  1. Let’s be honest. The Seahawks played a home game where all the fans were there to support them on a Sunday night prime time game. On a 4 game win streak giving us some hope. And showed up with no sense of urgency or ❤️ and were not ready to beat the packers. It was a totally pathetic showing in front of the 12s!!! And after Geno got hurt on a no call. In comes our backup quarterback Sam Howell . He was absolutely terrible!!! You guys are professional athletes and get paid well. I expected so much more from our team. To a point to where I really thought we would win this game. Totally Disappointed!!! C’mon Hawks get it together. You’re so much better than this. Go Hawks!!!🤓

  2. Have faith 12s, the Packers are a way more solid team, and so is Minnesota, who knows, lady luck might flash her pennies on us this Sunday. Mike McDonald will get us a Superbowl for sure, I have more than enough faith on that, definitely not this year, but we have done better than I could've hoped

  3. Geno is my QB I will admit when Russ left I was prolly the biggest hater but hearing stories about this guy and hearing now that bro was up early in the gym back to work . Can’t question that guy ever again let’s go with the Fuckin NFC WEST BABY

  4. Geno fucking sucks so I wouldn't give a single shit if he was out the rest of the year. geno, grubb and this entire offense SUCKS!!!!

  5. MENTALITY AND EXECUTION ARE 2 TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS, YOU CAN HAVE THE MENTALITY, BUT IF YOU DONT EXECUTE, WONT MATTER..HOW IN THE HELL DID ALL OUR D LINEMEN GET TOTALLY OUTMUSCLED UP FRONT, WERE PACKERS GUYS JUST STRONGER🤔, HAWKS COULD NOT SHED ANY OF THEIR BLOCKS, THE O LINEMEN TREATED THEM LIKE CHILDREN, JUST PHYSICALLY STRONGER SO THEY COULDNT RELEASE OFF OF THEM AND STOP ANYONE, AND OFFENSE EVEN ABE LUCAS GOT EMBARRASED, LAUMEA AND CROSS TOO, TOSSED LIKE RAGDOLLS, WTF🤬

  6. Get your shit together mike. We need to win and not loae, If geno doesn't play well this game. Pack him up and get him outta here. And tell grubb to call the plays better. If geno can't cut it, Put howell in. Thanks Mac. #12ALLTHEWAY

  7. Here are all the reasons the Seahawks lost according to X:

    – Bad Uniforms

    – John Schneider

    – Packer Fans

    – Seahawks Season ticket holders

    – Geno Smith

    – Sam Howell

    – Ryan Grubb

    – Offensive line

    – Riq Woolen

  8. I don’t see us beating the Vikings, we may beat the bears just maybe knowing us we’ll find a way to lose or make it a close game (it shouldn’t be) and I don’t think we’ll beat the rams…

    Think we focus on next season, move ways from both Geno and Howell, draft a young buck, fix the o-line and get rid of riq woolen

  9. We need to draft the biggest meanest interior offensive linemen left right and a center 123 in this draft 😂 I was wondering how long it would take for geno to get rekt 😂 please let's get it right

  10. We need a quarterback, corner, LB, DE, OL. If we can get lucky and draft good in those we could be really good next year. And have the QB's compete for starting roles next year like when Wilson got pick in 2012

  11. Was extremely irritating to see us come out in this game in a pass heavy offense. After what charb did last week we shoulda had no reason give him the rock back to back in those first 2 plays then make a pass okay after that. We keep shooting ourselves in the foot with these Ls but I still believe in this squad so let’s make a run for it! Go hawks!

  12. No excuse for DK to be used the way he is. Every top receiver faces the same coverages. They are schemed open. They are wasting his prime. He should never have only 3 targets.

  13. They didn’t act like they were excited to play. They played flat. They can do better in front of the 12’s and a national tv audience! The action green uniforms can be permanently put away! Don’t want to be reminded of this game ever.
