Seattle was 7-5 and is now 7-6. 

The have beaten: Broncos, Lions, Cards 2x, Chargers,  Rams and Giants.  Only the Giants have a winning record atm.

Seattle has lost to every team in the NFCS, Raiders and 9ers.  They have 9ers Chiefs Jets and Rams left.  I wouldn't be surprised if they ended the season with a losing record.

Yep. There was that third down where he clearly had the first but instead threw downfield to Sullivan who barely even contested the ball. A little to Sam’s credit, the big dude looked wide open but did nothing whatsoever with his body to ensure that catch. 

Meh, it’s a bird in the hand situation. Sam seems to struggle with quick twitch decision making. The processing is a bit slow and throws everything else off. To compensate, I think we’ve been running scripted drives much of the time. None of it is optimal, but rolling the dice on Sam figuring it out is our best bet at the moment. 

Meant to quote another user, but in switching devices quoted myself. Apologies.

The problem you have is that the NFL has moved on.

We dominated the lines of scrimmage and time of possession today and only won by a TD. You literally have zero room for error playing how Wilks likes. 

In the NFL you have little room for error each week. Wilkes is playing with the personnel on the roster getting pretty near maximum efficiency.

I don't disagree with getting a new OC.  I think we need some more reliable weapons other than Moore.  You have to be able to throw the ball in this league.  That said what is best defense against a high-powered offense is running the ball and keeping them off the field. 

Get an offensive coordinator that likes to run the ball but has a good passing game to compliment that running game.

Why? If it’s because he’s a defensive coach, you still need to defend the other team. 
 

If it’s because he values the run game, you still have to do that as well unless you have a top 5 QB, and even they benefit from the run game. 

You have to have a run game to be successful. You cannot be one dimensional and win the the NFL. If the Panthers had a top 10 quarterback and established receivers you would see more passing. Wilkes is working with the tools in his toolbox.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
