I'm not the smartest guy in the world. I sure as shit ain't anything else. And when you kinda suck, you bust your ass `cause that's all you got. That's what no one can give you and no one can take away.
But when you're talented, and skilled, and deep and you've sailed atop your success wondering why no one notices you - you're my enemy. You're the scum of the earth.
I hope that's exactly how Seattle feels right now. Like the worst Goddamn team in the NFL, because it's going to take the determination of the born loser to recover from this utterly shameful performance.
One unit showed today - and GODDAMN RIGHT they were still laying hits in the 4th. Seattle's defense is fine. Good job, you're excused.
Seattle's offense deserves the three headed rancor of Mike Ditka, Vince Lombardi and Joe Paterno. To be so easily solved by the simplest and oldest tactic in the defensive playbook, the blitz, and to not make adjustments until game over in the fourth quarter is proof of lax preparation and an attitude of defeat. Let's face it, once again Mike Holmgren was overmatched and outcoached by a young defensive coordinator. Watching Buffalo's defense stand and mill about the line presnap and Seattle incapable of responding, it was Pittsburgh all over again. Modern tactics defusing a now ancient offense.
But it was special teams that lost today's game. My expert analysis: I think firing Bruce DeHaven is perfectly justifiable. Should Seattle and will it fix their special teams? Probably not. Probably. But all the long snappers in the world can't fix bad angles on coverage, complete obliviousness on a Pop Warner fake field goal, and stupid, greedy, game deciding return play. Josh Wilson returned the ball like he could win it all with another five yards.
And yet...
I'm not the least discouraged about this team. I know they are better than this. And I believe, Goddammit I have to believe, that every ounce of arrogance and entitlement just got beat out of them. And come next Sunday they will play as hard as the worst team in football.

Said this in the game thread
but this is like the Jaguars game in ’05. Just a ugly road loss.
Carlson looks good as did Josh Wilson and Bryant.
You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

If he can just cut back on those false start penalties
Carlson is going to be a fine addition to this team.

Well
Kelly Jennings had a terrible game. He has to go after the ball instead of giving the ball to the receiver. That said, Evans is very very very very very tall and Jennings is 5’9 I believe.
The secondary as a whole played very well until this blowout began.
Again, just 1 sack allowed by Buffalo. Where is the pressure on the road?
And this offensive line was also garbage, and a lot of the pressure was on the left or center of Hasselbeck. Hutchinson and Tobeck need to come back!
The receivers and Hasselbeck didn’t gel, and you shouldn’t expect them to. He didn’t play in the pre-season, the starters were injured, so the offense will be rusty.
Tight end position looks iffy, but as long as Carlson stays still before Hasselbeck gets the snap, I think he’s got a bright future.
You would swear this was 2004 all over again, dropped passes. lack of protection, blown out on the road.
Hasselbeck….nightmare with this pick as I type.
This was quite possibly the worst game since we started winning the NFC West, it’s opening day, we always start slow, tough luck.
As long as Burleson isn’t injured to the point of missing 2 months, this should be good. Remember, 2 home games and a bye week before the game in the Meadowlands. We should be 2-1 heading into the bye week with Branch and Engram coming back, because Engram and Burly are literally the only reliable WRs in here.
Horrible game all around, hopefully this is just 2005 all over again, but we win the Super Bowl. The 12th Man will be boisterous and there will be a beating coming towards San Fran and St. Louis.

Crap, I was thinking about James Hardy
Then that makes it even worse.
Jennings looked horrible still.
Holmgren left me speechless. The playcalling should go to the offensive coordinator, he should stop calling the plays. I’m tired of 3rd and 13 ending up as a draw play. It’s so mechanical, if this was the new look offense, it sure looks like a newer version of last year’s offense.

disagreed on the 3rd and long draw
It works sometimes… probably as well as any fifteen yard pass.
And it doesn’t risk a turnever, which a fifteen yard pass into prevent coverage quite often does.
Plus, it at least always gets SOME yardage back.

But when you are getting 3 or 4 yards, it doesn't matter.

by SSreporters on Sep 7, 2008 1:38 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
yes it does
all yardage matters.
but the main point is the lessened risk of turnovers.
John, how about doin’ some research for me? I want to know if the 3rd and long draws are as effective as long throws, in terms not only of turnovers but actually getting the first.
by djafrot on Sep 7, 2008 1:40 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I know a while back...
that draw was valuable. I think mostly because it put Seattle in better field goal range. I think how it’s often used now, the team would be just as good taking a knee. 4 yards before a punt is more or less a forfeited play.
by John Morgan on Sep 7, 2008 1:44 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
but...
is it not a better option than dropping Matt back under all that pressure? That’s how you not only get INT’s and sacks (losing yardage), you risk getting Matt hurt.
3rd and long pretty much IS a forfeited play, anyhow. Why not get some yards out of it?

If it's 3rd and 11+
I understand a draw, but ordinary third and long is converted pretty often and to run a play that essentially can’t convert because your are scared of a turnover or injury is just bad football.
by John Morgan on Sep 7, 2008 1:54 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

abominable
how much can you even say about the offensive skill players when the OL was getting flattened on almost every play? Hasselbeck getting sacked literally a half second after the snap is absurd. Our RBs getting overrun as soon as they get the handoff.
A) catch the ball
B) the OL plays like we know they can
that’s not expecting too much, but it should be an easy improvement. in theory.
by Will Kier on Sep 7, 2008 1:36 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
oh yeah, the extra field goal
IIRC that was three straight passes by Seattle after they got possession back at the end of the first half. About 9 seconds run off the clock, Buffalo gets back into possession for a bonus field goal. One of those downs has to be a running play to take at least an extra 10 seconds off or force the Bills to use another timeout.

3rd and 10 at SEA 25 (:45) (Shotgun) M.Hasselbeck pass incomplete deep middle to J.Putzier. Overthrown, receiver at BUF 48.
4th and 10 at SEA 25 (:40) R.Plackemeier punts 22 yards to SEA 47, Center-J.Robinson, out of bounds.

One more reason I was really surprised Seattle didn't cut Putz.
The guy is awful. Seattle reads way too much into practice and way too little into talent. And by Seattle I mean the coaching staff.

I know it's bunched up in the special teams
But Placks’ knee injury affected his punting. That, and he has regressed year after year. Scary sounding but it’s true. He had some clunkers and certainly you shouldn’t be kicking to Roscoe Parrish.
Do it like the CFL, time to teach Mare how to punt. Placks has lost any distance his leg had achieved in his rookie season, and his accuracy is mediocre.

I'm not feeling all the Holmgren hate
I could understand ragging on Solari if you have to pick a coach (not named DeHaven that is), but the offensive line was terrible and this wasn’t Peyton Manning against the Steeler in the ‘05 playoffs. They weren’t calling 7 step drops or naked boot legs or anything, the defensive line for Buffalo was simply man handling the Hawks line. I can think of 3 plays where the ball was barely handed off before the running back was tackled, there was the Kawika Mitchell blitz where Hasselbeck was sacked before he took a step back, and the play the announcers highlighted when Stroud obliterated Sims. That was purely a talent issue.
Add in that the starting recievers were Nate, Taylor, and Payne, and then that Nate got hurt, I’m not sure what you wanted Holmgren to do. More dedication to the run game would have been nice I guess, but where would that have gotten them? Holmgren can’t just dial up the “no sack” play, or the “suddenly have NFL quality recievers” play.

I think a lot of people would agree with you.
It is my opinion that much of what is perceived as the offensive line getting dominated was in fact a failure to adjust to Buffalo’s constant blitzing. It’s certainly something I will look into.
by John Morgan on Sep 7, 2008 4:22 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
It was partly a scheme issue
in that they kept trying to put a back, usually Jones I think, up almost under center to try to pick up rushers coming through the middle. That failed in most cases, and that falls on Holmgren to change the scheme. But the reason it was failing wasn’t that the scheme was inherently flawed, it was that the guys were getting physically dominated. At least thats how I saw it. Like I said, everyone dropped the ball on this one, but I don’t think Holmgren is the guy we should be pointing to first.

He’s just cocky and doesn’t give his opponents any credit, and there’s a story where he told the Patriots owner that “drafting me was the best thing you’ve ever done” while he was still a 3rd string QB. Yes he’s good and can back up the talk, but it still doesn’t make his attitude any less douchebaggy. “We’re only gonna score 17 points?” he scoffed at Burress.

He wants to be known as the best. Its not his fault that the only way WR make great money in the NFL is to go after endorsement deals. His name has become a profitable brand for any company that wants to use him as a advertiser.

I was the poor bastard that had Tom Brady on my Field Gulls fantasy football team.

Well than why is he a douchebag?
He works hard. Plays everydown. Once he is on the field he does whatever is asked of him.

Sure, sure.
He just sounds ignorant sometimes when he’s complaining. He had a website online asking for support for his trade. He has basically the whole city begrudgingly, if at all, liking him for his play but nothing else. Maybe I’m just spoiled with the Hawks quality guys on and off the field, but Chad seems in it for himself. Like he’s playing every down and trying to be amazing for his own career, not for the team. Trying to look like he’s worth having to another team while strictly dissavowing his team, rather than try to help being a leader and carry the team. Or at least just shut up while putting up. The complaints are just undue. If you want to get traded then you should have the where-with-all to be a man about it and take care of it on a professional level, agent to personnel dept.

Well if you had his defense you might feel the same way :)

Christ I hate that word.
It’s been drained of all meaning.
This
is a douchebag.
Ocho Cinco, no matter how much you may hate him is not this
because that is a douchebag.
Any person you don’t like is not automatically a douchebag.
There are scumbags
assholes
asshats
and then there are douchebags.
I hope that’s instructive.

Best and most
instructive post you’ve ever written. Thank you John, your football commentary is spot on. Concise and to the point reporting on the why’s and where-for’s of douchebaggery.
P.S. That was not sarcasm, I’m really giving you props.

Hey guys – Bills fan here. Just wanted to give y’all props for being a class organization and, more importantly, a classy blog. Enjoyed chatting with some of you, as well as John, this week.
Your defense is still disgustingly good. Have fun ripping apart the NFC West again this year.

haha, with his injury concerns?
with this team’s karma, he’d have been hurt on the first day of training camp.
Didn’t do much for Carolina today, either… and that was without Steve Smith on the field.

We should start a pool for missed games by DJ Hackett. Actually, games played might be more appropriate…

Hackett vs Taylor Payne and/or Kent
I’ll take Hackett everyday.
I'd like to kick Josh Brown in the privates!
by The Manchild on Sep 7, 2008 9:57 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Uh, Hackett isn't playing for the league minimum like Payne or Kent probably is.
Not to mention that I don’t think he would re-sign here if we were going to slot him 5th on the depth chart.

well
that was our worst dream come true
our o-line sucked so hard that it’s not even funny. our receivers couldn’t really catch a ball. we were humiliated with a school-yard trick play. our special teams unit looked like that of a high school team.
any optimism for this season after this loss, or are we going 7-9?
by Woodinville_12thMan on Sep 7, 2008 6:16 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
we win next two
both are at home, then the bye, and get branch and engram back.
I’m hopeful, still 12-4

What a terrible game
Just sloppy all over, and now what probably would have been our #1-#4 starting receivers are all out with injury.
Courtney Taylor had an abysmal game as well.

Anyone else think Culpepper is going to NE?
You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

Not sure, but I'm confident NE's front office will be calling him.
by BrianL on Sep 7, 2008 6:38 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Already heard there bringing Chris Simms up for a tryout
But I think the Culpepper has to at least make the call himself

Depends on how seriously Culpepper wanted to retire.
I can see him sitting back and letting NE come to him first.
by BrianL on Sep 7, 2008 6:45 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
well he just didn't want to be a backup
I don’t think this would be the case in NE

It's all about leverage.
If NE makes the call first, Culpepper is in the driver’s seat.
by BrianL on Sep 7, 2008 6:49 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
nah, Culpepper wants to come back
he’ll do anything for money…even the minimum
still, it would be interesting to see how him and moss reunite

Guys, Burleson is fine, he will play next week apparently.....no word on Morris.

Have your opinion.
But we could pick up a blocking TE somewhere to have hands like Moss’s on the field and I’d say, “well okay, now Hass has a proven target.” Can you imagine Branch, Engram, and Moss? That would be the most, THE most effective WR corp in the game of football, forget tight ends.

Depends.
Do we have the mustard on the practice squad for these pretzels?
and are these the straight pretzels, or the pretzels in the knot shape? We could be talking including a conditional draft pick with Landry if they have the mustard inside.

Back when you were in the AFC I would have enjoyed this outcome—now that you are in the NFC I think it stinks.
What the heck happened?! I thought you guys were supposed to be a SB contender this year?
