Because there can never be too many threads about how horrible this guy is.

I saw the Observer gave the special teams unit a B for the game because we pooch kicked it to Harvin. Yippee.

If Rhys Lloyd can no longer kick it into the endzone, what purpose does he serve? Kasay can pooch kick the ball (in our out of bounds) can't he? Hell, he can get it to the 10 at least, which is all Lloyd has been doing. Total waste of a roster spot for a kicker who can't do the one job he's on the team to do.

Also lost in last night's win was another horrific job by both the punt and kickoff teams, as well as Cap'n and Cap'n's kick coverage team. At this point, not losing yardage or muffing a punt on a return means we're doing something extraordinary. There is NEVER a chance of us breaking a punt or kick for a TD.

And the penalties...

How does this guy still have a job?

I don't think that kick was on purpose... looked like he flubbed it to me and we got lucky that it stayed in bounds... his other kickoffs looked pretty good. KO and PR coverage looked better last night (for the most part) than it has all season, with the exception of that one where Baker had to knock the guy out.

But yeah, I still think Crossman sucks, one decent game doesn't change that.

There were several pooch kicks, and they were all intentional.

OK, I only saw that one... I have no idea, just didn't look intentional to me...

Crossman and at least One of our kickers need to go.

Kinda ridiculous were practically wasting roster spots because they're to chicken poo to cut ties.

I'm torn on this... Kasay is still money inside 40 yards, so it's hard to get rid of that, especially when you look around the league at so many kickers that are NOT making field goals, but it does suck that he can't kickoff... they need to find a punter that can kickoff...

I agree with Sultan though time for Kasay to hang it up.

it is pretty hard to find good kickers but he isn't getting the job done anymore. I feel bad about him leaving but you have to make a business decision and pull the plug. If Fox is still here he is staying unless he retires though. Loyalty first remember?

As opposed to what? Having a thrid string player who wont play? What wrong with having both on there?

you would rather have a guy kicking off that is obviously not getting as many touchbacks opposed to a guy that can possibly stop a return man from getting to the endzone? or a guy that can give us some depth A La hollis thomas or a james anderson type?

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with.

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
