Hawks v Chargers Preseason Opener

[maoling]

I think that is the cleanest first half of a first Seahawks' preseason opener I can ever remember. Wow!

For those of you that watched the game, what did you think of Howell and the O line?

Time of possession: Seahawks 39 Chargers 21

When is the last time we saw anything like that?

Woke to broke Pete is no doubt watching this game.
Stay retired Pete.

Did you catch the part where Avril was starting to say the players are so excited they finally gave a defensive minded coach? He caught himself and tried to save it, but it was pretty obvious what he meant. Maybe a coach not so scared of the big play that he didn't just hand over 15 play TD drives like candy at Halloween!?

Here is my first post from last year's preseason opener game thread...

Weak-ass D out there. Somebody make a fucking play.

then i later added...

Can't pressure the QB, can't establish the run game.

Same old Seahawks.

Certainly a much better look yesterday.

Looks good a lot of the time but I wish he threw downfield more. I think he was trying to be conservative to limit picks. O line was good over all. Of course gave up some pressures but better than last season.

Best thing was they play calling on third down matched the situation in terms of down and distance. No 2 yard passed on 3rd and 5 or 30 yard fades on 3rd and 2. Macintosh was the MVP.

Sounds like they may have to keep 4 RBs again, and at least 6 WRs with Bobo and Shenault being locks and Young, White, and Eskridge in the mix.

Yes- That game was quite a surprise- Solid performance on both sides of the ball- Dline was active- Tackles were made- Running game was impressive- I mean it's like they actually practice and game plan now- Amazing- Yesterday was all business -

I do think McDonald should start smacking some gum though -
