Seahawks @ Bye Week Open Thread

I'm really upset we're playing the bye week on the road this time around. The worst part is the Seahawks aren't even on TV, and we can only watch the game through our imaginations. Right now Matt Hasselbeck is being dominated by velocity but the lines are doing an excellent job against oxygen. Justin Forsett broke one and busted into the second level but got tripped up by the wind for a gain of 23.
Enough about them, there are some decent but not outstanding games to watch today. I got Broncos/Ravens, Packers/Redskins, and Titans/Cowboys. The nightcap is Eagles/49ers and honestly I can see San Francisco winning that comfortably.
With no Seahawks you must root against San Fran, Arizona, and St. Louis at all costs. If you don't your house will be egged.

Probably not in a critical matchup against the Steelers
but against another opponent, I could see it factoring into the decision. Or maybe Wilson isn’t up to speed with the defense.
by John Morgan on Oct 10, 2010 11:53 AM PDT up reply actions
Actually, that might make sense against the Steelers
They aren’t winning games on the back of their passing attack.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Oct 10, 2010 11:56 AM PDT up reply actions
That's a possibility
but isn’t that cost (the difference between a 4th and a 5th) very minor in comparison to having a much stronger secondary against division rivals?
And if they wanted to avoid the increased cost, wouldn’t it be a better idea to do that later in the season (when they had a better idea of their playoff prospects) or against teams with weaker passing offenses like TB or CLE?
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Oct 10, 2010 11:50 AM PDT up reply actions
Depends how much the Steelers use three wide receiver sets with Batch as quarterback
That’s a run first offense without Roethlisberger, so I can see not sweating the nickelback or stressing something else, like special teams contribution or run defense.
I think you would sit Wilson while he’s still learning the system. Some teams “red shirt” players while they learn the system.

Here's my understanding of the rules
(as described before ratification by John Clayton):
©ompetition committee co-chairman Rich McKay said. “We would propose language that would say that if a receiver has completed the catch and has not had time to protect himself, a defensive player is prohibited from launching into him in a way that causes the defensive player’s helmet, face mask, shoulder or forearm to forcibly strike the receiver’s head.”

So, I asked Sando about comparing Mirer to Bradford, and he replied thusly:
I didn’t really study Mirer back then, but from what I remember, Bradford would appear light years ahead in decision making, leadership, accuracy, etc. But I did not study Mirer.
Looking at the splits, Mirer had one TD and two INT in third-and-long situations as a rookie. Bradford had two third-and-10 TDs against Seattle alone and entered this game with 91.3 rating in that situation.
But it’s really early for Bradford. So far, so good. Mirer had some good moments as a rookie too.
......And Malkin scores on the rebound!

True
but even in the 4-3 he was put in position to be a pass-rusher more than Curry was.
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Oct 10, 2010 2:48 PM PDT up reply actions
As I understand it
The Redskins signed Orakpo because he was a great pass-rusher and then tried to put him in position to use his skills as a pass-rusher (while incorporating him into their 4-3 scheme).
We signed Curry because he was a great LB and tried to make him do a bunch of different things before deciding that he was getting confused and his job needed to be simplified. This year, his role is being clarified and he’s being sent into the backfield more (despite a lot of production in that regard while in college), but Curry still probably has fewer pass-rushing opportunities than Orakpo.
I wouldn’t want to argue that Curry is a better pass-rusher, but its not totally fair to compare their sack totals (given the responsibilities they’ve been given.

I'm surprised at some of the responses. Some people are so black and white.
If someone gave me a preseason projection of 2-14 or 10-6 for the Hawks, I wouldn’t say they were crazy. Even when were were winning a few years ago, I wouldn’t laugh at a 6-10 projection.
Has anyone else noticed that every week there has been atleast 1 New York team in a Sunday/Monday night game?
Could be something to do with that East coast bias.
I would.
The NFL shouldn’t base which teams get seen based on which teams have the biggest markets. I know that it makes them more MONEY to do so, but it’s certainly not “fair”.
Well, the NFL does have revenue sharing.
It does try to make sure that all teams in the league have an equal opportunity to shine. I would think that they are also interesting in making sure that this extends to the average fan’s ability to see a wide variety of teams play. But it clearly doesn’t.
I realize it’s a business. But so is the NFL. And if the NFL wants to go the way of the MLB, where only a few teams get any attention, that’s their prorogative… but it’s dangerous.
They should focus on the best matchups.
Not Just big markets. The fact that the Hawks havent had a night game in a few years is ridiculous.

Yeah, Giants Bears was crap.
No way they knew last year the Bears wouldn’t be 0-3 going into that game.
Pretty much all change starts that way.
Who knows who reads this board….
Change starts when there's a reason to change
good ideas like serving large markets that draw big ratings tend to last.
I'd argue that it's in the NFL's interests to ensure "viewing parity".
Not the networks’. Obviously they want ratings. But if the NFL wants to ensure that it doesn’t go the way of the MLB, they need to ensure that smaller markets don’t feel left out.
I’ve always admired the NFL for going against the grain and taking steps to ensure parity between the teams/markets. The networks? Fuck them.
Salary cap does that.
Doesn’t revenue sharing ensure that various small-market teams stay economically viable?
Can anyone explain to me...
why Fox doesn’t have a national broadcast at 1 pm?
I’m watching Tennessee/Dallas (CBS) because it’s the only game on, while my local Fox station is broadcasting poker. Why don’t they feed the Saints & Cards? There’s no production cost (the game has to be broadcast in some markets).
I can only guess two reasons:
One, maybe CBS has ponied up the money to the NFL for an exclusive national broadcast slot. But that means they’d have to earn as much from one game as CBS + Fox would earn from two.
Two, maybe Fox and the NFL are playing chicken and nobody will flinch. I.e., their contract allows the NFL to set a price for a national broadcast, and Fox won’t pay that price because they don’t think the revenue will justify it. But that seems like a stupidly-written contract that hurts both sides (it could be written so that Fox pays a fee based on viewership, protecting them from risk).
Don't they alternate weeks?
Every market gets 3 games during the day on Sunday (in the absence of a blackout), one on Sunday night and one on Monday?
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Oct 10, 2010 3:34 PM PDT up reply actions
That sounds correct, but why?
Why alternate the national broadcast in the afternoon slot instead of just having two national broadcasts? Wouldn’t that generate more revenue?
Third guess: They want to limit availability to push people into expensive cable/satellite packages.
And here I thought it was 'cause we need more infomercials.

I've been thinking
that our hybrid 3-4/4-3 might be a prelude to a full-blown 3-4 and Mebane might be a little short to be a great 3-4 end. Or the guys in charge might just realize that he’s a special talent and find a way to fit him into the scheme.

They don't?
I would have guessed that smaller is better, because there’s less wear on the knees, ankles, and back.
Unless there’s sort of a statistical bias because smaller guys only make the NFL with superior speed, then lose viability when the speed flags, whereas a big guy can keep playing with a combination of size and technique.
He's playing an under tackle in a 4-3 with mostly 3-4 personnel.

I would be miserable for ages if Mebane was let go.

With an even home/away split in their remaining games, the Seahawks final record of 8.8 wins and 8.2 losses has now been established.”

The 49ers falling on their face again will make my day.

The Chargers have a great offense and defense
All three of their losses can be pinned on special teams. My unprofessional opinion is that special teams is less dependent on personnel (than O or D), so the problems can be corrected by a combination of practice and conservative ST play.
But right now, I think we can say the Jets are good without any caveats.
So... anybody else think Carroll will go Wildcat?
- - Michael Robinson throws pretty well for a running back (or whatever he’s supposed to be)
- - The acquisition of Lynch gives Seattle the necessary inside runner
- - Hasselbeck is… Hasselbeck
- - We have a bye week to learn the plays.
- - Chicago has a good run defense, but their pass defense is downright brutal (2nd best in the league at 6.0 yards/attempt). The surest way to keep Julius Peppers from lying on top of the quarterback is to not have a quarterback in.
Funny, it was five reasons when I typed it up, but I guess there's only one reason now
The forum markup parser is remarkably opinionated.
Chicago's pass defense isn't as great as it looks, according to DVOA.
13th best in the NFL which is only five spots better than the Seahawks’ pass defense.
Interesting. Thank you.
I popped over to Football Outsiders and entered each team’s pass defense and rush defense efficiency rating into a spreadsheet. Then I created a column showing the difference, to see if it would reveal a favorable run or pass strategy for any given team.
Not surprisingly, the league average was 14.7% in favor of passing (that is, it would be 14.7% more efficient to pass against the average team, meaning the average defense was less effective against the pass). Chicago had a rushing defense efficiency of -8.8% and a passing defense at 6.1%, for a difference 14.9% in favor of rush defense (or 14.9% in favor of passing against them), which is almost dead average.
Seattle had the biggest differential, at 47.7% in favor of passing against them. There were nine teams whose numbers suggested a rush-heavy strategy would be favorable against their defense. Six of these were over 10%:
GB = -33.6%
PHI = -24.6%
NYG = -22.0%
BAL = -17.2%
SD = -15.1%
CIN = -12.1%
But, even though Chicago’s rush vs pass defense is league-average, I think it would be worth trying a few wildcat plays with our personnel to see if the package creates challenges via unfamiliarity (and to give their pass rushers something else to think about). But if it doesn’t work, we certainly shouldn’t press it.

Very useful. Thanks Coach.
Ticketmaster’s exchange has many more options (though the prices are pretty much the same), so I’ll probably use that.
I sold one via Ticketmaster for the San Diego game
I sold it on the Friday before the game, and they did the electronic thing. I assume the e-ticket was delivered just fine, because I got paid.
Stubhub has been pretty reliable for me in the past.
In fact, ordered tickets for the same game and they came a day or two later.

OT: Browns are desperate at QB
Wallace is hurt, Delhomme might still be (and he sucks). I know this has been brought up before, but if any team in the league might have an interest in Hass, it’s Cleveland. Fourth rounder?
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
Hass for a 4th-rounder, and Wallace
Then we play Wallace and raise the value of the conditional pick we’re getting from Cleveland. If Holmgren balks, we throw in Locklear.
Seriously though…
I can’t imagine Scheider and Carroll trading Hasselbeck while they still have hope for the season. Especially if there’s no quarterback in the return trade, as that would leave us with only one QB on the roster.
I think they were offering a 3rd over the offseason
I can’t see them offering less mid-season.

Yeah, Frank Gore has lost a step.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Crabtree is showing up for sure.
He just gets open. And tonight he seems to be in a mood to hang on to the ball.

“Touted as Super Bowl contenders…”
Gawd, it never ends. Minnesota starts 1-2 after running up a 12-4 record and barely missing the Super Bowl. Kansas City goes from 4-12 to start 3-0. San Diego matches last season’s loss total after 5 games. Tampa Bay matches last season’s win total after 4 games.
Does Jerry Jones, like, own all the media?
Lol...Anthony Davis doing his best Alex Barron impression.

Not a great day for me
The entire AFC South wins except the Texans, and then the Cardinals upset the Saints putting them a half game over us.

Wrong week to start Frank Gore.
Wrong year to draft him.

This game isn't as bad as I thought it would be
But it’s bad enough to remind me the 49ers are turnover machines.

Well there's the most embarrassing play allowed by the Niners this season

Are the Atlanta Falcons currently the best team in the NFC?
Preseason darlings Green Bay, New Orleans, Dallas and Minnesota are all struggling.
There is a lot of number two in the NFC.

I have the Philly D
My chances of making up the 15 point difference between me and the guy I’m going against went from 0.5% to 3.8%. Let’s see some pick 6’s!
I was enjoying it.
But now it’s actually kinda sad.
I mean no matter how much I hate a team or a QB.
To hear your home crowd booing you and chanting for a new QB, that’s ultimate failure and it’s got to feel so low.

As much as I hate the 9ers.
They could be looking at Luck. Hopefully Smith shows enough ability that they stay out of the top 5 pick.
The Bills have the inside track on Luck.
I wouldn’t worry about it.
