Lambs got over the Seahawks…I know the feeling as a Niners fan.😮
The Rams sucked today. They are giggling right now how they lucky they were. Cards will do nothing in other divisions. Niners are down. Welcome to the NFC Worst.
And we are the hot garbage of them all. There should be a significant change in two weeks. That is announcing Sam Howell as a new starting quarterback.
We need to move on from Geno.
Ok geno sucks the offense line has a hard time with everything. Need help. Tired of this team bullshit
We need to be real as Seahawks fans, rebuild, Geno is a career backup, build through the draft, new era
Conor Williams has struggled throughout the year having accurate snaps to Geno. It is a major problem.
Why was Christian Haynes a healthy scratch?
The missed extra point would have made the rams have had to go for 2 after that pick six because it would have been a 6 point game instead of 5 the 12 penalties for 95 yards were a huge reason they lost such a excruciating loss they needed this game heading into the bye especially with the 49ers in 2 weeks
Grubb and Huff need to go
Dear Geno, we're writing to tell you you're not the QB you think you are. Please do not write back. Go Hawks!
Geno is not him. He is mediocre and maybe get us to playoffs but we can not win a SB with him, especially if he wants to get paid.
Macdonald is a coordinator not a head coach. Macdonald made a terrible decision hiring an inexperienced staff to complement his inexperience.
JS made these decisions. JS was protected by PC and now that PC is gone, JS is the one most responsible for this (just as PC told JS)
I feel bad for Gino
I think it’s the Geno Smith 3 interceptions, 2 in the red zone, more than the Stafford curse! Defense looked great, esp the run stop!
In my opinion, Ryan Grubbs offense is not for Geno. Ryan Grubbs offense is built around a mobile QB, not a pocket QB. We all know the O-line sucks and to counter act that you need a mobile QB. Geno is a pocket passer and I think if we lose two more, then it will be time to put Sam Howell, just to see if he will be our future if not draft or pick another veteran QB such as Carson Wentz or Sam Darnold.
Geno's 3 ints 1) Bounced out of JSN and straight to a defender 2) HAd his arm hit as he threw (Was throwing it out of bounds) 3) Had his receiver held. These were ints but not thrown poorly considering the reason behind each. None were forced into double coverage for example.
Sam may need an opportunity.
Tomlinson is pure garbage and he's one of the supposed leaders
Get the fuk outta here with that shit mike if your leaders are losers the your team will lose and continue to lose
The defence was terrific, best they've played this season. Geno was not good, he's in the pocket most of the time and usually accurate but not in the last few games. Too many turnovers. Maybe it's time to give Sam Howell a chance to do the job. I also question Ryan Grubbs work so far. We've got 2 very good running backs and can't seem to use them properly. This falls on Ryan Grubb's shoulders and ultimately John Schneider. Schneider has not focused on building the offensive line we've needed, maybe it's time to move on from him too.
O line is trash joe Montana would look mediocre behind them too many flags
Of course it should be a rebuild but the seahawks think they have a playoff team that is delusional with that offensive line . Also Geno has tunnel vision he refuse to look for secondary receiver he locks on and hold the ball until he sacked or he will throw it anyway thus the interception that why Genos need to play behind a good offensive line because Geno has to hold the ball he can't throw to a spot or throw a reciever open
Don't forget conner Williams are you kidding me a center causing the team to lose
Anyone who thinks this team is going to the playoff isn't thinking clearly this offensive line is so bad they look like someone them have never played organized football before and what about Whoolen on the touch down he wasn't even ready or in position to defend a reciever what was he doing milling around the line of scrimmage just amazing he doesn't try to make plays he should be replaced put Witherspoon at corner
Cracks me up that folks think Geno is the problem. Our O-line is trash. Complete trash. Snaps, pressures, sacks, run blocking…it all is awful. We couldn't even get 1 yard in 2 tries with K9….are you kidding? Pass blocking they look like they're on ice skates, they can't even slow rushers down. Running plays they're heading backward…..we'll never compete with good teams with that line.
Geno is a LIABILITY!
Anyone saying Geno is a career back up is nonsensical. He's not Top 10 but he definitely is not bottom 10. The problem is that Geno will get this team to 7-8 wins and that will not put you in a position to draft an elite QB. If we need to tank, we need to put in Sam Howell, who led the League in INT's to ensure a 4-5 win season.
Defense looked much improved. Slightly better QB play would have won the game.
Schneider should get one more offseason to fix the O line. If he can’t, he should be replaced.
Geno so done . I’m so happy he won’t be back next year. Maybe we can get fields or Wilson
The interior O-line, and especially Anthony Bradford has to go!
Geno smith sucks!
The seasons over!
Put the band back together fire mcdonald and hire deboer
If we don't rebuild this o line on the off season we are going to see the same results. I think in doing so this will be a much better team all around. Even the defense will be better as they will be on the field for less time.
Play: Olu, play C Haynes, get Lucas back, play Cody over Shenault, and get 25 more involved on offense! Short leash on Geno! Warm up 6!
You can’t do much worse than 3 picks but I say keep Geno in until he loses the room.
Hello Sammy!!
They have no COHESION. And sorry Mike should sit Geno for a game or until he stops throwing balls to the other team
And yes the OLINE HAS NO COHESION EITHER
Geno had 1 bad throw and 1 bad pick. Another was a dropped first down catch that was on the money to JSN. Another was a backup TE screen in the red zone on 3rd down where Barner didn’t even put his hands up….. all we need is 3s… and our play calling is forcing us to find a way to mess it up and consistently leave us without points. So bad.
Geno wants 4 more years that mean they won't draft a qb if they due he won't play coach thinks geno the answer that thinking will get him fired
So Geno…. Until this OL get to a least a passable level this won’t change.. It just won’t . Geno is running for his life 80% of the time, literally can’t get to his 2nd read and every NFL defense knows it.. We have NO idea how good Geno can be.. JS HAS to rethink his approach to paying OL.. The Lions 3 years ago looked just like the Hawks now.. BUT they committed to building their OL.. Everything started to change for them after that.. What are you going to do JS?
