meh....if he had been turning the ball over i'd be more worried.

there's going to be mistakes and areas that he needs to grow in. anyone who wasn't expecting them is naive. i have no doubt he'll be owning his mistakes and will work at fixing them. i'd much rather find out what he needs to fix at this point than later. this is a safe time to have those things pointed out so they can be worked on. sure, it's coming up on crunch time but there's still time to improve and he will.

the right side of the oline was crap and the WRs were having issues getting open. the RBs weren't getting anywhere either. you can hang some of it on him but not the majority of it. the penalties were killer.

truthfully i'm more concerned about the interior dline than anything. gamble being made out of glass is also a bit disconcerting.

I don't think Cam is ready yet.

Not just due to what he has or hasn't shown on the field. With the play of our o-line, the lack of a decent #2 wideout, no running game, and frankly, questionable play calling, we could go winless with Cam at the helm. I think he is regressing due to overload of information and it may be time to take a step back and let him develop at a slower pace.

It probably won't make any difference anyway. Jimmy will get killed behind this o-line before the end of the half in Arizona, and Cam will need to play anyway.

This, by far. And Gamble also looked completely overmatched by Green, which doesn't bode well.

I'm just glad he's not tossing picks everywhere. He just has throwing issues, which are correctable in time.

As a fan of this team Im impressed we have a QB who isnt an INT machine for a change, he just has to become more consistent with his accuracy and build that chemistry with his guys. I was impressed with his runs tonight as well. He's definitely a guy that has to be accounted for as a scrambler.

      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.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
