Seahawks at Raiders Win Probability

PrintThe blowout was a late bloomer, but the coming loss started as early as the Seahawks three and out that ended the first quarter and began the second. The fourth quarter collapse was painful but largely irrelevant to the game's outcome.
I am not quick to pronounce "game over." In fact, am almost unhealthy in my ability to imagine scenarios in which the Seahawks can overcome any deficit. But according to Brian Burke's win probability model, a 10-0 deficit late in the second quarter is a good indication of eventual loss. Seattle opened the second half with an 18% chance of victory.
Crazy, and that doesn't even account for Oakland's home field advantage or Seattle's inept offense.

What a butt kicking
It’ll be interesting to see how the team responds against an even tougher team next week.
Punks jump up to get beat down.
Being at home will help.
And I think Okung + Mebane? Regardless, I’m hoping this loss will really push them in the coming week.
I would buy it, if I knew it was an image from the last game our former great QB ever started for the team.
Bird Law in this country isn't governed by reason.

I am depressed by that thought
Talents I covet: Akeem Ayers, Leonard Hankerson, Knile Davis, DeMarcus Love
Matt looks old as shit in that picture.
The game really took a toll on him. I guess a porous O-Line will do that to you.
That game was so painful to watch.
For some reason seeing Richard Seymour absolutely destroy Ben Hamilton on the first sack just ended the game for me right there. Maybe it was watching the Huskies get killed by Stanford, but from that point on I just felt in my gut that I had just seen the microcosm of the entire game.
Seahawks should tank the rest of the season.
So they can draft a good young QB.
Dick Se-la Meto says hello.
You guys dont need a QB he was fine the recievers were not just making plays.
What u guys need is a new running back and a new offensive coordinator.

I think someone was listening to John Lynch too much
John Lynch might have been a great, if not dirty, NFL player. But in analyzing that game he was possibly proving himself a fool. The O-line was the biggest place to lay blame, and even then we were banged up on both sides of the line. I’m not saying we would have won or even deserved to win, but I think someone overlooked out injuries.
I do not believe you.
QB sucks, WR’s good but had a few drops. Most passes were poorly placed when he was able to get a throw off. OL line played poorly, although the fact that they lack front-line talent (pun intended) may have been a factor. Plus the QB sucked.
Hahahaahahahah
The last two things that we need.
This is seriously the worst performance by the offensive line I've seen in the last 3 years
8 sacks, and a hell of a lot more near-misses.
By the second half the “pocket” was disintegrating right off the snap.
Maybe against the Giants they should just use the wildcat, snap the ball directly to Lynch, and stack the other 10 guys up front.
I am going to come into your house at night and rec up the place.
