Game Thread: Seahawks @ 49ers 2

Jj_flag_detail1_tiny by John Morgan on Comment 253 comments

Quick Cap:

Seneca Wallace needs to step up. San Francisco's defense is going to key run from here on out. Wallace either puts it together, resemble an NFL caliber quarterback, or Seattle's offense will sputter and cede field position for the rest of the game. Seattle's special teams-their punting-is so bad, they will lose ground every time their drive stalls. Eventually, that can lose Seattle the game.

From a talent standpoint, Seattle's defense is very good, but if 2008 has taught us anything, execution and play calling decide the game. Talents wins out, but game to game, execution and play calling can be decisive. Something very quiet, but hugely important has changed the face of Seattle's defense: Retaining coverage even as a play breaks down. This is a first for this season. That, Tapp, and Wilson, yes Josh Wilson, maligned and rightfully after being abused by Eli Manning, Seattle has shown the first promising signs of recovery.

Oh and, damn right Shaun Hill. Let's get our blowout.

It's been a nice thread.

Good game. Things looking up. Maybe Hasselbeck can recover. Get him a titanium necklace.

1st quarter sack

100% Rocky? Shouldn’t it be 50-50 Rocky and Kerney?

Carlson!

Rookie QB uses his TE.

please!

stupid draw or 2-yard pass again on 8 yards or more to gain

by Misfit74 on Oct 26, 2008 3:01 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I don't think we should go to run yet....

I think we should wait tthe 4th….add to the lead

by collyb on Oct 26, 2008 3:00 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

not exclusively

but we need to run it and win the TOP – keep Gore off the field

by Misfit74 on Oct 26, 2008 3:01 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Unless he's hurt.

I think we’ll see JJ from now on. Holmgren’s hit his Morris quota.

by John Morgan on Oct 26, 2008 3:01 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Wasn't JJ pissed last week b/c holmy took him out?

Lets just keep making our leading rusher unhappy…

by collyb on Oct 26, 2008 3:02 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

8 carries 0 Yards

HAHA

It’s the group that everyone hates. Kobe, Michael Phelps, ARod, and some skateboarder dude.

by LantermanC on Oct 26, 2008 3:02 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I thought the offense was going to use the RB's in the pass game

There was only one pass to Jones for a first down. Get Jones back in next series

by hawkr on Oct 26, 2008 3:04 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

god, our blitzes suck

end result: little out pass for the first down.

Shh...

…don’t wake the SuckRuss.

I LOVE Brian Russell. He’s always the first guy to celebrate after someone ELSE makes a play.

by BiNgOsHaDo on Oct 26, 2008 3:11 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Can we play the niners every week?

What is sad is we some how lost to them, and I was there, and I still don’t know how it happened.

by GarethLewin on Oct 26, 2008 3:13 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

middle screen

how many times do we let Gore catch it in the short middle? seems like at least 6 times today easy catches there…

by Misfit74 on Oct 26, 2008 3:16 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yay Seneca...

run out of bounds for a 0 yard gain…

by LantermanC on Oct 26, 2008 3:16 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Bobby catches one!

JJ! not injured

and 10x better than Morris!

by LantermanC on Oct 26, 2008 3:18 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Finally

Let JJ finish out the game!

Awesome!!

Finally another pass to a RB!!!

by hawkr on Oct 26, 2008 3:20 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

So, does O. Schmitt score there? (P.S. I still want to see him run block and dent facemasks)

by BiNgOsHaDo on Oct 26, 2008 3:21 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

The short passing game.

Something we have to say, Wallace has been better than I’ve seen Hasselbeck all season.

by John Morgan on Oct 26, 2008 3:21 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not me.

Wallace has a healthy Engram, Robinson, and pass blocking. Oh, and a defense that got him the ball.

Matt had none of those.

by djafrot on Oct 26, 2008 3:24 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

NIce to finally get some third down conversions....

I think going into this game we have had too all year

by collyb on Oct 26, 2008 3:22 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Keep the gas pedal down

Lets keep being aggressive.

by hawkr on Oct 26, 2008 3:22 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yes! the streak remains

“The Changeling” commercial for every Hawks game so far.

by LantermanC on Oct 26, 2008 3:24 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Andre Johnson. Beast.

I want him on our team: 11-143 so far today….

by Misfit74 on Oct 26, 2008 3:24 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

This is what happens to teams who let Niko Koudivides go. Special teams get much worse

Brian Russell contibutes!

Like the Peterson “taunting” call for pointing at the back of his jersey in week 2? Hmmm…

by BiNgOsHaDo on Oct 26, 2008 3:28 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

STOP THE SHITTY BLITZES

they aren’t working. First down, every time.

by djafrot on Oct 26, 2008 3:32 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Still.

Seattle maintained coverage even as the play broke down.

by John Morgan on Oct 26, 2008 3:33 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I never thought I would say this

But that Hyundai doesn’t look bad…

by curtman118 on Oct 26, 2008 3:41 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It isn't cheap

and it gets bad mileage.
I know nothing about cars though, I thought a certain car looked good, thought it was a new jaguar, NOPE, Hyundai, close though.

by LantermanC on Oct 26, 2008 3:43 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

can some explain...

…why Mo has 10 carries, JJ 5?

by djafrot on Oct 26, 2008 3:45 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

WALTER pull blocking!

by BiNgOsHaDo on Oct 26, 2008 3:45 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

boom cha

I think that 3rd down was big. The Hawks can run.

by Will Kier on Oct 26, 2008 3:46 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Winning big in the fourth quarter

I’m not sure how to act about this. It’s unusual.

by katal on Oct 26, 2008 3:47 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

How do we save this quote for the ineveitable O Schmitt love in the offseason? :)

by BiNgOsHaDo on Oct 26, 2008 3:49 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

HOLY SHIT

Weaver making Seneca’s stats look like Peyton Manning’s.

by djafrot on Oct 26, 2008 3:48 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Weaver is a beast.

I had bad feelings about that play, but w000!

by Strang on Oct 26, 2008 3:49 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Looking forward to this week's analysis, John

Are we just playing well because we’re facing a bad team? If so, where was this kind of play previously?

by katal on Oct 26, 2008 3:49 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

So if we win this, we're two games back on Arizona...

with two games against them coming up. I mean, we have to play Philly here, the Cowboys in Dallas, a surprising Dolphins team, the ’skins here… We can still get back into this race, right?

by Strang on Oct 26, 2008 3:50 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Both teams are playing Philly and NE

Zona also has to face the NYG and Minnesota. I prefer our chances against Dallas and Miami.

by katal on Oct 26, 2008 3:53 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

True that.

That game against the Jets might have some importance after all.

by Strang on Oct 26, 2008 3:54 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Keep using the RB's in the passing game

That’s 3 passes to the backs. two for scores one for a fist down. Where has this been?

by hawkr on Oct 26, 2008 3:50 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Just landed.

Weaver wtf? Where the hell is JJ?

You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

by Scruffy Lefty on Oct 26, 2008 3:52 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Was JJ ineffective?

You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

by Scruffy Lefty on Oct 26, 2008 3:56 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He is as of now.

But when Mo Morris got tons of carries for no particular reason JJ was 4 carries for 12 yards, and Mo was like 8 carries for yarsd.

by LantermanC on Oct 26, 2008 3:57 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Fumble?

Dammit, I want us to pile it on.

by LantermanC on Oct 26, 2008 3:52 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Mebane with the doubleteam.

Glad to see the guys are stepping up when the two “qb’s” are out (Matt & Lofa)

by fender on Oct 26, 2008 3:53 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Forsett and Wilson are burners

they look like they could break one when returning

CHURCH VAN

DRIVING THE OFFENSE OUT OF HELL!

You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

by Scruffy Lefty on Oct 26, 2008 3:57 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

No kidding.

Instead of going three and out the rest of the game they should stay aggressive and give Seneca more chances.

by hawkr on Oct 26, 2008 3:58 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Random statment

but 7-9 could win our division

You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

Bryant seems to be having a good game, too.

I thought Craig Terrill was Kerney!

He just Bulled through 2 guys like nothing. I think there was a holding on him too.

Someone tell the O line,You still have to block

by hawkr on Oct 26, 2008 4:01 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Agreed.

But blowouts matters. This is meaningful, not redeeming, but meaningful.

by John Morgan on Oct 26, 2008 4:16 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Whoops, nope.

AJ Feeley started in 2002. McNabb last played us in 2001. Wow.
