We give up more first downs on third and long...

our offense

and did his heel hit before his toe?

was his left knee down first?

the ole hail mary swing pass. That'll trick em

now lets get a pick and take it to the house. Smith Wade is my call. Longshot

Gotta make plays when the chance is there

We just need to make some plays. Id rather them throw it deep on 4th and 2 than give it to Chuba up the gut. That is seattle's strength.

If Miami wins, a tie is good.

So we bring our slot WRs in to flank the OL and that brings down the defense into the area we are running into. The defense then can pinch. I don't get it

Damn OL---those guys in the white shirts if that helps.

We should know that Darnold sucks when the pocket collapses--can't stand pressure--remember the last 2 games in Minnesota--that is how the made him look like the old Sam Darnold.

Dolphins up on Bucs--

We are not making the plays we need to make--Horn dropped the pick--Wonnum gives up a sweep right at him on 3rd and 15...not attacking the defense.

In fairness to Bryce, I think it is just as important for the GM and coach to play to his strengths and hide his weaknesses. He needs to be surrounded by studs--Rico, Chuba, Moton, Ickey, Lewis, Hunt, TMac-- We have a run-first OL--they are average pass blockers, elite run blockers. In that regard, Bryce seems more elusive and is extending plays by stepping into the cracks and buying time rolling out--before, he would panic, retreat, and surrender.

I noticed that too. If referring to Bryce's career, maybe. If he is referring to his time in Carolina, I am not that certain, but I do feel that Bryce has more lives than both of our house cats combined.

I am a good judge of intellect and character. I think I am betting my house on this. Fingers crossed!!!

Yes. If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler. XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw. He is basically learning a position. The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce. Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball. That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary. A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing. On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?" In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C). OL depth maybe? In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.

Good eye. LB play has been subpar.

I would not be surprised to see us add a free agent LB and then draft one. If we bring Rozeboom back, we would have solid depth.

Yup. We all seem to be on the same page there. I would add WR to the list, but your point is solid.

I am just starting to mock, so do not mock me. The LBs you mention here are OLBs, if I am not mistaken. Styles is a converted SS and Perkins is small. I am just starting to research the ILBs we might need, and one sleeper that I am watching is Jake Golday (Cincinnati). Anthony Hill in the second round is my safe pick. Sonny Styles is a beast of an athlete. I can see any team that passes on him regretting it.

I like some of the ILBs in this draft. I want a top 30 edge and 2 LBs. I think we will sign one in free agency. TBH, Rozeboom and Wallace should be depth.

The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18). That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east. Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability). The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4. The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California. It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario. The Panthers at home are 5-2. In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams. I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte. I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate. While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me. How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now? They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature. Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
