Game Thread: Seahawks @ 49ers

Jj_flag_detail1_tiny by John Morgan on in Game Thread

Seattle Seahawks @ San Francisco 49ers


In week 2, Seattle sacked J.T. O'Sullivan 8 times. To accomplish that they blitzed a whopping 18 times. If a team ran a 10 man blitz on every snap, how many sacks would they record? How many passing yards would they allow? O'Sullivan threw for 321. Mike Martz would make that exchange every game. Will Seattle again blitz every 3.5 plays?

Seattle's front four should be stepped up with Darryl Tapp starting. Keeping players in coverage will allow Seattle to turn some of that pressure into interceptions. Something they couldn't do in week two.

We've talked turnovers. They're not wholly luck. They're just too random to be predicative of future success. So when I say Seattle's turnovers should regress towards the mean, I'm not exonerating their former performance, only arguing that a team with the principles of turnover creation, pass rush and run stopping, should have an above average turnover rate. Seattle hasn't. Research has shown that turnovers have no in-season consistency. The turnaround could come this week, next week or never.

I've got a good feeling about this game.

And if not, well, the fridge is well-stocked.

Rooting for Carolina

I hope they knock out the Cards’ and keep us in the division chase (even though it’s quite a chase). Panthers by 1 in fhe 4th.

Engram drop?

wtf… not a great pass but… he’s not been the automatic 3rd down he used to be.

by LantermanC on Oct 26, 2008 1:25 PM PDT   0 recs

that one's on Bobby

great execution until the catch

Gore averaging only 20 touches per game?

that’s a pretty good average I think.

by LantermanC on Oct 26, 2008 1:30 PM PDT   0 recs

not if you count receptions

I think he builds on his carries, like a lot of big backs.

Nice coaching on the secondary.

probably take him

5 years to learn our play book

by scotthawk on Oct 26, 2008 1:39 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yes, I would.

Especially if he was given five or so years in the WCO, like Seneca has.

How much did Pennington go for?

I’d rather have Boller (or JP Losman, or Kellen Clemmens, or Cleo Lemon, or Tuiasasopo! or Cody Pickett!)

WHY DO THE HOUSES EXPLODE WHEN THE TRUCKS DRIVE THROUGH THEM??

That doesn’t make any sense. Like the horse that runs off the cliff and explodes in that classic Simpsons episode.

by djwheezy on Oct 26, 2008 1:38 PM PDT   0 recs

Who is driving these obstacle courses I wonder?

People with nothing to live for? You’d have to be insance to drive through wrecking balls and cranes crashing by, and if wood explodes… well look out, you might as well just admit you’re going to die.
