of anything.
Uche is a designated pass rusher — not sure that’s worth much to us when we already have players who can do that
Yeah I see that’s he’s basically taylor. Six of the same half a dozen of the other.
Uche’s a better scheme fit I think given the way they’ve gone but still… if he’s only there to rush the passer might as well just do that with Taylor or Clark
Just going by today’s performance against the Falcons, it looks like we should’ve traded up in the late 1st or beginning of the 2nd instead of the Titans and selected Will Levis. 4 TDs, no ints.
Each team’s offense is well matched by the other team’s defense.
Penalties and turnovers will determine the outcome
Tbf we are supposed to have the decided offensive advantage (qb). Not sure what the recipe is today to get us over the Browns. Hopefully Waldron can find it though.
Their defense is better than ours by as much a margin as our QB is better than theirs
That’s why I’m stoked for today. It’s like a math problem. Everything crosses everything out and we get to see if this team is ready for prime time or if we’ve been feasting on the bottom of the league thus far.
I have a hunch Clark will be a factor
Or is that a hope?
Does it matter?
Think so as well. Clark and Reed hopefully play the hits today.
Myles Garrett is going to have a Derrick Thomas type game today. Hopefully Paul skansi is there for us in the end.
Could be worse than that…
I have to believe that the game plan on defense will be solid, if I see Taylor out on first down I’m going to just ask them to leave the bottle of bourbon on the table…
Offensively there is a blueprint for how to beat these Browns, the Hawks could get out to an early lead, which should turn into a running game. If the offense bizarrely decides to not account for Garrett or Buck the common wisdom, things could get real ugly.
Was very weird living in the Virgin islands being expected to tip the barkeep at pour your own bars. A precursor to getting asked to tip at self checkout I suppose.
“The referees explicably flagged pass interference on a throw that was headed … into the third row …”
Indeed, the call was explicable: For the NFL wants more points, and will do whatever it takes to get them.
There are reasons they haven’t gone to a Sky Judge, and that’s one of them.
I expect a “keep the game close” defensive hold or illegal contact call every game.
Feels like a Dickson for MVP game incoming- we’ll have a few of those 2 first downs and punt type of drives, if he can pin a few inside the 15, Cleveland will have a hard time sustaining much on offense.
Random question:
Anyone know if you can go in and out of the “Touchdown City” area of the stadium? I know they scan tickets to get in, but can you scan out and return?
I would guess no.

“Re-entry at Lumen Field is event dependent. There is no re-entry for WAMU Theater events unless otherwise specified.”
There were horror stories of fans who left the 2014 NFCCG early and could not get back in when they started their epic comeback.
If “you, as in fans” left the 2014 NFCCG early, you got what you deserved.
These throwback camp cleats are the coolest athletic shoes I’ve ever seen
https://x.com/Seahawks/status/1718666809426235606?s=20
Camo
effen autocorrect
I know my uniform takes are not going down well 🙂 but I wish they would wear white cleats with the throwbacks
This may surprise you, but i 100% agree.
They repainted the field in the old colors and livery. Embracing the old with open arms.
Sometimes the NFL messes up, but sometimes the NFL hits the nail on the head.
This is the “nail on the head” idea from Seahawks marketing and the NFL overall.
I don’t need any more NFL merch but I went and got me some throwback merch because it’s all so freaking glorious
Titans look really, really good in the Oilers throwbacks today too.
Call me crazy but the NFL should have waited for the Titans-Texans game and had them both wear Oiler throwbacks. Road and home with helmets to match.
How cool would that have been?
Thanks CHA, I think your last point is the most important.
Geno is going to have to limit turnovers today. It should be a low scoring game. A Pick 6 or Fumble Return for a Touchdown could be the difference today.
Nice to see Levis hit Hopkins for a long TD after fumbling on his first possession.
Levis didn’t fumble
They put Malik Willis in for one play and he fumbled
Thanks, I am watching Red Zone and saw a Tennessee QB fumble. I forgot that Tennessee is inexplicably swapping QBs today.
Pretty hard to confuse Levis and Willis but fair enough!
I must not have been paying full attention
Wait. Qbs can fumble snaps? That’s not how I’ve been hearing it 🙃
Yeah, Dave Sycophant……er, Wyman told me it was the Center’s fault last week cuz “he’s a rookie”.
The Levis will be parking cars this time next year crowd aren’t having the best morning.
I know it’s VERY early for him but I’m wondering how nice it might have been to see Seattle take him with the 2nd first rounder.
To the hawks presenter who made his entire personality last draft season calling Levis “Lee vies.” Cheers to you. The joke/take sucked the first try and never got off the ground the other 10k times you did it.
Who was this person?
Not hawkblogger, not Jeff simmons both of whom I watch on their show, but one of their regulars.
It was like watching someone do the old bud Weiser (?) “Wasssup!” Bit but about two years later after the fact.
Was it the Walter White look a like?
Without verifying, it smells like that Evan Hill knob.
He’s the equivalent to a chihuahua. Barks until you just kind of nudge him out of the way with your foot.
Levi’s looking like he was worthy of pick at 20. (Cough, cough)
I’m so disappointed that we didn’t get any of the four QBs in this draft. I would have been happy with any one of them. Levis was sitting right there for us on multiple picks. It just stings.
Dallas beating the Rams by 30 nearing the half. That tells me 2 things:
1) the media will be slobbering all over the Cowboys tomorrow and will continue to do so until they play a true Super Bowl contender e.g. Eagles and lose
2) Rams are still likely to beat the Hawks again cuz McVay owns Carroll
Hate everything about this take….cuz it’s true.
No shockers among the inactive players
WR Cody Thompson
CB Kyu Blu Kelly
G Phil Haynes
LB Drake Thomas
OT McLendon Curtis
OT Raiqwon O’Neal
Dee Eskridge active, taking Thompson’s special teams snaps likely.
Will Eskridge get any snaps on offense? Means they take snaps away from Bobo and JSN to do it.
Hope not.
Why would you do that?
Would it just be a case of trying to prove it wasn’t a bad draft choice? I’d ask about showcasing him for a trade but no one’s gonna trade for the guy.
My fear is that Eskridge is going to take WR snaps away from out favorites JSN and Bobo. I was really hoping that Dee would be released but knew he would not.
You don’t produce on the field and get suspended for a Domestic Violence Policy violation should get all mediocre players released.
Exactly. A bit better than 1.5 targets per game he’s played here. It’s time to move on.
That makes sense but it would send a good message to other players if he was released.
Is McIntosh active?
No he’s still on IR
Not really ready to redraft 2023….but….
5. Spoon
20. Levis
37. Hall
52. Downs
…
Feeling better or worse.
It’s really early and Levis may end up struggling to adjust after the league adjusts him. However, if he continues to play well and ends up being a well above average quarterback we are going to regret him not getting taken for sure.
One of many….
Schneider was interested in Levis like those other QBs he was interested in, the Titans just caught us off guard, I’m sure.
If John was interested in Levis, he would of drafted him in the first round. You want the fifth year option for 1st round picks.
He just didnt see him as QBOTF. Shame, cause i wanted seahawks to draft him to develop this year
I’m thinking JP was being sarcastic
What about Levis today?!?!
Not at all surprised either. Dude’s a true gun slinging gridiron warrior
And Tennessee fans are loving it
Great start for Will Levis
It sucks, because I’m a fan of Levis and want him to do well…
…but the better he is, the worse I’ll feel as a Seahawks fan.
It’s funny that the narrative of Seattle being one of the toughest places to play is still a thing.
Excellent stand on 3rd down
There’s our boy Eskridge
Eskridge already contributing…. 🤦🏽♂️
Thanks Dee.
Walker killing it already.
Wide open lane for Walker
See Ken? Good things happen when you run NORTH!!!!
Really could use a touchdown here in the red zone
these throwbacks unis are bringing me much joy….
So many of our “wasted” timeouts come after big plays, it seems.
Seattle’s clock management is always so bad is this a Pete thing
Let’s punch it in here boys!!!
DPI
Gotta get it in. No more settling for 3 within the 15, please.
Nice move by Geno
Very nice Jake
Jets/Giants just went to overtime.
More Bobo!!!!!
More Bobo!!!
great start!
MO BOBO, BRO!
More BoBo
More Bobo! What a great first drive!
BOBOBOBOBOBO
Good call by Pete not challenging that catch
Mafe….
Giants just punted for the 13th time.
Brooks has been balling out lately
No way we don’t extend Jordyn.
Brooks is playing out of his mind right now
Damn. Brooks is playing his way into a nice new contract here.
Look at these D-HAWKS right now!!!
Really Pete?
Great blocking on that tunnel screen to JSN
Dee is the gift that keeps giving.
Less Eskridge!
it’s so predictable what play we run when we put him in the game
Lockett just doing lockett things
Is it me or does Joey Galloway look off today?
But, eskridge
Pete’s ego imo
I’d say trade bait but no one needs negative yards.
I hope this isn’t serious for Bradford. We need our offensive lineman to be healthy!
Geno really only knows how to throw to JSN behind the line
On the plus side, having Eskridge back means that JSN is hopefully free from the purgatory of screen passes four yards deep…
Bury that play at the bottom of the sound
O-line can’t catch a break with injuries.
Jsn nicely done.
Get up Bradford, please
They’ve really put pressure on Dee to play today.
Not a fan of that screen to JSN, but 1st down!
That was good Geno
Why are they calling a read option with Geno and having him run its terrible
Yeah that play made no sense at all
OOOOOOOOOHHHH! Tyler’s feeling feisty today!
All he does is…
Lockett as good as gold
And nice move by nifty feet Geno
great play by Geno — what a start, you can’t beat us in these unis…..
Make em permanent
💯 💯 💯
Beautiful play by Geno there. I have not been impressed by him this season but a very nice start today.
Great start! Let’s keep our foot on the gas!
Geno actually looking pretty good today!
This Browns defense is legit and our offense is rolling over them like they ain’t nuthin
when we’re rolling…the # of weapons this offense has is something else
Geno looks to be playing overly cautious to prevent TOs. Nice TD pass to Lockett
Geno very sharp so far today.
He’s been very aware in the pocket and doing a great job of extending the play and seeing downfield.
Where has this been the past few weeks?
Lockett is so consistent always there to make a play
Holy buckets! Seattle reacting aggressively to bad playcalls that get blown up–like that asinine run by Eskridge. They’ve been hilariously over-cautious in the Red Zone this season, but not today!
Such a great start.
That teeder to Tyler looked like prime Russ
So… not a hold by Pocic?
totally a hold
I hate Roger G. The refs are insanely awful, and holding is so inconsistent it’s disgusting. Refs are an absolute WWF joke…
That pursuit angle by Love was awful.
Atrocious defensive series
Seattle still terrible with the screen plays
The song that never ends
Aaaaaand we have a new nick for Love, “Surfboard”.
It is the waxing gibbous moon before all hallows eve…
Strange things are afoot!
I was about to call a Seahawks Blowout but that was some bad defense right there.
when you saw it was just Diggs btwn Njoku in the end zone…did anyone think there was a chance he’d stop him…..
Maybe we’ll get better effort out of him if we give him an extension?
😞
Wrong team with the TE concepts.
Can’t believe seattle is paying the safety position so much and they are just terrible
Peters in at RT
Geno dropped that right into DK’s breadbasket
Great play by Geno he just needs to play with in himself just don’t play dumb
even that redzone throw to DK that didn’t work – i was good w it -= got rid of the ball quickly, no chance for a pick
So good.
This redzone offense this season is brutal
i want that throwback hoodie Pete is wearing
I’d be shocked if they weren’t available for sale about Monday
A lot of blitzing by the defense. Worked the first series not so much the last one.
Nice coverage surf board
Not much I hate worse than giving up a first down on third and long
Remember when everyone copied our tackling?
I don’t.
Diggs going for the ankle.
3rd and long? No prob.
Seattle falling into the same trap Cleveland has on D: being too aggressive. Calm down and double Cooper, and let your 4 rush, make Walker fit it into a tight window….
17 pts in the 1st quarter?
I was scanning the scores and assumed that I had the start time wrong. 17 pints, had to be the 4th quarter.
Can’t watch today, but that seems promising.
It’s mostly great.
Getting killed on screens.
I agree… 17 pints before the 4th quarter is very impressive.
Up by ten. Where’s the crowd noise?
Woolen with the INT!
And I think he was touched before the ball came loose while he was on the ground
Will the NFL screw us on this?
Absolutely.
Looked like Woolen had his helmet touched before ball knocked ou
looked like interception and then a fumble on Riq
looks like the Brown’s ball to me
He’s down and the play is over the moment he has possession and his ass on the ground
He didn’t “fumble” until he rolled over
glad i am wrong
Will be an interesting review here
Kirk cousin’s torn Achilles. I think he is out of a contract at the end of the season going to be very interesting to see who signs him
This sucks for Cousins. Hate to see him go out like that. I know a lot of people don’t think much of Kirk but he is a decent QB.
I’m going to right now call that they’ll say Woolen fumbled after the INT, even though he made no obvious move to get up and progress the play.
did he even have complete control, tho?
I think it’s just a “reception”… no interception.
nevermind…
Thrilled to be incorrect!
If I were a Browns fan, I would be pretty angry about that call.
So you’d be angry over the correct call?
His body was touched before the ball came out and his ass was on the ground he is down right there.
Did you see that last angle they showed? It was very obvious.
I did not.
Well there’s this 3 and out.
Must everything be 20 yards downfield? Remember when we could utilize the TEs for chunk gains?
Why are there so many Fade down the sideline play calls? Use the TEs over the middle?
Middle of the field is wide open and you throw it to the sideline why
For real. This is one area where Geno was a great change last year.
He’s looking for the big plays no easy throws
Geno has not been seeing the field well this year. That is why he looks hesitant in the pocket.
Thankfully today the oline has been giving hom enough time to find someone to throw to.
They have 3 capable TE as pass catchers as well as a first round pick who should feast there. I don’t get it.
Remember when the seahawk defense was good against the run? Fun times
Defense looks terrible again
Third and long now get a damned stop!
Everyone on the NFLN was talking up the Ravens this morning and now they are laying an egg.
What a horrible call
And that was really big because we get the ball at midfield if I don’t make that shit call
They let the play against Metcalf go in the endzone and call that one? Yuck.
Yep. Brutal
ridiculous call…woolen doing exactly what he’s supposed to there. takes away a turnover
Love is so bad he’s almost hapless
I repeat, the suspect is hapless!
come now… he’s *completely* devoid of Hap?
First keep the game close trash call there in aria
Nice … on Riq and now the defense is throwing it back to most of the last few years
Very late flag Jesus
Run Defense looks incredible today
Well, this is less than optimal. When is this team going to put together both a solid offensive and defensive performance?
Could you imagine if quandre hit someone?- Dave wyman
I almost literally can not.
My deepest sympathies that you’re stuck with another week of Dave Wyman
The missus has a work thing so I can’t be dropping curse words in the house. So its me and Dave in my shop….
Hey I know let’s cover Cooper with Bobby Wagner
it looked like Diggs just decided not to cover Cooper on that play!
That was the perfect screen shot of a huge hole in coverage between Wagner, Diggs and Adams lol.
Sure. Let’s do a bunch of penalties.
isn’t it great for the advertisers that the game is a close one, though???
Won’t someone consider the ad reps?
And maybe Vegas has something to do with it as well
You know halftime bets, in game bets et cetera
Won’t someone consider the sports books?
that PI call on 4th down was huge
And there’s your NFL making a call to keep the game close horrible call on the pass interference our guys have been mugged worse than that today. But see if we get the ball at midfield and score again the games out of hand so we gotta keep it close to keep people watching
Absolute shit pass interference call
100% spot on.
Every damn game.
Feels like one of those all-pro backup QB games special from Pete
Need a 4+ minute drive and a score. No confidence in the D to prevent hurry up points.
And there’s the referees again
Don’t want it to be a two score game before halftime!
Steve and Dave are trying to figure out if the offense has figured something out with our defense. Thankfully these two are in the case.
It’s the SCREEN PASSES!!!
they gonna show the replay of that penalty?
No?
yeah exactly – where was it
Isn’t it interesting that they show some of the penalties on replay but others they don’t. Gee I wonder why that is?
Has seattle lost the ability to use the TE’s
4 yard screen pass on 2nd and 20?
We’re SO giving up the lead before the half.
Whatever the opposite of iron sharpens iron…..that’s our screen game on both sides.
Sponge wets sponge.
😀
Dickson for all-pro this year.
Schwartz > Hurtt. Cleveland adjusting, Seattle just fumbling. Our coaching staff is not NFL level…
Momentum has shifted in favor of Browns. Both offense and defense trending in reverse
Don’t worry, if the browns get too far out in front the refs will swing the momentum back.
I usually hate blaming refs and I’m annoyed with myself, but these guys are horrid.
TWO holds on the CLE OL. Two. Both uncalled.
Maybe they only call illegal hands to the face
yep…on the center…um, wait, no… the guard!
Well we would have known how do we seen a replay
* If we had seen a replay
Such a streaky team
Of course PJ Walker is having a career game. Duh.
That bullshit fourth down past interference call changed this entire game
nice to see J Adams have such an awesome game, go PEACOCK!!
Mafe!
Mafe! Good job, young man.
Mafe my mofo!
Mafe with a great play
That was Dewand Jones he just punked.
That’s for not finishing Senior Bowl week.
Mo Mafe!
Mafe. Five weeks.
Can no one else return punts? Jesus… Catch, hop around, get tackled, repeat
Charbonnet rumbling stumbling downfield
The combination of Bill Vinovich and his crew and Daryl Johnston and the Fox announcing crew is insufferable
Why DJ Dallas is in team.. He is indecisive, has no speed and worthless othwrwise
Geno and DK really struggling today
How do we not get a first down on third and 2?
When your OL can’t open a lane….
why in the world would you run it there?!
What is it about Geno to DK? Every one of his passes that is no where near the WR is a DK target.
Aaaaannnddd a pick 🙁
That’s 5 games in a row with a sack for Mafe. Have to think he’s surpassed Taylor this year and made him expendable, especially because DT can’t set the edge or stop the run.
Maybe we should tell Geno that the defensive backs are tight ends. That way the ball will never go near them.
And another wasted scoring opportunity thanks to Smith’s inability to be a quality quarterback
I’ll wait to reserve judgment until the Geno defenders tell me why it wasn’t his fault.
How nice to have had someone like Levis to throw long TDs to DK like he did to Hopkins today. One was while he was backing up, being hit and falling down.
The final TD, thrown downfield while back-pedalling, was world class physical skill
You definitely have to come away with atleast 3 there.
Unfortunately he stared at DK a little too long on that one.
My predictions for the Second Half
More Bobo!
More Mafe!
More Charbonnet!
Hey Pete here’s a suggestion unload on your quarterback who is failing instead of the rest
*refs
Curious to know what he is so pissed about.
Maybe he saw the Levis highlights from today?
defensive lineman lined up in neutral zone
Same as when he overprotected Russ. It was always everyone’s fault but the QB. That Browns DB didn’t touch DK, he made a great play.
Of course. Geno staring down his receivers.
Geno with another turnover not surprised at all
OMG, shoot me now! Geno sucks so goddamn bad! Three awful throws on that drive! I’d trade next years fourth and Geno for PJ Walker at this point….
What’s this week’s reason? Bad vibes? Moon in uranus?
Genos got his head up there, not the moon…
Unusual late October Sun in his eyes
How can you stay with a quarterback that keeps blowing scoring opportunities?
That was a sure field goal you have to be careful at that point
Another side effect of that is Geno is going to be in his head the rest of the game now with that pick. Say what you want about Wilson he was able to forget and move on quick after he screwed up and not let it effect him the rest of the game.
Draft a QB
I really hope we have the opportunity to draft a QB with as much upside as Levis.
I was about to wonder aloud what kind of trade it would take to get Levis. Then I remembered that if the Hawks wanted him at all, they had ample opportunity to draft him.
Oh, I didn’t realize Levis was actually playing today. And quite.
For the love of heaven, PLEASE!!
A thousand times, YES!!! This is just like watching TJack spray the ball everywhere but where his receivers were…
Yep
It’s time
Rattler
Is Pete to loyal with Geno and just keeps sticking with him and is he gonna keep making excuses for his bad plays
Why was Pete mad on the Geno pick? Still poor play by Geno, but wtf are the refs doing?
https://twitter.com/MikeDugar/status/1718743851693961725
I don’t get it….only 11 guys on field….
The edge near the bottom of the screen is lined up offsides.
Ah, figures they didn’t call that one…
Ahhh, that’s what it was. As you said, it was a poor play by Geno that was completely avoidable.
Your quarterback is more of a problem Pete and that’s saying something because the officials suck in this game
Next half they’ll let the Brown’s D-lineman start in our backfield.
I hope Seattle adjusts at halftime, they should be winning by two TDs….
Yep at least 10 points
But I’ll say it again if they don’t call that bullshit pass interference on Woolen maybe this game is entirely different
This is the real Geno some good plays alot more terrible and negative plays and TD/Int ratio is 40/60 maybe worse
I also want to see more Walker in the 2nd half.
Walker is probably dinged up. Charbonnet playing well too…
Thought Geno was going for the 5 games in a row streak like Mafe with ints. instead of sacks. But he didn’t have one in the Giants game when he was injured and had no OL. Almost all of these are just bad decisions by him and not because of pressure.
Second half adjustments:
Put Safety’s into game
Put TE’s into game
Stop forcing ball to DK
I’m convinced Hawkblogger is getting a piece of Geno’s contract or he’s just plain stupid.
Hawkblogger always likes to point out when people “confirm their priors”, but he refuses to admit that his Geno takes are getting worse by the week.
Pam Oliver is bad at her job
Rope bridge quarterback.
More like string than rope at this point
He’s more like the West Seattle bridge.
What a terrible play call for 3rd and short
reminding me of Rams 1st game
need the Seahawks to get some momentum
Fucking run the ball on 3-1 if you are a Goddamn bully running team!!!
Yeah I thought Pete Carroll was a run the ball kind of coach
Derick Hall is starting to pop in plays
Witherspoon has been super quiet today.
Adams as well.
No surprise, it was Adams who was covering Njoku and got blocked out of the play….
18 million dollars for that
I’m too sad to cry…
another screen play what a surprise
All momentum has been lost this game could well be the same
I can’t believe how much better Clevelands OC is scheming than Waldron. This is a clinic….
Great effort by diggs on that screen to njoku. Wtf.
Adams too
There’s your 32 million dollar expenditure on 2 safeties
Another pathetic effort by Dre Jones on the long screen play.
Here is our rope bridge quarterback in action.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPGxSotEa-c
PJ Walker. At home. SMH.
A good play by Darrell Taylor!
Why are we leaving guys that wide open?!
Terrible. Just terrible. The back half of the defense is criminally poor.
For only 42 million dollars this year
No screen game on offense. Can’t defend the screen on defense.
Third and long so this will probably be a touchdown
Both OC and DC are getting schooled and Pete has no balls. Same old shit
The 2020 – 2022 defense is back with a vengeance.
Oh hell yes, Rush music going into commercial! That would be the best thing about this game for the last hour or so
This is why PC was upset in the interception
https://x.com/MikeDugar/status/1718743851693961725?s=20
So he’s begging the refs to bail Geno out?
Do you think he’s that angry if Geno doesn’t throw the interception?
ah… so that will be the excuse for Geno… he thought he had a free play!
It doesn’t excuse the int. Awful throw. But that is a basic call by refs. I mean they literally have a line ref that’s sole purpose is watching that.
I’ve seen enough of Geno. He is who is he. I know it won’t happen but I’d really like to see Drew Lock.
Genos pick cost is at least 3 points. Those points looming large right now.
He looks scared and frustrated. This doesn’t engender Belief…
At what point do you see what you have in Lock? Geno is the safe below average option with zero upside. On paper looking at our skill position players and recent investment in the Oline. This should be a top 5 offense.
We know what we have in Lock. The only difference is that he is more inspiring. When he played when Wg
Geno got hurt, offense looked on their feet.
Ugh another closey wosey – geno needs to be a bit better
Lockett open on the cross. Sigh.
My God, Geno is terrible. He’s losing this game all by himself.
Why do I never feel like the game is ours when we get that first quick td every week?
Sorry folks, Geno isn’t the answer
Ya think???
But Pete will stay stubbornly with him till we get to about 5 and 10
Geno wrote back
Q: How do you sabotage an NFL Offense that is loaded with solid Tight Ends and Wide Receivers?
A: Geno Smith😞
Fing Geno!!
Another Geno turnover not surprised at all
That ball never should have been thrown and when he did throw it it was behind the receiver
So much for our run D…
Geno.
Geno.
Geno.
So is our boy Dave Wyman blaming the receiver for Geno throwing into double coverage?
Talking about yards. Cause you can trade in yards for points like a chuckee cheese
How long is seattle gonna stick with Geno
Run defense getting exposed for what it is too
So over Geno and Waldron
Really quiet game from Edwards Jr
Shoulda mentioned him sooner
He had a big penalty though…
The Cleveland Browns walked into Lumen and dominated us. SMH
With yet another backup quarterback doing it to us
Ugh another closey wosey – geno needs to be a bit (lot) better
Mafe looking explosive which is great
With you pran. I’m over Waldron
Congrats, Hurtt. You’ve made PJ Walker into Lamar Jackson.
All-pro backup QB
What’s the real Lamar gonna look like…
Run D was never better. Good offenses did not need to rush against Hawks and bad teams are bad teams.
this is so frustrating
i cant see how we can continue to have Geno next season moving forward
Seahawks have no future QB in the wings and no matter how pro Seahawks media spin it, Geno is not the answer
Watching Levis throw 4 TDs is also a kick in the groin
This is geno’s season pace:
19 tds. 14 ints.
The hardest of passes.
You’re just a hater etc etc
yes, you just *want* him to fail so you’ll be right!
Where’s the penalty flag ref?
Pete HATES turnovers. How much patience will he have with how Geno is playing. Run the ball more?
he’ll just order Waldron to dial back the offense and make it more conservative, rather than bench Geno.
💯
Because admitting hes wrong is something Peter’s not good at e.g. Adams, Eskridge, etc
Admittedly I’m not great at it. But I try.
But Geno always finds a way to turn the ball over even then
Defense is struggling overall, but Mafe has 4 QB hits. He looks to be taking the 2nd year leap.
Only for Peasants. Diff rules for favorites
Yes he’s having a hell of a game
Now about those safeties….
Geno cost us 6 points already….in a tight game, that’s inexcusable.
Gonna be alot of excuses from Pete after this game
If pj walker and geno switched places. This would be the exact same game.
Geno staring down his receivers…
Geno telegraph plays.. When Geno is jittery as one can see no point in playing him
seahawks in a nutshell, playing down to worse teams to get an exciting win, losing to regular teams and occasional win against a good team. rarely having a good win in all aspect’s of a game offense, defense special teams
dodged a pick 6
Wow. Our offense sucks.
another dropped int from the defense
The Bengals are currently holding SF at bay. If the team can remove their heads from their arses, we could be atop the division. Instead, we’re letting Geno throw 15 yds into double coverage on 3rd and 2.
That one is not necessarily on Geno
But that is one of those should have been a turnover lucky Geno kind of plays
Remember when we were ahead 14 to 0
Good times
Dickson is the MVP for seattle
You are a badly coached team if your punter is your MVP. And your QB sucks.
Thats what this team is
Hilarious! JSN runs wrong route, TV plays Zeppelins Communication Breakdown….
Well played…
VERY
did they play Nobody”s Fault but Mine after his last int?
+1
Somebody messed up that one. My guess by Geno’s reaction it was JSN but impossible to know for sure.
But Geno telegraphed the play.
Earlier in the game I thought we were getting Good Geno today. Turns out he’s always just Geno.
This team is bang average. It’s frustrating because they can look great at times on both sides of the ball. But then they can look equally bad at times.
Im sorry but Geno doesnt not enstill any confidence. I think I am learning that we have two lackluster QB’s cause Geno is purely average and costing us this game and if Lock is never even an afterthought then he is obviously not good enough. Man disappointing.
Will Pete bench Geno today?
That’s about as likely as Allen firing Carrol.
Pete praying for a game against bad team can’t come soon enough. It’s going to be lot of pain for fans next couple weeks
This is at best a 7 and 10 team considering the schedule
When’s that on the schedule next? AZ…
I read somewhere they currently have the third toughest schedule the rest of the way.
Cowboys, 49ers, Eagles. That will be fun.
And Rams at LA, 49ers twice in 3 weeks, @Ravens, even @Titans could be tough if Levis plays like he played today and so does Geno. Possibly the Commanders at home in 2 weeks could be a win if Geno doesn’t give it away like he’s been doing since the Giants game.
This team man
Preparing myself for another home loss to a backup QB.
Seattle hasn’t scored since 1st quarter. And Carrol thinks running the ball will fix it.
Because of course he does.
Not on 3rd and 1 though
You take out a pitcher when he’s having a bad game.
Not only to change the flow of the game, but also so that he can take a breath – not completely ruin his confidence.
Feels like Geno could use a reset.
The press has been extremely soft on Geno the last two weeks.
Seattle press always soft
The press is soft on all Seattle sports teams
Jerry dipoto would have been absolutely eviscerated in Philadelphia or Boston or New York he probably wouldn’t even have a job anymore.
Within striking distance of my favorite stat:
2:1 time of possession
That’s the seahawks defense we’ve come to know and despise
It’s not to mention that offense that has specialized in 3 and outs since the first quarter or turnovers
As much as I do not like Adams he had a very legit beef on that play
But you know referees
…time of possession : (
One thing is very clear to me… Sfefanski is 100x the play caller that Waldron is.
Ken Walker has 7 carries. It’s the fourth quarter.
Unacceptable.
I’ve been harping on this all year.
They are missing Nwosu a lot in this one. He is underrated for his run defense.
Seahawks should go wild cat and all jet sweeps hahahah
That 3rd down defense and peacocks performance.. Lol
This game is over unless Browns does some stupid thing
FOX oing to commercial playing Montell Jordan, focused on Geno…
🎵 This is how he blew it…🎵
I feel like, after doing nothing all game, that Miles Garrett will erupt now
Hmmmmm you seem to have been correct sir
Burning another TO in a tight game….WTF Waldron, Geno, Carrol….get your poop in a group!
Now let’s burn valuable time outs. What a joke.
DL may blow up anytime for 15 yards
We need to see more Charbonnet.
Hell yes! Charbonnet wants to eat so feed him!
Yes. This indeed.
Well that was inevitable
Why is Geno throwing at DKs feet every time?!
All. Game. Long. At his feet or 10 feet over his head.
Its getting hard to watch Geno now. He is not there mentally.
Sure. Garret. Why not.
Run is working..okay let’s make bonehead Geno throw 3 straight plays.
On the flipside, even defense cannot catch some of those throws.
Geno ain’t it, Drew ain’t it, we need a QB to take us to the promised land !
How do we know Drew ain’t it? The only time we’ve seen him all season was one series when Geno was out during the Giants game. And he threw a long strike to DK on target for a change to get them down the field for a TD.
Charbonet is great but is Walker hurt?
Let’s see if we can stop the run..
Spoiler: we can not stop the run.
Time for that supposedly improved seahawk run defense to appear
Looks like Disslys brain dead false start might have been the nail in the coffin….
4/12 on 3rd down. Gross.
Niners about to lose and we could have been all alone in first place if we had a win today. The good news is it’ll give Pete a chance to say we’re right there for the division we’re right in this thing
If we don’t win that’ll be a killer with them losing.
And we didn’t expect them to throw. We know their screen game, could not stop. Wish could have run more yada yada
Gotta replace Geno. Should have been done it earlier in the 2nd half, not to mention the last game…. with Drew, at least he mixes it up gives another look for the defense. He brings a run threat. This offense in the 2nd half, teams adjust and shut us down, how many games now? Also on the OC.
Geno is an unbelievable TO machine every time he drops back. Don’t get why he’s not been pulled for some time to watch from the sideline. Should have a pick six to go with the other ints.
Pete will never bench Geno unless he gets injured he’s to loyal with him
Because Pete Will Not Ever go against one of “his guys” unless they’re out and can’t play, probably blaming it on he doesn’t want to start a controversy in case the backup plays well and the fans will be split.
This team is its own worst opponent
Is hand to the face a “point of emphasis” this year? It feels like they are looking for it.
I don’t know but keeping your hands away from a guy’s helmet is pretty basic crap
Chance for the division lead, plays like shite. I wish I wasn’t so used to it.
Come on… WTF are we doing???
Undisciplined football team
It was okay when we were Super Bowl contenders because we just had more talent than anyone else
It’s not okay anymore
Yes! INT!
Adams again with the head play lmfao
Okay Smith here’s your shot. What are you gonna do with it?
You have decent field position you have time and you have time outs there is no excuse for not at least getting this into overtime
this is STRESSFULLL
Plenty of time to run the ball. Especially outside
Charbonnet was ripping off big runs there
That’s using your head!
This team has been thoroughly out coached in every facet.
But as Knox said, Football players make football plays…Jamal Adams with the deflection….using his head lol?!
You can’t make this stuff up…
Is that where John madden got it from, chuck Knox?
Don’t know who said it first, but Knox used to say that cliche whenever they eked out a close win…
OMG.,. off his helmet?!
That’s too perfect!
Great a turnover but the offense won’t be able to capitalize on it tho with Geno at the helm
No more excuses Geno. Go win the game….
This last drive defines Geno. Prove us wrong.
I’ll admit I have little optimism based on what he’s shown since Q2.
That’s Jamal Adams using his there. 🤣🤣🤣
Freaking Jamal Adams Helmet again for the biggest play of the game!
LOLOLOL!
When the ball hitting Adams in the head is actually a good thing.
Well whatever happens, they can’t say they didn’t have plenty of opportunities to win this one.
In related news, Jamal Adams is out with a concussion.
lol..that’s awesome
Got to get into the end zone. No OT.
I like this drive
Geno totally locked on Metcalf again.
Horrible decision to throw that
And a horrible throw
That’s more than a few horrible decision/throw combos this game
Why does he keep forcing the ball to DK.
Dreading another sack/fumble, int. or penalty.
Happy to be wrong!
LET’S GO!!!
LET’S GO JSN!!
I love that play!
Let the rookie do what he do best!
No that’s pulling a game out of your ass
And we will be all alone in first place in the NFC West
And Smith still sucks
Now the defense just needs to hold it.
All can be true. 100%. Pete will make Geno just look like the hero of the game of course, and justified for staying with him the rest of the season no matter what.
100% agree on the Geno spin
Seahawks dodged a bullet and if the Seahawks make the playoffs its poor qb performances like today that they cant luck out anymore
He doesn’t suck. He’s really (mostly) adequate.
But when he asks for a +$30 million check next year, the team gotta tell him they ain’t write that back
Seahawks showing some real mettle here
A JSN screen for the win!
A freaking screen pass?
JSN and DK BLOCK!!!
we were very lucky that DK was flagged for a hold there
*wasn’t
Yes indeed. He held, but he let go in time and I guess that’s now legal in Goodells WWF…I mean NFL…
Great drive.
Good for the home fans to get to see the Win
Tariq Wollen wouldve had a pick there but its riq wollen this year so hes much worse
Just like Theon Greyjoy, Riq is missing something.
Taylor!
Holy crap it’s Darrell Taylor
Joe Burrow completed 87% of his passes against the 49ers.
I thought SF defense was good and Purdy was a hall of fame QB what happened
And that’s the game boyos!
LETS GOOOOOOO
5-2 feels pretty good
This first place Seahawks team sucks 😂
Draft Michael Pratt.
I still think they’re average but I’m glad to be wrong
Gotta enjoy the wins when you can get them.
that’s a good scrappy win – — Browns don’t suck. great to see JSN getting involved, and once again – this D closing out a game w QB sacks and pressures. That would not have happened the last couple years.
It was rough to watch for a while after the blistering start, but they pulled it out. I’ll take the win.
Finally Adams Helmet did it..
The irony is almost legendary… Now if he just donates his coffee cup to charity…
It only took two years to get it out of his ar$e.
Fair play Taylot. Big play earlier tto string out a run by Goodwin and then that monstter sack. Soon as I give up on him. He gives me something to gnaw on.
Geno shouldn’t get any excuses for the way he played this game even with the win his decision making is awful for most of the game terrible throws and dropped Int’s too
I will enjoy the ride, but will brace for impact when it crashes.
That screen pass in the red zone to JSN for the win is the ultimate Waldron middle finger to Seahawks fans hahaha
Brilliant call
I will never lament a victory….. but I’ll sure as hell hold those not helping that effort in contempt.
I think Taylor Swift gave Mahommes the flu.
Russ loves Swift
Credit to the Browns: way better than I imagined. Give them a QB and they’re real contenders.
Wonder if they held KW out due to the calf injury flaring up during the game? He didn’t practice Wed. and Thursday, but had 8 carries for 66 yards, over 8 yards a carry before they pulled him.
49ers about to lose to the Bengals and to think we almost beat them a couple of weeks ago
So happy SF is loosing and getting their butt kick by Cincy
man, the clock sure has struck midnight for Purdy and the Niners….bengals cruising to a win
Frustrating for the entire middle-part of the game, but I can’t say that wasn’t an exciting last few minutes.
You’ll love this.
Russell Wilson 12/19 114 yards 3TD 0 INT SACKED 6 TIMES FOR 27 YARDS.
