Enemy Reaction 2018: Seahawks bye week special edition

The Seattle Seahawks had their bye week, but that doesn’t mean Enemy Reaction takes a break! We have several games to recap — not all of them, but the important ones! — including the stunning extra point miss by Justin Tucker, the play that got Blake Bortles benched, the dramatic 4th quarter rally by the Carolina Panthers over the Philadelphia Eagles, and much more.

As this is an “All Enemies” special edition, we’re only focusing on game thread screenshots, of which this week’s set is absolutely incredible. I swear there are at least three winning teams on here where you don’t even know that they actually won the game. Enjoy!

Enemy Preaction: Detroit Lions

---

For my money, the Eagles top the week just for that one guy who suggested they fire Doug Pederson, whom after literally winning the Super Bowl decided that he’s taken the team as far as he can. Never change, Philly fans.

The Detroit Lions are next up for the Seattle Seahawks and it is going to be a tough game. After years of futility, the Lions may have finally found their long-term answer at running back, as second-round rookie Kerryon Johnson has racked up 444 yards on just 69 carries. They also have a deep receiving corps with Marvin Jones, Kenny Golladay, and a certain Golden Tate to throw to. Detroit’s offense may not rank particularly high in terms of DVOA, but this is a much stiffer test for the Seahawks defense than what the Oakland Raiders put on display the week before. If they get the win on the road and pull above .500, it’ll be an absolutely phenomenal way to end October and significantly improve their chances of making the playoffs.

Thanks for reading and go ‘Hawks!
