Catanzaro for missing the FG.

Kerwynn Williams for the punt block.

Floyd for the huge drop that made us settle for the first OT FG.

wrong on this one.

how about the entire freaking offense. the defense showed out tonight and the O blew.


none of that matters if Floyd catches that it's first down at about the 15 and we're driving and have 3 more downs to try and get a TD there to win the game. His drop forced us to kick the FG.

Arians lost the game. As bad as it was, he made some terrible, fatal decisions. Can someone remind me, was it 3rd down on the FG attempt? How he wasn't it the refs ear asking for a review of the DJ run is beyond me.

Floyd played well. Played hurt too. He made two huge clutch catches before that.
Goat List:
1) Amos Jones
2) Arians
3) Catanzaro


I agree he played great in the 2nd half except for the hold that wiped out the DJ run and the drop. Unfortunately that drop is potentially the only reason Seattle got the ball in OT. If we get the first down and score a TD, they never get the ball

How is he wrong? Floyd dropped the easiest ball ever that would have given us a 1st.

Floyds drops are completely unacceptable and have hurt us dearly in 3 games now. You dont get a pass because you made a couple plays earlier before you choked a HUGE play in OT.

Yup. Also, why on earth did we even kick the fg?!?!?!?! I give not a baker's f*ck what conventional wisdom says. The numbers of our team don't lie. The ball is way safer in the hands of David Johnson than anyone on any of our special teams units.

Humphries was really bad too.


Yeah Avril killed him all night

I'm just going on the biggest plays of the night and to me it was the blocked punt, the missed FG and that drop which is likely the only reason Seattle ever saw the ball in OT. Remember if you score a TD there the game is over.

Much as I hate to drag his name in the mud, due to his awesome game plan, I have to ping Bettcher too--although this may be Arians' fault too. Why, after calling such a perfect game, do we pull back and simply let Seattle march down the field in OT? They should never have gotten close to that OT-tying FG, and wouldn't have, if the defensive game plan hadn't backed up on the throttle.

No way. You kick the field goal on first down. The problem is that, though DJ IS our best player, he still relies to a large extend upon blocking. Arians really, really screwed the pooch.

Defense will not play sniff a game like this the rest of the season. How they come back and pumped and ready to play next week is beyond me.

it's not like he dropped a TD reception. there's no garuntee we woulda scored a TD, just a garuntee the FG woulda been easier.

Absolutely Stout. They were playing stellar defense and then it was like Billy Davis was back coaching them. Inexcusable to go away from what kept them in the game ALL game.

I have a sneaking suspicion Arians told him to back off, just like he stuck his nose in at the end of the Green Bay playoff game.

It was going to be at the 15 yard line and again IF we score a TD the game is over. He makes that catch adn we've gone 60 yards and have all the momentum in the world. Guaranteed of course not but it was a huge drop and guaranteed that Seattle got a possession in the OT.

it was a HUGE drop
