San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks - Open Thread
by John Morgan on Dec 6, 2009 12:39 PM PST
Email
PrintEvery Seahawk is playing for their job. The coaching staff Tim Ruskell hired is playing for their respective jobs. Greg Knapp must field an NFL offense, whether he has the talent to do so or not. Seattle's multiheaded braintrust must exhibit a defense that can dominate at home or face dismal and dispersal. Jim Mora is in danger of being fired after one season - his second forced exit in as many head coaching jobs. Mora is fighting for his right to head coach in the NFL.
Ruskell is playing for his future through his talent. Ruskell branded talent is endangered. Seattle losing down the stretch will force a complete rebuild. Beloved Seahawks could be moved. Seattle might embrace short term collapse for long term gains.
The San Francisco 49ers are further along their rebuilding process than Seattle. They have high first-round starters on offense and defense, some entering their prime and some, like Alex Smith, just now playing like a professional. Ruskell can prove post-mortem that his way was working, and that though Seattle is not a contender this season, he was building a contender for the future. That he had accomplished in two years, and after prolonging his team's title chances, a working rebuild, further along than San Francisco and from lesser resources.
Seattle must win. Every player, every decision is being audited. Contenders play for glory. Beheaded franchises facing a second straight losing season play for their careers.

"If, now this is a hypothetical, If I were offered the job, I would start with the offensive line" Mike Holmgren on KJR
Do you really think Mora could be fired?
He sure is in a tough spot.
Crappy.
I’d prefer that it not be a situation where Mora has to coach to win without any thought of the future, i.e. I’d rather him focus on seeing who can play than forcing veterans in there just to win games.
Not that I don’t want to win games…

Unfortunately I don’t have a laptop and my tv is not in the office so I will be leaving once the game starts. I will be back at the half.
"If, now this is a hypothetical, If I were offered the job, I would start with the offensive line" Mike Holmgren on KJR
Watching Campbell right now.
He looks pretty good. I’d sign this guy.
Hm?
Reference-detector is on the fritz this morning.
I'm betting not a lot of Seahawk fans would want Campbell.
Akin to a Julius Jones situation… “if the Skins don’t want him, neither should we”.
I think Seattle fans want more of a clear path
Picking up Campbell at the end of his contract doesn’t really fall under that category.
Unless the new GM’s philosophy involves rebuilding in Free Agency.

not Campbell, I want his coach, Jim Zorn, back in Seattle

I think Al Davis makes them a Rag Tag bunch with his attitude; so coaching won't help.
"If, now this is a hypothetical, If I were offered the job, I would start with the offensive line" Mike Holmgren on KJR
No way.
If he’s successful and we end up losing to them in a playoff game… we’ll be hearing about it for years from insufferable pro-Holmy people.
I just want someone to come make this team a contender again
If that means Holmgren, Shannehan or whomever, I don’t care.

And thus by their reasoning, he couldn’t do anything here at all.

Even if we win out
we have to have so much go our way, AFS says we still only have 13% of a chance http://www.advancednflstats.com/2009/12/nfc-playoff-picture-wildcards.html
Re-read that, it says 20%
It's a little wrong to say a tomato is a vegetable, it's very wrong to say it's a suspension bridge
Maths...
“If they win the rest of their games to finish 9-7, they have a 7% chance of winning the division and a 13% chance of a wild card.”
That doesn’t add up to 20%, that two different scenarios with their own probabilities.

Not doing this again. If you can’t figure it out, don’t worry about it.
"Bashing on Hasselbeck"
Do you even read what I write or just make up generalizations from the comments?
Sure, but since he's been back he seems slower and not as good as I remember him
but that might just be observer error.
The human body is not a car
The Seahawks didn’t install a new back. An injury that kept him out half of the season could still be debilitating even if he’s healthy enough to play.
If his problem is just injury, or rust that's good
He’s one of my favorite hawks, I hope he’s back to full force next year.
Although he missed half the year due to being on the PUP, it is possible he was ready to play earlier than he was allowed to play.
As much as I dislike Singletary he lets his talent do what they do best
which is about 90% of coaching.

Well, they're not David Carr/Joey Harrington types.
Which is good. I always find it odd that early QBs seem to be pro bowlers or out of football in 5 years (or I guess maybe it’s because those QBs get more attention).
Oh I just meant guys like Trent Dilfer, who was an early pick,
but isn’t talked about so much because he’s not Ryan Leaf or Peyton Manning. But it could just be because he’s older.

I say they run a mix of passes and runs….
Dammit
That block in the back was so unnecessary too

Holy Christ these announcers are awful.

A break for Seattle!
Quick, look before it goes away.
whenever they hand the ball to Jones
I think they play a pre-recorded message… “Jones for a couple” and go grab a cup of coffee

Is the reason butler doesn't get more touches
because our QB just isn’t the same anymore or is he actually a bust?
Weird
O’Neill reported that we’re wearing the green alternates. We aren’t, but we are wearing the dark blue pants we wore with the limes earlier. Why wear two shades of blue that are so close to eachother?

I think it's time to decide, who are you supporting in the SB, colts or saints?
(Sure sure, I know it’s not decided, but it’s almost half time and it’s a fun question)

If we're lucky we'll get NO vs Minny in the NFC title game.
Those dream matchups never happen though.
I like Drew Brees, I just don't want to see the Saints win.

It'd be interesting to see a 'love/hate' chart over the years with Babs.
Lots of fluctuation on that thing.
Good D. Let's keep Tapp in there!

Lets get a little something going to end the half

41 seconds left
no time to run screens…. hitches and outs only

no if it was holmgren
the give would have been to griffith
Wow
I thought that was a hell of a smart series. It’s not like Seattle was going to construct a drive on outs. High reward and almost zero risk.
If we were legitimately in a playoff race...maybe
It reaks of playing not to lose. Now is time to dialup the risk meter just a little to show whether you’ve got some tools in the box or not. I’m not saying throw interceptions but why screen on 1st down when failure will put you in the 2nd and 15 we ended up in and relatively limited in options.
The chances of scoring in that situation are low anyways.
San Fran isn’t good against screens, it’s a throw that Matt can still make with confidence and we seem to run it pretty well.
SEA!
I don't think its about percentages anymore
Its about talent and scheme evaluation
Yeah, that screen was a good call.
Little chance of a turnover and it always has a chance to break for a big gain.
SEA!
With all sports writers breaking stuff on twitter and me being gone during the GM meetings next week.
It just made a ton of sense.

Very true.
Make sure you link up to Geoff Baker, Larry Stone, and Shannon Drayer.

He’s Letterman’s lead writer, and twitters pretty much only commentary on sports, generally smirk worthy or better.
