Dumb. McManus has a big leg but Hackett blew the game. With that call and the two goal line plays where they were scrambling to get a play off, perfect example of why head coaches shouldn’t be calling plays.
Makes me wonder if some of Leach’s blunders weren’t because of the same reason. Managing every facet of a game as a coach is hard enough without having your face buried in a playbook…or napkin in Leach’s case. Either have an OC that’s on the same page as you call the plays or have someone else make all of the in game decisions if you want to call plays. No way you can be great at both.
At that point the thinking was it’s 4th down we can try to pick up the first and have some time left to run more plays and perhaps get closer or we can run it down and make this kick for aol the marbles. If they don’t make the first there ballgame is basically over anyways.
Was thinking the exact same thing…Hawks D made plays when it counted and bent but didn’t break. All the stats in the world don’t matter if you can’t put the ball in the endzone or through the uprights. Same game gets played 10 times Denver probably wins 8 of them by two scores. What makes the game so fun and agonizing at the same time.
Agreed. Nothing screams the need to go back to old uniforms like that game. The old hawks and broncos unis from the 80s were top shelf.
Did you think Russ was bad? Actually thought he played pretty well. He threw two catchable balls in the EZ on the drive that stalled out and seemed like they were getting plays in late from the sideline on the goal line plays where they fumbled. Also Javonte shoulda been in on the first goal line play not Gordon. That stuff isn’t on him.
He's either the best qb in the league or the most mediocre, there's no in-between it seems.
70% completion for 340 yards. No turnovers (maybe he “should” have thrown a pick but didn’t). Thought he was pretty damn good and that place was loud, and Seahawks D was jacked. I’m disappointed they didn’t finish last night but I see Russ and the Broncos being pretty good this year. I’ve watched shitty offenses and QB play the last 5 years and that’s not what I saw last night. The fumbles/penalties large credit to the crowd and won’t be done ongoing problem they can’t fix. The FG call was stupid but Hackett admitted it and moving on.
couldn't disagree more. don't care if i'm in the minority but i love the action green
Chip, color is a personal choice and you are entitled to your preferences. I did not mention the similarity to the pukey uniforms that Whoregon wears, which adds to my distaste...
Seattle should go back to the silver helmets, blue jerseys and silver pants and never look back.
Denver has a dominant D. They gave up 34 yards in the 2nd half and -13 in the 4th quarter. Very difficult to do that against any NFL team. Geno made some great plays in the first half on adrenaline. Also lions share of those 100+ yards in penalties were in the first half and called on Denver’s D…and a few were certainly home cookin calls.
