Would we have won yesterday?

I think we would have lost by 20. Our offense in no way compares to San Francisco, they have elite receivers and Gore is a beast. Yet, the only offense they generated was on huge runs by Kaeperick because the running lanes were open because the Seahawks had to worry about every single receiver on the field. Defensively, we wouldn't have done worse than the 49ers, that's for sure.

San Francisco scored more points yesterday than we have scored in our last two games combined against Seattle (and both were in our stadium).  So its highly unlikely we would have done as well as sf.  We have to get better at some positions on offense before we can beat a team like Seattle, especially on their home turf.

I sincerely think we could have and would have won.  I believe it is tough to beat a good team twice in the same year and just as San Fran beat us here after we beat them there, I believe the same thing would have happened in Seattle with us, with us being so much better at the end of the year than the opener (Beason was a starter (who played a bad game) and Godfrey was our leading tackler for goodness sakes).  I also believe it is Peyton Manning's year to get his second Lombardi, so I'm not gonna play the "what if" game.  I am comforted in knowing that we will get either a TE/WR that Seattle/NE want, CB that San Fran wants, or OL that Denver wants next May, while Peyton cements his legacy as the best ever (until Cam is in 15 years).

    • The Bucs waived shilo sanders after he got ejected. 
    • I'm just tired of ppl saying he's so accurate and then have to see recievers slow down to recieve the ball, ruining any chance at YAC
    • Some people will really look at stuff like this and say "no more excuses" but then make excuses to try and explain away the validity of big-time throws. 🙃   Back on topic though, as I mentioned in the other AT thread earlier, I hope that the team is still exploring the deal. If the Vikings want the Panthers to take on some of the salary, then it had better be at worst a 4th-round pick (though I imagine Dan angling for a 3rd). If they're willing to take on all of it, then maybe at worst a 5th. Tough pill to swallow, giving up a 4th for a 35yr old WR, but if MIN believes they can have similar success behind McCarthy then it could be a smart deal for them. Hell, if AT has any gas in the tank and gives them a 1yr sweetheart deal to close out at home, even better for Minnesota. Yea, Bryce loses his best and most reliable WR. Hunter Renfrow though isn't what I would call a huge step down though (if he's as advertised throughout camp), and it gives more reps to TMac + XL + Coker. This season is all about continued development and answering some of the looming questions (Is Bryce the guy? Is Evero the DC going fwd? How do the young WRs develop? How long does it take this defense to bounce back from being historically awful?).
