FlaHawker 24 Posted January 14, 2014 I think a fair question would be how many months has it been since we faced a shitty defense. Game after game after game, it's been playing against a good defense and/or good secondary. Of course the passing game/offense has hit the skids a bit lately. Going backwards, our opponents have been, with their rank in total defense: New Orleans(#4) St Louis(#15) Arizona(#6) NYGiants(#8) San Francisco(#5) New Orleans(#4) I guess Atlanta might be the last weaker defensive team that this offense has faced. Clearly, the defense has been playing lights out to finish the season, so the game plan has been ultra conservative to take advantage of that team strength. But that offensive capability is still there. It's just dormant. With expected better weather for this Sunday, I get the feeling the play book will open up a bit and some new wrinkles of the offense will be introduced because now and only now is it going to be needed. And let's be honest. These teams looked at their games with the Hawks as their SB. They all wanted to take them down. We can't sneak up on anyone like we did last year.

Hawkfin 32 Posted January 14, 2014 And let's be honest. These teams looked at their games with the Hawks as their SB. They all wanted to take them down. We can't sneak up on anyone like we did last year. I get all that.... But, St. Louis you should be throwing on. Atl and Giants too. If we are a SB team, then it doesn't matter what they were playing up for. It's the game plan on offense that is the problem. This is why we are letting these teams in the game at all. S.F. and Arizona I'll give into the Def. and N.O. maybe because of the rain and it was right to punish them on the ground physically. But, the game plan HAS been so vanila and very predictable for awhile now. I'm calling out the plays almost every time and every series. It's amazing Lynch is even doing what he is, because I fking know what were going to do and how. And even Wilson's dropbacks are predictable. Where's the designed rollouts with blocking? WR picks like Denver and NE do? There's nothing special going on. No misdirections, No fakes, No passing on 1st downs or continoued passing to get into a flow, The read option doesn't look the same if at all, No screens, No passing to the RB's or FB's or TE's. How about Tate screens? It's complete vanilla. And if we lose it will be the conservative game plan that does it to us. We have the luxary of going out full ballz with the Def we have. We can always use the bread and butter of the running game. Who cares if we go 3 and out with no time taken off. We've got our great Def on the home field. They can also make plays. I like what we were doing at the end of last year and into the playoff's, and how we opened everything up. I'm affraid they feel like they can beat every team man up, pound you, and play punishing def. Maybe they can (Or have) But, I think now it's time to change the mindset from here on. OR at least once we get stopped a couple straight drives. These last 2 games will be the hardest yet. To me our OC (or gameplan) has huge games and huge let downs. We are dynamite when the game is called with an agressive "mixed up" game plan that utilizes everything. When we play vanilla, we let teams in it with a def. battle. I hope your right, with less rain things open up with a good game plan called. But, I have not seen change for well over 6 weeks now and looks completely vanilla. Should be fun.

Lost in the midst of the flame wars, I threw out the theory a few games ago that the team was playing vanilla on offense on purpose so they could unleash the more wide open stuff for the later playoff games. The time has come. It would have made no sense to do it in the weather vs the Saints. By the by, are the Broncos getting trashed for their feeble offensive output vs the Chargers, you know, 24 points. Or how San Fran scored 23 points. Yet, Seattle scores 23 points, and their offense stinks. Surely, this is selective media bias in reporting because they need some chink in Seattle's armor to discuss this entire week. It's balderdash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was a must win game, and everything should have been thrown in the bag of tricks to make sure you win that game and gain the huge 1st seed and home field. (Or fall to the #5 seed) Again, the game plan lacked throughout. Sure Wilson blew it open at the end with that TD to Tate, but the entire game plan was more of the same stuff. Very Vanilla. None of the wides catching balls. TE's missing. Play selection borring and bad. Nothing special and we played it safe. St Louis stuck around most of that game. I understand your other points that Seattle is no different then the other teams scoring wise. And we can still win playing this way and have won. And it's great to pound the rock. But, use that threat of a running game to your advantage. There's room for improvement and "playing it safe" only loses in my book. It's why N.O. marched right down the field on us to get into the game in the first place. We played it safe (Prevent Def - Well, and some N.O. luck) Denver might not have scored much - But, SD was doing nothing so they ran and ran. But, they almost choked that game away too playing conservative and they had chances to score a lot more earlier on. They got there lead because of there agressiveness though. If we get a lead like that - Game over. So lets go get the lead and open this $hit up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't open up the playbook during a mini hurricane, lunkhead. Year after year, the Seahawks are at the very top of the league in rushing attempts per game. That's what the team does. And clearly there was no need to change it when you hold a double digit lead for nearly the entire game. And a 23-8 game with 30 seconds to go in my book is not considered a squeaker no matter how much the Saints backdoored that game to dress up the final score to make it look prettier than what it actually was. The defense had a choke hold on the game until a stupid long tipped pass and a series of fortunate breaks got the Saints any points at all. Frankly, I'm stunned it wasn't a shutout. When you hold Drew Brees to 34 passing yards in the first half, the word "squeaker" doesn't immediately come to mind. But that's just me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, the game wasn't really in doubt as Clemmens looked like he was terrified to throw it anywhere and the defense had locked all the doors and threw away all the keys. I think they didn't want to risk anything fancy because they would eventually force the Rams to beat themselves, and they did. Seattle's defense is too fast for the Saint's offense. The Saints can't throw their screens, didn't have the time to stretch the field, and I don't think anybody in the Seattle lockerroom thought the game was going to be that close. I think this game presents the opportunity to stretch the field. Specifically, I want to Zach Miller, as he was a holy terror in last year's playoffs. I want to see Wilson to be more accurate on the slants, which may or may not be wind related last week. I want more RB and FB hitch and goes, flanker screens, stuff to shake up the cheating up to the line by the SF linebackers. That SF secondary can be exploited, and this has to be a part of the game plan. Has to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wilson needs to step us his game. I'm not buying the hype, They have many very good players. Not flashy. But very good skill position players. Hey, it's hard when Percy Harvin and Sydney Rice are out basically the entire season. Golden Tate has emerged as a young playmaker. The rest of the guys are possession WRs who find a way to get open when Wilson scrambles. But no one has an ego so nobody complains when Lynch gets the ball over and over again.

LOL That's as funny as your premise that all three losses were the result of bad referees. Only a Seahawks fan! Seattle played their worst game since maybe the first game of the 2012-13 season, Russell Wilson's first start in the Arizona game you talk about incessantly. Yes, Seattle played terrible, yes they doinked a short FG off a goal post, yes they blew a late 4th quarter lead, yes they took the game for granted because they didn't need to win it to clinch the division and got lazy and complacent and played with no emotion whatsoever after three emotion draining games of New Orleans on Monday Night, at San Fran, then playing in the Meadowlands, the future site of this year's Superbowl. The NFL has an ebb and flow to it, so you just don't have the same emotion every game. You just don't. It was a loss. That's all there is to it. They converted 2 of 13 third downs. It'd say the execution by the team was terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wilson needs to step us his game. I'm not buying the hype, The offense is boring "right now", but it hasn't always been. I think our OC (gameplan) is in a funk or they think they can just pound teams. They need to mix things up. We have enough talent to do things and Wilson can deliver when he's asked to. We've all seen it already. The hype is real. It's the game calling/OC causing the problem. Don't talk about N.O. came to play. There done and gone and now nothing but an afterthought! Period! We called a run only game and let our Def win. And they couldn't stop it or do anything about it. An agressive game called would have blown them out of the water is my feeling. But, I can understand playing in safe in that down poor. They need to open the offense up this time around though, against S.F. who can contain and stop the run more so then N.O. But mainly, just use the run game as a weapon to open everything else up. It's like all they want to do is run right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We let them hang around because of our lack of a great playcalled game. That aint going to fly against a good team. And S.F. is better then the rams and they have a similar Def if not better. You need to attack those teams in the air or a variety of mixed up play calls - Not try and pound them. If they blitz and keep pressuring you - Use screens/TE's and Rb's. QB roll outs. This game plan almost failed vs the Rams in our first meeting with them too. It's time to let loose or risk getting eliminated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This game plan almost failed vs the Rams in our first meeting with them too. It's time to let loose or risk getting eliminated. The things that struck me the most about the pair of blowout losses by SF in Seattle the past two seasons: Seattle absolutely dominated both sides of the line of scrimmage, Kapernick's first option was always covered so had nowhere to go with the ball and had no choice but to pull it down and run, and that Vernon Davis faked an injury in the last game and I saw some alligator arms from the SF WRs at times. 4th straight road game for San Fran. We haven't left Seattle in close to a month and a half. And I have off from work Monday, so drinking is on the agenda. Man, it certainly has set up nicely, hasn't it? Now, it would be nice if Harvin could get his brains unscrambled by Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think this team is as good right now as it was then. 19 points a game is not flashy and shows there are holes in this team. Yeah, I agree with this too.... But, I don't think it's the players so much as the game plan. It horably took a step back lately and we started coasting, and I think the attitude is that we can just out muscle you. Play perfect solid Def while we run and run. It's been working so far, but we don't look like that team IMO either. Maybe the rain storm has hidden what the team really has in store though? It could have caused them to play it safe again? I'm not sure? (However we will shock 49ers IF we do open this sucker up. This could crush them if there not prepared for a bag of tricks) But, I think it really points to our game plan and the O.C. - It's been really boring and pittiful, with nothing exicting or complex. It's like what we were running the first part of last year when Wilson was just a pup. So Vanilla. I think if we have 1 weakness it's the O.C. (I assume it's him) - Sometimes he/team calls an amazing game. The N.O game and others were filled with a mixed bag of tricks and open playbook and scheems. Basically, cut it loose and any play and formation goes. But, then they also go to this conservative game plan and vanilla pound you. (this has been the norm lately - Almost not to lose type) Maybe they are a genous since you can't fault the Hawks and they've done everything needed to do. But, from a fan perspective I feel nervous about it and don't like punting (who by the way scares me cause he's so slow). I think they could have and should have blown out the rams with a better called game. I think they could have beat Arizona with a better called game. At S.F. was pretty pothetic play calling. This playoff game against N.O. was more of the same, etc. etc. I think it would be a teams mistake to hire our OC as a head coach. Product of the system and he's probably the weak link if anything. If there is one spot on our team that doesn't scream championship material it's him/or lack of imagination playcalling. You can't play scared! That just doesn't win. Our Def doesn't play scared. Our offense can't either. I think/hope we might change it though. This would be a big key to killing the forty-whiners! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But nope, not a chance in hell against that secondary with that time left on the clock. Wasn't happening. Game. Set. Match. NFC Championship game! Pssssst. It wouldn't have been that big of a miracle. lol. Your greatest team ever assembled haven't really played that great lately. Hey peaked a month or 2 ago. Too bad the Eagles peaked in 2003.

phillybear 366 Posted January 14, 2014 You knew to throw that in, Dorkweed. Eagles have won plenty of championships. They just didn't name it a 'Super Bowl' yet. Seahawks? Still none. The Eagles have won absolutely nothing. Nothing existed before Superbowl I. That is the league's starting point. Frankly, anything premerger with the AFL is meaningless. You might as well talk about the time the Eagles faced the Pilgrims back in the 1700's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawkfin 32 Posted January 15, 2014 49ers had a tougher schedule and beat two good playoff teams on the road. Three in a row after Sunday How do you figure this? I think your wrong on both accounts. They basically had the same schedual playing similar out of div games. Maybe a few differances. Yet S.F. had GB, Colts, Houston, Carolina, and Atl ALL at home. Seattle went on the road to: Carolina, Colts, Houston, Giants, Atlanta You lost to N.O and we killed them TWICE. I mean what, cause they played GB twice they had such a harder schedual? Big deal. You guy's matchup well against GB and own them. We beat N.O. (playoff team who was much better then GB) twice and you didn't. You had your biggest games at home. Same schedual basically IMO with little differances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the Whiners win he will be crapping all over this thread. If they lose, we won't see him again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 541 Posted January 15, 2014 You lost to N.O and we killed them TWICE. We beat N.O. (playoff team who was much better then GB) twice and you didn't. You said this twice. You know damn well that New Orleans on the road and New Orleans in their dome are two different teams. So you can mention the Saints ten times if it makes you feel better, it's a totally irrelevant comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you can mention the Saints ten times if it makes you feel better, it's a totally irrelevant comparison. Yeah, I did say it twice. My bad. But, that's so the dummies can be sure to get the point. N.O. was 11-5 and GB was 8-7-1. N.O. was a far better team then GB. (Or at least close enough to not say S.F. played harder teams) That was the ultimate point that you completely ignored. Seattle beat them twice like S.F. beat GB twice. Regardless, the scheduals were close for both teams. S.F. got a lot of there big ones at home though. I agree N.O. was not as good on the road. Never said they weren't. The fact remains that we crushed them, S.F. lost to them if you want to compare common teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sho Nuff 720 Posted January 15, 2014 Bet? on outcomes that can never be verified? You're dumb. Hi chime. Sure...its more of a statement that I would about guarantee they would have been at least 11-5 with Rodgers. They were 5-2 when he got hurt. Barely lost a game at home to Chicago that even Seneca Wallace had a shot at winning (and Rodgers had gone right down the field on them). I think they would have dropped maybe 2 of the remaining games. The Detroit game I will just write off as a loss. But after that, what game did they lose where Rodgers wouldn't have made a difference? Not shocked you didn't get the point that nobody is going to "bet" on outcomes that can't be verified and it was more of a figure of speech. But glad you could try to call someone else dumb...high comedy coming from you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
