One of these weeks the Niners are going to win by a couple of touchdowns and they'll be 1 and 6+ with a positive point differential.

Of which Wilson contributed 482 yards.

Wilson was incredible, seriously. But I don't like Seattle's chances in the playoffs if they can't run. 3rd and short feels like a giant wall right now, and its way worse in the red zone.

See, I actually think the o line created some fine pockets for Russ to work with yesterday. Their pass blocking looked...dare I say, average? No coincidence that Russ had his best game of the season by far.

Maybe, just as the Texans sold out against the run at the expense of the pass, the o line concentrated on pass blocking at the expense of running. They were getting blown off the line on running plays and created nothing in the way of holes (even worse, let rushers through to allow tfl, I don't understand why we don't screen more). But Russ had a pocket to work with today! Pocic looked good, Odihambo is bad but not actively terrible, and Ifedi remains a penalty machine but has improved a lot.

We'll see if they end up trading with Houston for Brown, but there's a chance they could keep improving with some continuity. Then, maybe, teams will start respecting the pass more and the running game can get going.

Or they'll stay hot trash and we'll be strip sacked out of the first round, w/e.

I went to a Texans site to see what they thought of Duane Brown and hooo boy man. Shoulda known not to read the comments. A hot take I thought was particularly funny was a bunch of fans being cool with Watson playing behind a bad line as he has played well so far. Like, did it not occur to them why Seattle would trade for a left tackle when we run out Russell God King of the Scramble Drill Wilson?

Yeah that was fun earlier this week after the McNair stuff.

As long as Earl Thomas stays healthy I think this defense will be fine, it just won't be the world beater we're used to. All good things come to an end, you just have to enjoy and appreciate them when they're around.

Thankfully Russ keeps developing and growing, he's really put the team on his back. Hawks are going to have to score lots to make a run this year.

God drat but the league has had a ton of brutal injuries. Any word on how Duane Brown is doing?

Man I dunno, there's cold weather football and then there's Minneapolis in January. I don't think anybody enjoyed the Blair Walsh Game.

CenturyLink is an awesome stadium, but the one game I went to was in the Hawks Nest and up there you're basically surrounded by people who rode to the game from Auburn in pickup trucks they bought from Jay Buhner. Dudes were getting up to piss every few minutes and coming back double fisting bud lites every drat time.

I guess I'm outing myself as a wimpy urban millennial but I've enjoyed myself at Sounders games more. Of course, I think sitting in better seats might help. That's just how NFL games are, the cheaper the seats the rowdier the fans.

Uhh

We're still 6-4. If we beat the Rams again we're probably in the playoffs. Plenty of teams would be happy to be in our position.

The defense sucks but Russ is still amazing. Let's see if some guys can get a little healthier. Losing Griffin that early in the game was brutal.

I dunno man the loss hurts but we were like a missed Graham td catch and about 2 feet of FG from OT and/or winning. I'm willing to wait and see.

And long term we still have a franchise qb. We'll be fine.

I would definitely caution against assuming we're going to beat the Jags

Absolutely. I'm steeling myself for the letdown. At least the game isn't an early start anymore. So glad we don't have to face Campbell 2x per season anymore.

A win @Jax makes the game vs the Rams essentially a playoff for the division. Seattle ends with @Dal vs Ari, Rams with @Ten vs SF, which will probably be two wins for each.

Incidentally, as much as the Seattle O line being garbage has turned into a meme, their pass blocking has been better than league average since trading for Duane Brown. The Eagles have a terrifying D line and Russ moved the ball just fine. Could be a hopeful sign with two more brutal D lines in the next two weeks.

Aw, crazy Jim Harbaugh. His teams were always good, but I can't think of another coach that was more fun to beat. That Seattle/SF rivalry was so fun, wish it could have had a longer period of parity. We really only got a couple seasons where they were at roughly the same quality.

Seriously. The Seahawks defense is going to have a ton of talent next season. The offense will have Russ. They'll be good at the very least.

To my admittedly untrained eye Bennett has looked pretty washed up this year. He's had good years but I'm not sad to see him go.

If Avril retires they should have a good chunk of cap space to work with again.

Of course. I doubt he heads back to NE with their situation. If he keeps playing well he won't be cheap for long, though. With how good he's looked SF may want to lock him up ASAP, else they run the risk that his stick will keep rising on short term deals. Going to be an interesting negotiation. Of course, having Shanahan helps out SF a lot in this area.

What? No it isn't. Graham, Paul Richardson, Shead, and Maxwell are the only good starters. Sheldon Richardson is obviously great but we always knew he was going to be a 1-year deal. Garvin, McDougald, and Smith are decent role players and Willson is a meh TE2.

Joeckel sucks and costs 8 mil AAV.
Lacy sucks and costs 4.25 mil AAV.
Luke Willson is bad and costs 1.25 mil AAV.

If you cut all of them you can easily re-sign Paul Richardson + Shead, and likely sneak in another short term deal for Maxwell.

Graham is weird because he's probably worth less than the $10 mil AAV that he currently makes, but a random team might pay him more.

I'm more in this line of reasoning. If those are the FAs from a roster of 54 then we're doing pretty well. I see a lot of money that can easily be let go.

What makes the Seahawks the team that Maxwell plays decently on? I remember him being good, traded to the Eagles where he was (as I recall) the worst starter for that position, then comes back and is good again.

Probably scheme. Pete loves those big press corners, and he's always seemed to find a way to use them up to their potential. Still unbelievable to me that they made a useful player out of Brandon Browner.

I don't think it's all attributable to Sherman - after all, Maxwell did his best work after Sherman tore his Achilles. Unless, that is, you're referring to Shaq Thompson as a shutdown corner, and something tells me you aren't.

Basically how I feel about it. There's nothing a Carroll team can do on the field to sour his legacy for me--he won us a Super Bowl! I wasn't sure we'd ever get one. Even more fun that they won my favorite game of all time against our biggest rivals on the way.

If this is the end of the era, then it's been a hell of a ride.

Tez was great and by far my favorite player before Marshawn, but at this point I might replace him with either Russ (best SEA QB by far) or Earl Thomas (best player on SB winning defense). That's just nitpicking though, your selections do a great job of showcasing each decad

e. Just for fun, how about a reverse-rushmore for each team? The most loathed/worst players. I don't have time to fully think this through, but I have to think two Seahawks spots are reserved for Mirer and Jerramy Stevens. Some might choose Boz too.
