I've endured Griese, Plummer, Steve Buerline, Orton, Gus Frerotte, and *shudders* Tebow... I'm going to Enjoy Manning Dammit!
To me, this score shows a great big red flag. Let's see if they can bounce back. I think they need to
I agree. If they want to prove to be big time contenders they have got to come back and win this game.
So far this game has consisted of horrible PI calls, and once again the beat up Seahawks o-lines lets everyone hit RW. I cannot wait till Okung and Breno are back. Edge rushers are having a field day. I don't care what team you are, if you're missing your two tackles you're going to struggle majorly.
I'm not alone when saying Bevell is horrid... 1st and goal at the 3, we have Lynch, and you call a pass? Fucking interception. Most frustrating OC EVER!!!
Win or not, being down to TB like that is weak sauce. Just sayin'. Especially a week after nearly losing to St. Louis. They're starting to show some cracks in their armor.
I went to the game last night. Last year the only game I went to was the Packers game. That's a couple of weird games to go too. Tampa Bay got some cheap TD's in the first half. The first one was on the heels of a BS PI call on Thomas. The third one was off a fumble by Kearse and then such a weird looking play with the RB jumping up and passing the ball like it was a jump shot. The defense was put in some bad situations by their offense or special teams. But, in the second TD, Tampa Bay drove right down the field. 11 plays, 86 yards. So the defense had a bad first half. The thing that was surprising was how Tampa Bay was able to convert those opportunities into TD's. That doesn't happen much against this defense and certainly not in Seattle. There were only 12 passing yards by Seattle late in the first half, with like 2 minutes left. Not sure where they ended up for the half, but it couldn't have been much. Ouch. Even after they were down 21-0 I thought the Seahawks had a chance to win because Tampa Bay is very good at losing games. Look at the Jets game or the Saints game. TB is not a horrible team, but they just can't seem to win. Seahawks have some things to fix, but they won the last two games even though they have looked really bad in the wins. Hopefully they get things squared away. With offensive line coming back and Harvin thrown in, you would think the offense would get better. I'm not sure what the problem is with the defense, but that rush defense has to get better or they have no chance of winning the NFC west, let alone going to the superbowl.
By the way, at half time they honored the 30th year anniversary of making the playoffs for the first time. They had the 1983 team. But, they also had the 1983 Sea Gals. Yes, really.
I could hear the roar from the stadium from the viaduct as I drove home. That was nuts. Jimmy Graham looked like crap. The defense was crazy good last night.
