Seahawks defense 7 sacks, 9 tackle for loses, 13 QB hits, 2 ints, 8 pass defensed, 2 forced fumbles

Your not winning to many games when your being dominated up front like that. People want to blame Palmer but damn the guy has no shot in hell. Don't matter who's back there you need to fix the o-line. Prettiest house on the block doesn't mean a damn thing if the foundation is cracked

But talking about the line isn't sexy it's always blame the QB. Drew Stanton ain't making this team a contender and if you think he's a better option your delusional

A good, mobile QB can make an OL look better than it really is.

Russell Wilson has a dominating offensive line lets not forget. He can run but he doesn't look to run. You also need to be able to run the ball and the line opens up some big holes for Lynch

Read PFF's write up/rankings on the offensive lines this year. Seattle is 31/32, as in second to worst. I believe they allow more pressure than any other OL in the league (around 33% of dropbacks).

They're not good. Wilson makes up for it by extending plays.

BOTH of Seattle's starting tackles are depth players in this game. You wouldn't know it to look at them, because Wilson and a strong running game (and our terrible, terrible OLBs) cover up that fact.

Yes, Russell Okung is one of the better left tackles in the NFL, but I think you'll find that he was inactive tonight.

Dominating OL? I saw Wilson running circles around our guys and making big plays. If it wasn't for him, we would have had just as many sacks.

Are more the bad throws from palmer then good throws,
Offensive line is a joke but even when he had time he was innacurate,2nd interception?underneqth throw to Fitzgerald??
The coach week after weeks is showing why he waited 30 years to become a head coach.
Massie was our best offensive lineman player last season and he didnt play a snap.
Instead sowell a journeyman udfa has a chance to play and showing his talent to all the world.i cant understand how a supposed super guru coach can take this decisions.i m not even considering the questionable playcall

Yup. Draft all the elite QBs you want and watch them turn into kevin kolb because they have NO offensive line. Sowell got dominated and thrown around. Winston is getting blown up by guys 100 lbs lighter than him. Sendlein just isnt strong. College is serviceable and purely average. Potter isnt strong enough and I would assume fanaika sucks too but I didnt notice much of him.

I agree with him, its far more than a QB problem. No holes for Rbs, offensive linemen falling all over your feet.

Palmer is a liability but I think 99% of people would be with the offensive line being this bad.

So... Is your argument that Seattle's second-string offensive line is "dominant"?

From what I saw, there was plenty of penetration into the Seattle backfield by our front seven; it's just that Lynch and Wilson are so creative and finding pockets to run to/through and are difficult to bring down.

Agree can't remember how many times they turned what should have been loses into gains last night.

When they are healthy yes they are dominate right now there banged up. Do we need to talk about the last time these two teams met?

I'm not saying Palmer is great he's not but he ain't getting any help.Anyone remember David Carr? He was amazing in college and the Texans damn near got him killed

I thought Seattle started 2 backup tackles.
