Chiefs run wild on Seahawks
What is going on over there at Seahawks headquarters that the Kansas City Chiefs and their power running game can come into Qwest Field and stomp them out. This game was a big let down for the team and fans. I was expecting a good game and a good out come but I end up getting a ugly result on both sides of the ball. Yes Mike Williams was out with a foot sprain but that doesn't mean the passing game should be off. Yes Matt had another decent game with 250 plus yards and 2 touchdowns and 2 picks but gosh dang it he is doing what he can with who is out there. Once again Pete decides to piss away 3 points on the first possession at the goal line with a 4th down pass in the end zone, agressive move yes maybe too agressive. This team at one point in the season looked ready to take the lead in the division but now it has looked like they have taken a few steps back to regroup and gain some new confidence. Everything starts with coaching and maybe Pete needs to look at the game tapes and figure out what he is doing wrong. The defense was getting pummeled in every direction on the field weather it be the passing or running game. At one point of the season the defense was the strength of the team, now it is one of the weakness that needs to fixed and once again it starts with coaching either its Pete or Gus Bradley needs to take control and fix this problem. The Seahawks running game was by far the biggest disappoint other than the defense. What are the Hawks doing with this running game. How do they only manage 20 yards on 12 attemps? This kind of running numbers worries me about this team. I have no clue on how to get a quick fix for the running game but as of right now the Hawks will not have a running game for the rest of the season as I see it. They have moved away from running and have gone to a all out passing game. The defense that was play yesterday was horrordous and embrassing. Jamaal Charles ran over, around and through all the Hawks defense for 173 yards on 22 attemps. Matt Cassel 22-32 for 233 yards and 4 touchdowns. Dwayne Bowe 13 catches for 170 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Chiefs are a good team and they came in ready to put a beat down on the Hawks and that is excatly what they did at Qwest. The Hawks have 3 of the next 5 at home there are some games that needs to be won at home or they can forget about making it to the playoffs. As of right now St. Louis has grab the lead for the NFC West. The Carolina Panthers come in on Sunday with a 1-10 and 0-5 on the road, this should be a winnable game. If they think this is a easy game the Hawks mind as well pack up and go on vacation and refund their fans their money. I still believe we can make the playoffs but this is the last straw that will break the camels back if they lose to the Panthers. The numbers don't lie Pete, Jeremy Bates and Gus Bradley get this team on the right track before you start losing the support of the fans.

Agree on firing Bates but not Russell Okung. Bates has no clue on what to call on first ot fourth down plays. I say give Okung time to develop in the offense, this is his first year in the league. Hawks have to do something about the running game or Matt is going to get killed back there again. The NFC West is the WEAKEST division in NFL and the teams in it will get killed almost everytime the play some other team outside the division. The WHOLE division sucks balls and will continue to suck until there is a team that can get 10 plus wins every year to get the division some respect but until then the NFC West is the laughing stock of the league.
ReplyDeleteThe problem I have with Okung is that he is consistantly hurt. He's not much help while sitting on the sideline. He COULD be great, but those ankle issues are worrisom to me. Not sure why this division sucks so bad either. Why is it? What does this division do or doesn't do that makes it so weak against the other divisions? I mean, everyone pulls players from the same pool. The coaches all come from the same pool. There is tons of film on every team, every play, and every player out there. So what is it that makes this division such a laughing stock? On a blog I read yesterday, some fan responded to the whine that our division sucks. He mentioned that AZ won a superbowl, Seattle went to one, and there is always a team from the west going into if not deep into the playoffs every year. On that same blog, I also agree that maybe the idea of winning a division, should not necessarily mean a playoff berth. Maybe it should be a combination of divisional wins AND comparitive NFL records. Hell for that matter, with an 18 game season, let's drop the division and just go with the league. Never play a team twice in a season and always mix equal road miles per team. Are these the answers, who knows. But there needs to be some parity applied to the NFL to prevent a losing team from entering the playoffs. Sucks for us, but maybe it will bear fruit and make for a better league overall.
