Post Seahawks Overreaction Thread

[PJ1]

Our D showed up for sure and played well. Could have had more sacks if they would just rush under control a little bit more. The Hags shut down Conner and the run game with very physical play. Would like to have seen more of Benson and DeMercado than we did. I know we like Kyler to stay in the pocket if he can but I would have had him roll out more. He was not as decisive today as in previous weeks.

We played like crap and they won by 7. I ain’t scared.

 

[Hoodhero]

This teams whole season feels like adversity is wants needed to awaken beast mode. I would not be shocked to see them come out with vengeance against Vikings smh

Double-check your math.

Double-check your math.

I carried the one, used an abacus, and a stick. Has to be right.

James Conner is starting to look his age. He has averaged less than 3 ypc in 3 of the last 4 games. He isn't the reason we lost, but that is the closest thing I have to an overreaction.

 

[JosiahLee]

Had a bad feeling about this game going in but didn’t want to say it. The bye most certainly stole some of this team’s mojo. Funny how I thought Seattle’s win last week against SF may have reinvigorated them. Momentum is a funny thing.

With that said, I suspect the first loss in 42 days will focus this team and I fully expect a back bounce performance going into Minnesota.

I’m cool with bringing Budda back, but not JC.

I appreciate JC’s bully-ball, but man I would love to see Benson & Emari get more touches. They will at least break a very long gain. We need speed.

Saw a mock draft with the kid from Boise state dropping to us in the 20s. Likely not a need pick (but the dlinemen left didn’t seem like impact players), but man that would be something in this offense.

I thought Kyler sucked today, but he was pretty awesome the previous four games. To me, he’s still a work in progress under Gannon. The rest of the season will tell us whether or not he can be the man for a playoff team every year that can actually contend or more of a Kirk Cousins, who makes the playoffs on and off but doesn’t really have “it” to make us a year in, year out contender.

If he makes the playoffs this year he will show that he can be the man for a playoff team every year?

How so?

Eking into the playoffs in a down year for the rest of the division is PURE Kirk Cousins.

Winning a playoff game at home against Minny or Green Bay or Washington (all rematches) would tell us something about Kyler for the future. Less than that I dunno.

I think it at least buys him another year for me to see if he can do even better with more weapons (which I’d hope to God we’d finally spend some money on to get). I love 85, but Marv leaves a lot to be desired as a rookie and the other WRs make zero impact. Also could still use a better O-line.

Tough game but seattle's pass rush was a real problem today between the sacks and the holds they were getting lots of negative plays.

Tight game if the safety that wasn't was called a safety I feel like we probably win. That pick by Kyzir was so close just not there. Even the near TD throw to Marv was just so close but no cigar

Kyler obviously made a horrible decision and throw on the picksix.

I hope he's ok I was surprised there was no flag on that play not Williams falling on him but the reason the helmet came off is the guy who tackled him got his hand up under the back of the helmet so when he went down, it pulled the helmet off. I guess they decided not a facemask so they didn't throw it.

It turned out that wasn't the big one it was Williams falling on Kyler looked like an abdomen injury

 

[Russ Smith]

that was a freakin safety tho any way you slice it

I have to admit after 50 years of watching the NFL I still don't get some rules. Is not the intent of grounding to prevent the QB from just throwing the ball into the ground to avoid a sack or safety? Because that's what Geno did, he was NOT throwing the ball to the TE. I know the guy was 8 yards away or whatever and as Sanchez said smart enough to run towards the ball to act like he was the intended guy, but Geno was throwing the ball down to avoid the sack.

But I guess if there's someone nearby they don't call it. Kyler did it later when DeMercado fell down and same thing no Grounding

 

[Russ Smith]

I can see us losing to Minny and then beating Seattle at home.

I actually think we're going to play the Vikings tough, obviously they're really good but their defense is sort of falling off a bit now. ANother tough place to play, very loud.

 

[Russ Smith]

and kyler sucked today when it counted - on more than one occasion

petzing didn't throw the interception - and gannon didn't throw it 5 feet above McBride's head in the enzone - those were money plays that money qbs make

im not over kyler - some feel vindicated when he has a good game - others when he doesn't - but he is special and nearly unstoppable when he's in the zone - best qb we've had that wasn't already 30 something when we got him

but he sucked today

The high throw to McBride was one of those short QB plays, he had to throw it over a DL and he wanted to get something on it afraid to loop it and have someone get there and pick it.

Either had to drop down and throw it from the side, or was going to be a tough throw for him at his size

 

[Russ Smith]

On the picksix, terrible decision and throw but to me that whole thing blew up on 2nd down. We had Benson going wide and we had blockers in front, we had that first down, but someone, not sure if it was a WR or a TE missed their block and that guy took Benson down short of the sticks. As that play happened I thought easy first down but one missed block blew up the play, 2 plays later was the picksix

Also forgot, as mentioned in the game thread, Dortch in particular really has to learn to work back to Kyler when he's flushed out of the pocket. That one play near the sideline that was nearly picked that was all on Dortch he didn't come back making it a very long throw on the run.

Marv was good, Wilson had that terrific catch, McBride had a big game, but Dortch had several mistakes.

I thought Paris had a tough game, gave up quite a bit of pressure.

 

[HairZach]

I'm very curious about how well Jonah Williams performed, Beachum has been lights out the last few games, and Williams' first game back was our worst OL performance of the season.

 

[kerouac9]

I think it at least buys him another year for me to see if he can do even better with more weapons (which I’d hope to God we’d finally spend some money on to get). I love 85, but Marv leaves a lot to be desired as a rookie and the other WRs make zero impact. Also could still use a better O-line.

I cannot possibly imagine sinking more resources into the offense.

I wouldn’t rule out going OL on Day 2. Don’t think anybody should tbh.

 

[Harry]

I suspect if when the season began and we weren’t talking playoffs, we’d be happy to play a meaningful game at this point. I believe the Cards are well ahead of Ossenfort’s rebuilding plan. They still have a depth problem and several holes. Nonetheless they often exceed expectations. The Vikings game may be more competitive than expected. Watching the Seattle game film could lead them into getting complacent about the Cards’ ability. They have previously played down to their weaker opponents. I’m not sure how the Seattle game plan got so weird. The Cards played other games where the run failed early but they continued to press it, wearing down the opposition by the fourth quarter. In this game they got pass happy, playing into Seattle’s strength. The wet & cold may have contributed to the Cards’ failure to get motivated to play. We’ve seen Murray get discouraged when pressured early. Hopefully he’ll eventually get past that. The Oline got manhandled and the Cards failed to adjust their play calling to slow the rush. Regardless of how the Vikings game goes, we will learn a great deal about this game when Seattle visits. Do the Cards play revenge motivated or get dominated again? Does the game plan focus on their weaknesses? I don’t think Connor is tired. He looked fine before the bye and likely came out strong. It’s hard to run with poor blocking. Bouncing back is a characteristic of good teams. Time will tell.

 

[Stout]

James Conner is starting to look his age. He has averaged less than 3 ypc in 3 of the last 4 games. He isn't the reason we lost, but that is the closest thing I have to an overreaction.

Some on here are clamoring for a 3 year extension. Not a snowball's chance. I want him re-signed--unless he totally falls apart down the stretch--but not for 3 years.

 

[Oklahoma Card]

The Cardinals didn't put much effort into establishing their run, which is their bread and butter, and it made them a lot easier to defend.

This!!! Kyler can be great when protected by running the ball. It didn't seem like we tried.
