Thread: This just in Seattle.... very beatable

I can't for the life of me , understand why people seem to think the seahawks are invinceable ,they made several bonehead plays yesterday proving that the only answer is NOT breaking them up

They are a solid squad, cant knock em for that. Even in games where they often dont play their best they often times find ways to win.

I don't know about that. Seahawks are still getting to the QB and defense is still intercepting the ball. Seahawks should have won that game, their defense kept them right in it. Offense looked lack luster, Russ Wilson couldn't do much, they shut him down big time, it was like pulling teeth trying to pass for a 1st down.

They are who we thought they were.

I think "very" beatable is a stretch. But it re-affirms what I've been trying to say on this board every time the Broncos lose and we go into full meltdown mode - no one is unbeatable. My bold playoff prediction is that the Seahawks lose at home, most likely to Carolina.

I'd love to play the Panthers in the Super Bowl. I think we match up well against them.

Every team is "beatable". If you wanna talk "very beatable" look no farther than our beloved Denver Broncos.

We always seem to beat ourselves. I'd say that was the case in all of our losses.

Russell Wilson can't do much often. Sunday was the 3rd time this season that he failed to complete even 50% of his passes. This even with a dominant defense and running game. He is Seattle's main weakness. A lot of people have been riding his jock for a while, but it's the defense and running game that make that team a contender.

He needs to simplify his game. Shorter throws and less scrambling. He's too quick to leave the pocket. He'll learn though, I have more faith in Russ Wilson than RG3, and I felt that way even before this season. No way RG3 can take the hits he has taken for the past 2 years and expect to have a long fruitful career in the NFL. Your body is a temple!!

It's just remotely possible the Seahawks played their last game like we've played MOST of ours. Bear in mind they lost by a TD to 10-5 team who'd probably be leading any division but theirs or ours; even if they loafed their way through that game, they still only lost by a TD against a playoff calibre team.

The way I heard it though, they're beatable if your D is good enough to hold Lynch to 71 yds and a 3.9 average while making Wilson run for his life and sacking him 4 times. We MIGHT still be capable of the former (though after losing Vickerson, Wolfe and now Miller our run D is looking much less fierce) but have we sacked ANYONE 4 times this year? I'm continually annoyed by the notion sacks are the end-all of D, or even just pass D, but SOME pass rush would be nice; I'm not big fan of seeing big receptions against excellent DBs because QBs can wait forever.

The only team that's won a shootout with Seattle this year was the Colts, and they only managed to win by 6 pts—even at home, and returning a blocked FG for a TD.

So it's your contention that Wilson has yet to reach Franchise QB status? That does not jive with "the Broncos ****** up by not drafting Wilson" narrative.

Forget the fact that this narrative ignores the inconvenient flaw in logic that Wilson would still be considered a 5-10 backup QB had the Broncos drafted him, however, it's a bold statement to suggest that Wilson is not as good as almost everybody insists he already is.

I do like Wilson but also agree with you completely, and I still do not get the Wilson > Osweiler > Eli Manning logic that gets thrown around.

I kinda think it's the opposite, they need a more complicated scheme in the sense that they have to gameplan for a QB that simply can't see over his OL. Sean Payton makes it look easy with Drew Brees but it's not.

Btw, this is probably the wrong forum.

Cardinals defense has been solid all year...
