Sharpie Posted October 12 3 hours ago, Ribble said: Ah ok, can't see it myself, they're not strong enough defensively for me to see them going all the way, you just can't give up 400+ yards a game and win the super bowl, no matter how good your offense is I watch Seahawks games, this year with all the things that are going on, Covid, Trump, personal, I don't get too hyped about Super Bowl or the big game. If Hawks lost Wilson their season would be gone, but I have to say their five games this season have all been worth watching, and a very welcome break and absence of lifes stresses. We all love the debate about our sports team, but the truth is they are really a commercial form of entertainment, and Seahawks are fulfilling this season their obligation to entertain and relieve lifes problems. for a few hours.

A pretty big departure from what the Seahawks have been in recent years, a team built on run first and formidible defense. I'd actually tune in to one of their games now Re Wilson, you could say the same about a lot of teams, the Packers would drop like a stone without Rodgers this season, same for the Ravens. FWIW Seahawks were my tip for the Super Bowl this year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May be finished for good. accepted a one year contract, because he wanted to hit big renewing for next season. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously nothing compared to Dak but a very able replacement. Not many teams will have as good a backup. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that because Dalton isn’t the calibre of player that Dak is, they will lean more on Zeke. This was something they had moved away from this season, because of the outrageous talent they have at WR. If they get back to this, then I think they will be a more balanced attack and also be able to control the clock, thus helping out a very poor defense.

Yeah, definitely one of the top backups out there. Hopefully Dak is back soon though. He seems like a decent guy and was definitely deserving of a top contract after the way he’s been performing.

Chooses a no-hoper in the Jets, now, after raking it in there, jumps to the other end of the success spectrum. Flip the mercenary coin; Antonio Brown or him. We could have won Super Bowls with them, but not with how they've "performed" since both deciding they were better than the organisation which made them what they are.

He’ll earn more from the jets than the chiefs this year. Anyway, break a leg Le’Veon, as they say in the theatre parlance 😩 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What really gets on my mammaries is we never seem to play a 60 minute game. First half/second half, either that or the O plays lights out or it's the D. If we ever had both on the go at the same time, AND for the whole game ....... (if my grannies had baws etc.) No way are we the #1 side though, I could list 3 or 4 better than us. We still need to improve and that includes Ben. Doesn't seem to matter how old he gets he still sometimes reverts to the "gunslinger" he was in his younger days, the one that also that served us so well, I'll add. Some of his throws yesterday, though. There was no reason Titans should have been in a position to potentially win that game. I'm a perfectionist.
