Seahawks at Cardinals gameday thread 11-6-22

[Buckybird]

I miss Boomer Esiason and Ernie Jones.

I personally know Ernie & friends with him here in Dallas so I’m going to text him this to see if I can get a laugh from him

Just stated the obvious he was in shotgun no way for him to throw it backward to Dortch lined up on the line, if your gonna run it he has to know to throw it laterally or backwards to Connor just common sense…

We failed to execute on a poorly designed and idiotic play.

Given we throw the ball at or behind the LOS more than anyone else in the NFL, I wouldnt say it was obvious. Also, wasn’t it like 3rd and 16, the second pass being forward makes a lot more sense in this down and distance scenario.

Also, just for the record, I’m a STH and was at the game, so didn’t have the benefit of whatever replays they showed on TV. It sounds like Dortch messed up, just surprised me since Dortch throwing downfield made more sense to me in the situation. Saying he “blamed” Dortch was a little editorializing on my part, too.

Yeah that’s my take on it - poorly designed play that we didn’t even luck out to make based on poor execution.

Proof of the presser? Listened to it on the radio on 98.7 on way home from the game (they broke away from caller on Cardinal Talk to air it).

Proof of if anyone was behind LOS? I was asking and not telling.

That cost us the game…. Sure.

 

[Brak]

I still want answers on starting Tom Tupa as quarterback...he's a punter for God's sake

I miss the Kent Graham yrs talk bout some card like Murray gms!!

I never suggested it did

Oh I know. I wasn’t directing that at you or really anybody. I just thought it was silly to bring up a play that is a mere blip in comparison to the flaws on this team.

I thought him blaming his receiver publicly was noteworthy, not the play itself. Especially because, before others chimed in, I wasn’t sure that was even correct without knowing where other players were on the field.

 

[Mark22]

It was a designed play, not a scramble drill. If Dortch was supposed to throw it backwards, someone should have been backwards to catch the pass. I don’t know if anyone was or not, that was my question. It is very possible Dortch was at fault on that play, but if so someone h should have been behind the LOS to be ready for a catch.

Connor was behind the LOS. He had to go approximately 4-5 yds to catch the ball

Thanks - so Kyler not unfairly putting that play on Dortch, but it was a horrible play call for the situation.

I remember him catching those bombs from Boomer in Washington, when Boomer passed for over 500 yards.

Well, not sure about the situation, but, we did get a first down of of it minus the penalty.

Yes because Conner was able to get a running start due to where the ball was illegally thrown. Likely only gains 4-5 yards if the ball was thrown legally

 

[Syracusecards]

Lol he's a QB!

Tupa was a better QB…. lol

 

[cardcrazy]

It’s crazy how much talent is on this team.
KM
Hop
Hollywood
Connor
Ertz
Humphreys
JJ
Allen
Budda
Murphy
Moore?
Thompson?
Simmons?
Collins?
That’s possibly 14 out of 22 starters that, if on a well coached team would be better players. But this coaching staff can’t make it happen.
Time to clean house!

Hopefully this ends the silliness about relying on a 6th and 7th round rookies for the offensive line next season and any silliness about taking anything other than the best offensive lineman in the first round.

Eh, I’d still go EDGE/Pass-Rusher in the first.

There’s something there with Cam Thomas, but I don’t think I’ll ever see it with Myjai. Need an Alpha there. But if Myjai were to blossom, that would be great.

Now, I’m Center in Round Two & RT with one of our 3rd round picks(or flip them around).

I only saw the second half, But Simth looked fine for me. He held his stands most of the time and was much more reliable than both Price & Ford. Beachum needs to be benched yesterday.

Didn't we mess up the exact same play last year at the playoff game? Kirk threw a forward pass to Conner as Dortch did today.

Ironically we throw necessary behind LOS all the time and the only time we actually need a backward pass they can't do it.

Yeah Lecitus got a false start penalty but it was actually Price's fault IMO everyone moved but Price didn't snap the ball and they called it on Smith is how I saw it

They used to call it "false start, everyone but the center", which I believe is the funniest penalty announcement.

The sample size is large enough for Kyler. He is never going to be great. I know everything isn't his fault but he is just going to be that guy that is good enough to give you great games here and there but then just frustrate you with the stupid in-between the occasional great game. He doesn't suck for sure but he will never be a Tier 1 QB. Never. Matching that with Kliff? This team isn't going anywhere under this front office and coaching staff and we can't afford to be underwhelming at the same time between our franchise QB and the Front Office/Coaching staff.

Good post
