Gameday Thread - Seahawks vs Lions 11.8.09

[SeattleTsunami]

There's the Lions we know! Nice pick by Grant.

[SeattleTsunami]

You have one minute to go 90 yards and you dump off to Carlson? Why? Let's get going!

[SeattleTsunami]

I love the heart of Matt. How about we make him a player-coach and fire Mora. haha

[SeahawkSal]

Why not take the shot here? WTF is Hass pleading to Mora....thats scary. Why kick the FG...we're at home against the LIONS????????

I am officially a Mora-HATER

I became a Mora Hater last week. Welcome to the club. They truly need to fire his ass.

[MOSES]

Form what I have heard, you need about 7 seconds a play. I totally agree with Mora on this one. I think Matt does, too. He is just a competitor, and he wants to get the TD. I am sure the discussion LOOKED heated, but really wasn't between them.

Just not enough time. Matt starts running around, and we run out of time.

Besides, we get the ball att he start of the third. Matt will get his shot at a TD throw.

[SeahawkSal]

From an X's and O's standpoint I agree Moses....but from the perspective where our team stands right now it was worth going for it.

The Team is out of the playoffs.
We're home.
We need a spark.
We're playing one of the worst teams in football.
Matt & the offense was hot on that streak.
Its been a LONG time since something good happened for this team.

If we're getting the ball after the half, and we still have another time-out...and your pro bowl QB is pleading his case (he may have seen something the defense was giving him) I think you have to go for it. If not only for motivational purposes.

Mora's a moron. Welcome to 1992 all over again.

[MOSES]

At the start of today we were 2 games out with nine to play. I disagree we were out of the playoffs.

We also got a spark. 3 points capping of a 13-0 run, and we get the ball at the start of the second half.

If the play starts, and Matt thinks he can make aplay, and starts scrambling, the FG is out of the window.

I disagree, but it's all good. I am also willing to give Mora more than 7 games before I start begging for him to be fired. But again, it's all good.

[Hawk-n-Roll]

Came out flat again.

[SeattleTsunami]

We really needed that stop.

I know your the President of the Positivity Posse...but lets be real and call a spade a spade. Do you honestly think this is a playoff team? Statistics are fine, but that's only because we play in a paper machete division.

Fans need to face the facts that we're just not a very good football team. It is what it is. 2005 was a long time ago.

Our O Coordinator had his playcalling duties taken away from him in Oakland.....bro...OAKLAND!! The University of Florida could beat Oakland. Mora stands on the sidelines spewing promise after promise with that Dead Air Stare*...give me a break.

Its time to blow this team up and start from scratch. We're HOME against the LIONS....holy shit...just read what I just said. Win or lose...this team has a lot of problems.

[SeattleTsunami]

Nice run after the catch by JJ. I don't know how the Lion defender got him, but you can really feel the momentum change. I knew the real Lions would show up. It was only a matter of time.

[Hawk-n-Roll]

Not even close to a playoff team. Average at best.

[SeahawkSal]

Our Red zone offense is very disappointing. Whats up with all the fg's?

And why does Knapp run an offense that doesn't throw a pass over 5 yards? FB & RB screens...that's all I see.

Frustrating.

[Hawk-n-Roll]

Is Matt even able to throw the ball further than 15 yards??

[SeahawkSal]

Just to add to my previous post...I realize the O-line play a big part in that. Our running game has sucked all year (Knapp's specialty) but they never seem to take any shots at all.

Whether we are a playoff team or not was not what you said. You said 'we are out of the playoffs.' That is not true the way I see it, until we are mathematically out of it.

Blowing a staff up every seven games will get us NOWHERE.

Do we have problems? You bet. But I want to see this staff at least get SOME rope to hang themselves.

[Hawk-n-Roll]

I would give this staff this year and next to prove what they bring to the table with the proper players to fit their system.

[SeahawkSal]

This staff is here because their Ruskell chronies. You know that's the truth.

Hand-selecting his coach before the current one retired put us behind the 8 ball in regards to installing a coaching staff with some actual skill.

[Hawk-n-Roll]

Should have had the regular offense out for 2.

[SeahawkSal]

Gotta love Hawthorne!!! Love the guy.

[Jimbo]

I've been a fan for many, many years. I may not have until this year and next for them to prove something. Another decade of incompetence is not something I can endure.

Mora coached our secondary and turned it into the second worst in the league last year. And he gets promoted to Head Coach???

Lets not even start with Knapp...he's a JOKE of a coach.

This staff sucks. Firing them right now will of course do nothing....but the quality of coaches available next year should help Paul Allen make the right decision...Fire everbody...Including Ruskell.

I feel ya. I told my wife when they were down 17, i didn't want to re-new directtv next year. They are definitely a team you love to hate.
