Seahawks 24 Skins 14 post game thread

So what draft pick are we giving up to the Rams? 21st

[MTK]

This just in, RG3 has a sneaky ego. In a good way though like most star athletes do.

I mean this is a guy that wears Superman socks. Just saying.

We have nowhere to go but up.

Im not sustaining it. It is sustaining me. Lol.
Agreed about the future. Little ounce of me who is worried about the totallity if Griffs injury. The hate will go away for good and it will turn to complete optimism of the immediate future once i know Griff will be 100 percent for camp.

We are just upset that we lost a game that we should've won. Did Griffin even complete a pass in the second half?

We were still up by 1 with 8 minutes in the game even though we didn't move the ball for 2.5 quarters. Their D wasn't anything special it was just that our QB was completely inaccurate.

Bad decision to allow Griffin to stay in. Anyways, we move on thinking about shoulda, coulda, woulda's.

This
To call for Shanahans firing at this point is stupid
But,and it's a big But,that was one if the worst coaching descisions ever made to leave RG in there
It was painfully obvious to casual football watchers he shoukdnt be in there
I believe if Cousins started 2nd half we win this game

But if Joe Webb was our backup. KC -1 has come up huge very recently in these situations. I felt so great about the KC pick until tonite. Now its tough to understand why we didnt have a fighters chance with 8 mins left up by one?

Let me make sure I'm understanding this... You're blaming Cousins for not being able to pick up where RG3 left off?

The Ravens situation was different. We had momentum, we were driving, were deep in Ravens territory and I think Cousins expected to get put in after RG3 was injured the first time.

This time, we had zero momentum, hadn't sustained a decent drive since the first quarter and although up by 1, the offensive line started breaking down and the defense had been getting worked up and down the field since the 3rd quarter.

But somehow Cousins deserves some blame? :confused:

Okay. You just worded that kinda weird. That's why I was asking.

I see what you could have thought. No not in any sense of the word am i blaming KC. Talk about an impossible spot. He was like a relief pitcher coming in with the bases loaded and no outs while losing 3-0 He had no chance at that point. Be should have come in at the half.

I'm looking at this with the cup half full, not half empty. Only way we were going to win was with a healthy Robert at 100%.

I think the doctors greened him and said he was good, and they were trying to give Robert the opportunity to try and pull it out.

But he was shook. The pain and instability took him off his game.

Robert didn't want to leave, Shanny didn't want to bench him, the line started allowing pressure which only compounded problems with his mobility, the D started faltering on crucial downs. Robert getting messed up and the cheap shots at such a disciplined team took the wind out of their sails.

It's okay. Really, it is.

Robert will heal up, we'll get some more pieces, get back at it next year. He's a rookie QB who inspired and lead the team to the vaunted NFCE championship title. We swept Dallas, swept Philly, and if not for a fumble by Moss we sweep the G-Men. If he was healthy, I believe we would have run the table all the way through the playoffs.

Look to next year.

was a great season but I'm drained LOL.

Look what happened Pigskins, you get engaged and we lost... RUN NOW! lol JK

Glad the Rams only got the 22nd pick for the trade. Now for the 32nd next year.
