That seems drastic. I could see if there was a bit of a drop off, but you're talking going from a 110/115+ rating to not even cracking a 70 rating in like 1/2 of the games.

Its weird how some teams just match up better with other ones. This is actually one of the more intelligent posts you've made in a while. And no you didn't smack any of them, all of those were one score games. Nor is a 30-22 victory a "Smacking". Smacking is beating a team 37-9 like the Eagles beat the Cowboys in 2017.

animaltested Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I really don't understand people picking the Seahawks this weekend considering... 1. Seattle 1-8 in road openers in the PC Era 2. West Coast teams performance in 10am games I'm fully prepared for 3+ hours of Steeler fans being their insufferable selves.

You’re underselling your team and RW imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and the Hawks looked pretty mediocre in all phases against Cinci at home last week, in a fully winnable game. 51 minutes ago, ITS_RAMMY_PLAYBOI said: You’re underselling your team and RW imo.

"Hand the ball off 35 times to Chris Carson" And that's not a slight towards Carson, who is a phenomenal RB, but the Seahawks for the past 2 years seem to be actively trying to keep the ball OUT of RW's hands as much as possible and "save" him for the 4th quarter, and it makes no sense. Further than that, their entire running game is literally one play - inside zone. Hawks are an interesting team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further than that, their entire running game is literally one play - inside zone. Hawks are an interesting team. Eh, its a philosophy thing. Been this way since PCJS took over. Pound teams into submission, control the clock, minimize mistakes. Seattle has always prioritized maulers on the oline, therefore, leaving those maulers on an island for 5-7 step drops 30+ times a game is not a recipe for success. Now, a drive or two in high leverage situations, absolutely. Russell can (and has been) incredibly successful when throwing from a traditional pocket, but its not something Seattle has been able to create successfully, consistently. That's why the bulk of RW throws are from PA, and moving the pocket around, which have to be built upon a dangerous rushing attack. Its frustrating for fans, but there is a method to the madness. Its easy to disagree with this philosophy in 2020, but you cant really deny the success either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to straight dropback 50 times a game to put the ball in his hands, just run the ball and mix good PA off of it to create balance. Seattle tends to be VERY run heavy (obviously) for reasons I can't explain when you can just as easily just run PA and let Wilson make plays. Who knows though.

Agreed. Pete is a defensive coach at heart and the best way to protect and help a defense... is to have a top notch running game and possess the ball He also protects Wilson by limiting his runs early and then unleashing RW keepers on a tired out defense late in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not good at converting back to back 3rd down plays because his OC was stupid enough to call a timeout as they were wrapping up the game? His raw numbers are pretty good. His comeback numbers are good (8 of his 9 wins in 2016 were comebacks) The knock on him is that he has never been able to do enough to beat the really good teams. He did sorta win a playoff game until Jerrah's Party Bus ref picked up the flag and gave Dallas another chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
