Seattle SeaBags

The 12th Bag nation and even Seattle players seem to be more unbearable than usual.

You can almost taste the tears:

And from a genuine real person on seahawks.net

The Seabag's trail of tears will bring them to Charlotte this Sunday.

Hey at least he didn't get ejected for being pissed someone tackled him after the whistle. Jk, good to hear other teams are getting faked over too. That call was bs and the fact that it happened to the champs will draw more attention to this poo officiating

I think they have a valid grief. I think it is pretty obvious the nfl told the refs this year to give huge advantages to the offense. Think about the illegal contact and defensive PI rule enforcements. Then couple that with the lack of holding calls on offense. There are so many blatant holds on the oline that are not being called it isn't even funny. Lastly, do you ever hear he commentators talking about the missed offensive holding calls? I didn't think so.

Don't believe that? Then explain to me how the Rams (a team with an absolutely dominant front four) have the least amount of sacks in the league? How a Seahawks team has failed to keep a team under 20 all year and how our defense has given up 35 plus four times.

I think it is clear the nfl wants points scored and they have altered the game to suit that. I also think that is why there seems to be so many blowouts. Teams get down to good offenses and just can't recover.

Packers, Broncos, Colts, Eagles, Patriots, Chargers, And Cowboys are the teams at the top right now. Those teams (with the exception of the broncos) all had huge question marks on the defensive side IOC the ball coming into this year. Now they are world beaters.

Defensive play in many sports was just cheap and dirty and caused unnecessary injuries and wasted the athleticism of the athletes. The rule changes are for the better.

 

As for that fumble, there was no clear evidence Sherman had it. He probably did but the pile blocked the camera. Maybe they shouldn't have got smoked on that fake punt or the punt return where they went to tackle the wrong dude.

 

Look in the mirror first.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
