Gameday Thread - Seahawks vs Steelers 9.18.11

Well, to try & stay on the positive side (which is difficult) there are some encouraging signs....the pass protection that the o-line is giving is respectable (run blocking is something else). Now if our receivers could just get some separation & our QB could make a freaking decision. Unless T-Jack picks up his play, the chants for Charlie next week are going to be deafening.

^this. I'm not sure if Whitehurst can just come in and make the offense that much better. Do we trade accuracy for mobility? They both have crazy arms and some kind of pocket presence. We need a run game, I forgot about the Saints playoff run in the preseason. They should use Portis in the wildcat, or something. They need to do something.

Have I said lately how much I love Earl Thomas?

and Kam Chancellor?

WTF...is up with Browner? He seems lost out there and seemed so last week too. Not to just target him alone on or D but damn dude get it together

But he's over 6 foot and that's what makes corners good. Certainly better than Jennings, Wilson and Babs right? Right?

We all picked a hell of a day to quit anything body numbing and mind altering

whut

And with the first pick of the 2012 NFL draft the Seattle Seahawks pick, Andrew Luck, QB from Stanford

or Matt Barkley. I wonder if Team Earn Everything was targeting Locker?

What an shitty way to end what was a great birthday weekend. I had (chose) to sit in a damn room full of shithead Steeler fans (as the only Seahawk fan), and not only endure their infantile shit talk all game long, but also the fact that our fucking team couldn't even muster up a field goal in 60 minutes of football (and I use the term lightly). We are pathetic, I mean, I guess the Holmgren years kinda made us all forget to a degree how far from a good team we really are, but these past few years have relly drilled that point home again and again, ugh.

belated happy birthday. our bar is a Steeler bar, i watched the super bowl there by myself so i know what you're talking about.

Well it was an ugly game to say the least. I didn't think they'd win so I'm just glad they only gave up 24. Good news is that the offensive play calling was good and TJ did pretty well considering the circumstance.

I disagree with you 100000000000000%

The playcalling was HORRIFIC & Tjack couldnt beat my local High School football team.

I think this pretty much sums up the effort of our team ... on offense anyway ...

The sad numbers: 2-for-12 on 3rd downs. 164 total yards and only 47 yards rushing. You're right Sal this doesn't translate to good offensive play calling and how well TJ did ... TJ said it himself ... Jackson said after the game "We couldn't get a rhythm we couldn't put two third-down conversions back to back. That's all about rhythm."

[Major Seahawk]

They were in so many 3rd & longs that it made it nearly impossible to convert on them. That's not all on TJ. They'd run it on 1st down, get nothing or lose a yard. 2nd down they'd try to get something, and end up getting TJ sacked. 3rd & forevers are extremely difficult to convert against the Steeler D. The fact that TJ completed 70% of his passes and had no turnovers is amazing. Not absolving him of any responsibility but its silly to think that if TJ wasn't the QB they'd be some stellar offense. Receivers aren't getting any separation down field, they are constantly blanketed. O line can't give TJ any time in the pocket so that he has time to got through his reads and throw any kind of pass except for quick short ones or dump offs. And the fact that the running game poses no threat what so ever doesn't help either.
