Oh yeah, Seahawks D looks as good as any in the league. Historically the most successful formula for a Super Bowl winning team has been an outstanding D and an outstanding O-line. Oh well, at least RW is fun to watch.

All the BS politics are turning me off the NFL! Today ALL the players stayed in the locker room for the NA! I give Jerry Jones a lot of credit and respect when he told his players that if they want to play for the Dallas Cowboys they will stand for the NA or they're gone! If you want to play politics do it on your own time! Im done with the NFL for this season. Go Huskies!

I completely agree Joe.

All the imagination in the world cannot change the reality of Seahawks salary cap decisions. |
Without the salary cap and revenue sharing wouldn't the NFL become like the MLB where the large metro area teams are dominant and teams from podunk cities like Seattle are basically farm teams for the big budget teams.

I read his comment as referring to salary cap *decisions* not the *amount* of their budget, since all teams have the same amount to spend.
It seemed that when the Hawks offense finally woke up, the defense was totally gassed from the heat and being on the field too long in this game as well as the previous two games.
Sherman's triple penalty play and the late, brutal hit on Mariota I believe was also a contributing factor in the loss in that it fired up the Titans, especially their offense. Sherman was out of control and that hit was totally out of line. I imagine he will or has received a substantial fine?
We could very well have a repeat of 2010 when a 7-9 record won the division....although I am thinking it will be the Rams this time at either 9-7 or 8-8. Sad.

I don`t think enough is being said about the 100 degree temp with humidity on the field. Both defenses were gassed in the 4th quarter. That said,the jury is still out for me on this team. Seems like a similar start to the last two years. Time will tell. However, Atlanta looks amazing; hard to imagine us beating them in the playoffs, especially if they get home field advantage...

That was the Seahawks the year they won the SB - many skill players were still on rookie contracts. The Seahawks are past that point now. Now you have to pay a premium for skilled veterans or basically start over. Is RW worth the big bucks? There are about 10 good starting QBs in the league, the rest are meh to blucko. Tough decision.

Seems the shortage of good O linemen is a league-wide problem. Watched a few minutes of MNF and saw the Cards right tackle get his lunch handed to him three straight plays - 3 and out. I've heard it said that the OL takes a couple years playing together to really gel. So I'm not expecting anything more from the 'Hawks than a repeat of last season, but hoping against the norm that the OL tightens up after playing together a few more games.

Me too. I'm hoping that they can tread water for the first half of the season - say win at home, lose on the road - but be serviceable by the second half to final third.

The reason why the M's suck has nothing to do with salary*.
*Or the fans, because they're the best. The culture here is great! What player wouldn't want to come here! Best best best!
