Seahawks vs Falcos game thread

[IStillLoveTheMs]

Yeah my concern actually wasn't as much with the secondary as it was not hitting Ryan with consistent traffic.

You don't need to get a million sacks... but you do need to make Ryan move and throw his feet/balance off... Poona and Reed got 0 interior pressure all game and aside from a couple OK plays our DE's were largely neutralized.

The Falcons were running a ton of timing plays... and because Ryan had more than enough time he hit on them... no secondary is going to stop Ryan when he has 5 seconds in the pocket.

I think our linebackers will shut Cam's running game down next week and he will be forced to pass which won't end well for him or the Pats.

Run D actually really clamped down in the 2nd half.

We just need JReed to get some fkn penetration.

But yeah, Cam Newton sucks... I'm not worried about him passing.

Q: What was it like on the sidelines watching Russell and the offense put up 38 points today.

Jamal Adams: "I'm not used to it."

Reed needs to play to his contract numbers. I thought he played like journeyman pro. I was disappointed.

I'm sure he'll have no problem getting used to DangeRuss and Co.

Hey boys, before I forget...

HUGE SHOUT OUT TO ETHAN POCIC... HELL OF A GAME YOUNG MAN.

Thanks for us no longer having to watch Joey Hunt.

Great point. The line was not outstanding, but was nice not to see someone get ragdolled every third or fourth play!

[Michael K.]

that seemed like a pretty nice overall win...put a decent defense on the field with that offense and look out

Thank you. The D wasn't good today.

Wilson was awesome. Adams was awesome. Carson and Hyde were good.

think they got the job done, they put pressure on Ryan...

I thought the pressure was the biggest thing we lacked. We did get pressure in some big spots, which is really what you want, it most of the time Ryan was pretty comfortable back there.

That's a paddlin'

They outgained us by over 100 yards. If they convert a couple of those 4th downs it is a close one. But sure, the Seahawks made the defensive stops on those high-leverage plays so kudos. I think they need to tighten up a lot of stuff though.

A lot of those numbers were during garbage time. Fantasy football is not the same as real football.

Yep, couldn’t agree more. A buddy of mine will probably lose because of it. Marty Ice was far from good, until they were down big.

All the talk about the Falcons running the ball. Gurley had what, two carries in the second half? This game never felt close to me.

Pretty good start for RW Russell Wilson 31/35 322 4 0

You know you've had a good day when your number of TDs matches your number of incompletions. Or when you convert a TD drive despite 2 sacks. This guy is just such a pleasure to watch.

Russ was beyond awesome today. Just stellar.

[Michael K.]

He was, but when was he not? My favorite part today was the fact that I can’t think of one single second and long where we simply slammed the back into the Center’s ass and wondered why we were in third and long.
