  2. The team needs to work harder on the Blocking, Tight Tackling and have the backers cover the gap to stop the runs!! If we continue to play like jobbers for the rest of the season, I'd suggest give them Junction Boys workouts during offseason, Then draft a quarterback either from Oregon or Colorado, and a Defensive End, like the one from BYU.

  6. I don’t even care what happens to finish the season the packers showed we’re not who we thought we were and we need to start looking for a new QB Geno sits in that pocket and just takes sacks to avoid a turnover and then still throws a interception in the in zone smh it’s tough man we’re always missing something when we’re still so talented

  10. Offensive line can not pass protect, running backs under sized, holding penalties, defensive backs can not cover an all star team from the local cemetery. Team came out flat and a home game was not a home game.

  11. I still believe in Mike, but Grubb probably should be gone in favor of a shanahan like run first OC. And JS should focus on o line this offseason at all costs

  13. Geno is not a popular QB in Seattle. We'll most likely end up with another 9-8 season where we barely won most of the games we did win. With the Oline being trash and the quarterback being unpopular, it's no surprise that the games are boring and the tickets aren't selling to Seattle fans. The games aren't fun to watch. We need a new QB, someone other than JS picking the Oline, and for the fans to have fun again. Watching as a faithful fan as your team barely wins a game is fun once in a while. But when it's every game, it's just stressful. That's why the Bills and Packers fans can fill the stadium.

  19. No QB is going to be successful without a run game. Seahawks need to force other teams to not stay in nickel. Defenses are stopping our run with a nickel defense. We have to force them to use 3 linebackers

  35. It’s year One of a new coaching staff… all I want this season is progress in the right direction. Green Bay is a reflection where we should be if we didn’t change HCs

  36. Quit pretending Geno is not a problem. His interceptions and decision making have lost some key games. The backup QB was like in a state of shock when called upon. And the secondary getting beat and giving up pass interference is an issue too.

  37. Woolen needs to play better. Genos mentality as a back up kinda guy makes him always want to make a play to prove himself. You watch Stafford go 0-10 to start games and still end with 250 and 2 tds. The o line stinks, but we’re at week 16, you know the pace you need to have when that ball snaps. You can’t be taking these dumb shots every game. Gotta be better on offense. John needs to take steps to making this offense work. Starts with the o line. Go Hawks. Finish as strong as you can.

  41. We are only good to beat the crappy team on our schedule, thats the facts. We need to watch the film from our losses this year, Because we lost to A LOT OF GREAT FOOTBALL TEAMS and we need to study them and their habits and mesh them into our own locker room culture and even create our own style. We can do it. We can become that scary good football team that NO other team in the league looks forward to playing, on a week to week basis. We can have our 10-12 win plus seasons and win this division, we just have to stay focused and keep putting it all together. This roster has plenty of great players, I just think its our first year and we are getting to see whats what. Who meshes well with who, how we wanna do things. We can beat other teams. Anything can happen when its SEATTLE SEAHAWK FOOTBALL. Just got to be better. Stop with the flags, and stop our players from going rogue during games, and to always remember your team will have your back, so dont overthink what you need to focus on and do. Hawks will be contenders very soon if we can make the right moves at QB, keep building this OL, keep improving our offensive playcalling. We need another safety badly, one that can cover in MAN or ZONE. No more one dimensional players, we need young elite versatile athletes to run this offense and defense.

    How can you say that GB is an average team? There are only 5 teams in the entire NFL (32 teams) with a better W-L record than GB. If GB is just average, how do you rate the Hawks because that average GB team came into your house and dominated the Hawks. By the end of the 1st quarter Seattle was out of the game and never challenged. Now is GB 17 points better than the Hawks? Probably not. If GB and Seattle play each other in the playoffs which could very well happen, it will be a close hard fought battle. But being objective right now as to how good GB and Seattle are, one would have to say both teams are good in the top 1/3 of the entire league.

  44. Love my Seahawks all the way back to Mike Curtis and Bill Munson….in all those years I've never felt like I do watching Seahawks football in 2024. Awful Seattle hasn't been able to defend their home field. That's just terrible. So often it seems like we are playing with ten guys against 11. Both sides of the ball. Other GM's around the NFL are making John Schnieder look like he's lost a step; Clearly Schnieder isn't hungry.

  48. I'm starting to believe this is totally scripted. And geno could have still finished the game and didn't want to look bad infront of the 12s. Mark my word if I'm right. That we will have a good game next week. And they will build our last game up for who makes it into the playoffs. And we will have a last game battle to make it into the playoffs with the rams. And we will probably have to play the packers again in the playoffs to have a stronger battle when it all comes down to the betting that will be on 1 of the 2 games. To make the playoffs, or if we make the playoffs and go against the greenbay packers. As I write this message I just seen a shooting star. 🌟
