We also had a lot 3rd and short non-conversions that killed us. I think that opening drive in the second half ended in a FG because of a missed 3rd and short.

Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Hold on to that feelin'

My only contribution... good night folks.

Instead they went three out and had to punt the ball. They get the ball in the second half, and they only muster a FG.

You can't beat good teams by giving up these opportunities. We're bad and have issues/injuries on both side of the ball.

ISSUES .. keyword. The team franchise, offense, defense has serious issues.

Yeah, I'm venting. Sorry .. its just the first week of October, and knowing that we have a less than 1% chance of going to the playoffs, it would be nice at least entering December thinking we have a chance...

Perry Riley, c'mon man. You can't let some no name back up TE beat you like a damn drum. That was a great play by Wilson, rolling left and making a really nice throw. But Riley simply has to make that play. They need to start taking him off the field in passing situations. Every team is picking on him.

He shouldn't have been playing later on after he got injured. He was hobbling to Lynch during that late TD.

We also desperately need a good blocking TE. Niles Paul was horrible at blocking.

Stats held up true on west coast teams struggling when they come to the east coast. We were just not good enough to capitalize on their mistakes.

There is a reason they had to hire a brand new coach. This team is a project. To get to the point where Seattle is now it took Carroll and company 3 or 4 years to completely rebuild that roster.

This team is not close to where it needs to be to compete. I'm not sure what you guys were expecting this year. If 3-4 years from now they are getting the same result... then there is a problem.

it's ridiculous that we do not have a kickoff man. we NEED touchbacks on kickoffs, it's worth a roster spot if forbath or way can't do it.

Good point. I agree that it is worth a roster spot if Way can't do the job. Forbath has proven that he can't do it, although he is a good FG kicker. We have players who can't get off the bench, so cut one of them to add a KO specialist.

Now, we're even pooching KO's out of fear of a big return which, of course, sets up the opponents at the 40 yard-line anyway.

Poor field position is absolutely killing us game after game. Something must be done about it.

Wilson is great, but I wonder how efficient Kirk or RG3 would be with an average starting field position of the 40 yard line against a below average defense. Seattle's gunner on punts is amazing. If Roberts didn't call fair catch every time, that heat seeking missile would have taken his head off.
