no Zod now the blame will be on the fans for demanding that the offense be less conservative.

seems like Cam is sitting back there *forever*

wow our running plays are fooling, you know... everybody.

...why do we have such deep routes on 3rd and 2

Time for the offense to move the ball!

Tired of being optimistic.

I'm looking forward to being elimainted from playoff contention by week 12 so that we can start winning and lobby to keep Rivera.

the offense was called conservative, not Cam specifically. Cam needs to be better than that.

ugh.

I agree with most of what you are saying. I'm not saying fire Rivera OR Shula, I'm just concerned.

You act like Rivera made the playoffs his first year, like Carroll, or has shown an ability to win games when it matters. I'm not saying fire him now, which you'd get if you read my posts. I'm saying I'm tired of the seeming lack of intensity and fire. Carroll appears to be a better coach than Rivera to this point, which isn't entirely surprising. But Rivera hasn't shown he is a good coach at all, and I think after two losing seasons and the beginning of the season *looking* the same as last year it's pretty easy to understand why people are frustrated. I wasn't advocating firing Rivera, but I wish I could see more of a spark out of him.

Please. Carroll has been an HC for four years before this and has two playoff appearances. We have seen nothing to suggest that Rivera is capable of that, so I think you are being a bit silly by trying to make comparisons between how the two fanbases should feel about their coaches. I'm not throwing in the towel but I'm sick of what seems like complacency and acceptance of losses to "good teams" by our coaches. I hope it is not htat way in private.

are you seriously arguing this? they were a playoff team last year. come the fug on. the reason people are pissed about this game is it was like watching last year all over again, but with what felt like even more conservative playcalling.

I don't know, have they had consecutive losing seasons the last couple years and worries in the preseason about scoring points?

And we're the second worst offense, by that logic.

Only Jacksonville scored fewer points than we did. Jacksonville. I suppose you can say that the Seahawks are the best defense in the league by far, but I think this is also a pretty big commentary on the state of our offense.

Did we "play well"? We didn't play poorly as a whole, our defense played pretty well, but our offense scored 7 points and had a turnover. They failed to score enough points to win. They did not play well. You can't win in this league if you score 7 points against most teams. I'm not saying that we should fire Rivera right now, nor bench our players. But I am concerned because this is a pattern with this team and these coaches, so I'm worried about next week, and the weeks after.

Seriously? Or maybe the coaches had a gameplan that allows those receives to exploit advantages they had. I really don't look at the Seahawks receiver corps and feel blown away... at all. It's decent, but not great. I don't think our unit, in terms of talent, is that far behind, if behind at all. The difference is that the Seahawks have coaches that can find ways to utilize their WRs.

I saw a lot of good things, too. I don't think the season is done because of this loss, but I fear we won't make the playoffs for the same reasons we lost this game (in the larger sense than "if d-will hadn't dumbled" or "greg hadn't dropped passes" etc). If we don't find a way to gain a killer instinct and a coach willing to take risks, even in close games, I don't think we can pull off games against good teams. We can hang with them, yes, but beat them? I admit I could be wrong, and I do hope you are right.

I don't think our team sucks but I'm tired of losing seasons. We've had quite a few of them in recent memory. I'm tired of making excuses and just accepting the zen way. I've done that for the last several seasons, and I want to see us actually win close games. I'm not calling for us to fire Rivera right now, but damn it, I wish I could see more fire from him. I admit I might just be missing it/not privy to it, but it just feels like he has a lack of urgency all the damn time.

I don't really like that all the blame is going on a D-will fumble. Greg dropped passes. We made ridiculously conservative play calls at certain points. Our defense finally gave up a huge f'ing TD. I mean, we just didn't get it done... the D-Will fumble may seem like the last straw but there were points in that game where we didn't even need to get to that point...

Why yes, I'm happy just losing to good teams. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Effort is what matters in the sport, anyway. Everyone is a winner. The entire NFCS gets a nice little trophy regardless of where they finish. Alternatively, we can see the opportunities we had to take control of a game and beat that Super Bowl contender into the ground in the first half, that we failed to do. We lacked the killer instinct, and I think that comes from the top.

damn my out of area-ness. shoulda got madden for the sunday ticket!

filname says John Snow. I am disappoint.

I have a very hard time believing those aren't pictures or at least photoshopped; the water looks too good.
