Can The Seahawks Repeat?

[LA RAM FAN]

It will take a lot of research to arrive at an informed guess but as the NFL sits right now I see no reason why not...especially if the AFC team is as weak physically as Denver.

Arizona seems to keep coming up with hard nosed defenses.

SF has a lot of motivation but can't seem to do better than split with the Hawks in the reg season.

The Carroll formula has developed into a "cult" mindset that only appears to be gathering steam.

If Seattle drafted no players this year and just paid those that need to get paid the team would still be better in 2014 than last season. The only game the whole team played even close to their potential was last weekend. And almost to a man the players believe that there is room to improve individually. That is a scary thought for the rest of the NFL.

Damn straight they'll repeat.you look at their schedule they have and i think they had a more difficult schedule to play LAST year then they do this year. like you said,considering how weak the AFC is and the niners still havent figured out how to win at seattle yet and the fact that the last couple times they lost to the niners at the stick they only did so by less than a field goal.also they lost a couple of key starters this year so that will really hurt them.

where the only key starter the hawks lost was Golden tate.The hawks kicking game wont be as strong but they still got most their players intact and while Wilsons favorite target tate will be gone,their offense will still be dangerous being able to still line up harvin,kearse,baldwin and their other receiver they lost for half the season last year.

Having him and Harvin together in the backfiled at the same time and if they can both stay healthy for at least most the season? its going to lights out for the other teams especially since wilson is only going to be even better this year than last.

while the cards can cause the Hawks problems,Im glad you didnt fall for the line of B.S that sports announcers have been spreading around the league that the LAMBS will be a team to be reconckoned with in the NFC as well.they cant be serious? Fisher has become senile hiring brian shittenhiemer as the offensive coordinater for them.he got booed out of new york for being so conservative on offense and has never done anything impressive his whole career yet that idiot hired him? that why they let him go at tennesse cause he got senile and stupid in his old age. and Bradford is hardly a dangerous quarterback,i cant believe they brought him back.

they remind me of the former LA RAIDERS.When the Broncos were an excellent team and had elway and were in the playoffs every year,whenever they played the raiders who were a lousy team all those years,they always struggled to beat them even if it was at home.same with the Lambs,against the rest of the league,they play bad against but whenever they face the seahawks,they raise the play of the game and always play well against them.they dont play like the Lambs like they do the rest the season.they seem to have their number and always make it difficule for the seahawks to beat them when they face each other somehow. you got to be able to play well against other teams as well though to be consaidered a team on the rise though. last time i checked,the LAMBS dont fit that bill.

Actually IMHO the loss of Red Bryant was as big an impact to Seattle in regards to Santa Clara.

Like the Hawks the 9ers are throwing the fewest times compared to the rest of the NFC. The run is what gets er done with both of those squads.

The big question in the NFC West for me is if Gore can produce yards this late in his career. Santa Clara would have lost against the hawks in SF if Gore hadn't got lucky in his 54 yard run. He had been thoroughly contained up until that end of the game scamper. THAT wont happen again this season. A couple of our defenders were just out of position and took bad angles which is highly out of character for our defense.

Also the conservative approach Carroll uses offensively will take a back seat as Percy Harvin starts and plays in every game this season. Now that it is clear HOW to use him to keep the other team off balance ..there is no reason to get him hurt. Just put him in enough to blast for 50-100 yards or so on half a dozen plays just like in the SB. The rest of the time use him as a decoy with little to no hard contact.

Tate only left because he knows the ring is the thing in getting attention or in other words a big fat contract in free agency from another team.

Tate wanted to work on building his stats which Seattle wasn't going to do for him. If any receiver was going to get more touches this season it is going to be Percy Harvin.

Contrary to some ex player TV comentators our receivers are definitely NOT pedestrian.

Wilson puts the all exactly where he should and our receivers drop the ball less than any team I can think of. We just don't run that dink and dunk pass game that is famous with the West Coast offense.

I don't think Tate will make it through this season un injured in Detroit. HOW a reciever is used is important no matter how good he is.

Denver is a prime example of taking arguably the best stable of receivers and a great defense beating the crap out of them and making them useless as they all start hearing footsteps.

Yes Seattle stands a BETTER chance this season for a number of reasons. Every great receiver they face will be thinking how Seattle smacked Denvers receivers around in the Super Bowl and cracked dudes ribs and shit.

true,didnt think about that. yeah it looks lke Tate now that he has the ring, was just interested in a fat contract. another reason tate probably wont last the entire season out there is look who his quaterback is.Stafford.Stafford will throw so innacurately at the worst times making tate jump up and open himself up to being vulnerable to take hits he is not used to taking. and yeah your right,Harvin wont have to do much for the team.Just being a threat in the backfield will cause defenses nightmares.

can you imiagine the nightmares others defenses will have not only having to worry about a scrambling quarterback who can throw it deep down the field accurately having to try and contain him when he gets out of the pocket who will be able to read defenses even better this year than last year,bit on top of all that,they will at the same time,have to deal with trying to contain kearse,baldwin,harvin AND rice all at the same time?

defensive coordinaters are going to be pulling the hair out of thei heads in frustration and anger and when its a pasing situation,the beast is another weapen they cant account for that if worse comes to worse,wilson can just dump it off to him when they think they have everybody covered. they go into the playoffs and have all those horses healthy at the same time together,forget it,its game over.

wison will have just too many weapons at his diposal and again,he will be playing even better this year than last which is really scary for the rest of league. the only real concern we have is they wont have as much depth on the defense as they did last year with the defection of Bryant and a couple of others on D.that was a major factor why their defense played so well last year was the depth they had able to keep fresh bodies in there all the time so thats the only one concern they'll have.

and yeah,Gore isnt getting any younger so it will be interesting to see how his body will hold up this year.the fact that they play each other towards the end of the season when he has had all the wear and tear on him and it will be TWICE in three weeks,thats not going to help the situation either.He is going to wondering why the schedule makers were so cruel to him this year especially after he has to face them the second time after taking a beating from theHawks D just two weeks previouslyr

btw,speaking of the niners,whatever happend to manningham do you know? he was on their roster at the beginning of the year but i remember in the mondy night game against them this past year michales saying that he wasnt availlable for the game along with crabtree because of injurys sustained.was it a season ending one cause we never heard anything about him again after that?

Mario Manningham signed with the NY Giants.

I agree about anticipation regarding Wilson.

He has shown so much growth and depth of ability in just two years. It is astonishing how good he has been leading up to this stage of his career. The funny thing is that Wilson has just quietly stated his goals which seemed rediculous on the surface yet produced the crazy good results he said he would. Ya... EVERY new young QB strives for greatness and states that the sky is the limit. He is the only one in the last several years that has backed up his talk. Wilson is the only one besides two others in NFL history to bring home a championship in his second year.

It will be interesting to see how Wilson's "preparation" will work for him in year three as he knows more thoroughly what to look for as he studies the videos on other teams defenses AND his own players tendencies as well as his own game history. It will be of interest to see how Carroll and the offensive coaches use Wilson and the passing game as it has been shown that Russell is capable of doing more than has been asked of him in the last two years.

Mario Manningham signed with the NY Giants.

went back to his roots the Giants huh? wow did not know that.Guess the niners thought he was too expensive to keep.major mistake.the guy only made an amazaing catch for the Giants at a critical point in the game helping them beat the pats in their last superbowl with them.With Him gone,makes the Hawks defense jobs easier.

Dont know who the other second year player is in history who in his second year won a superbowl for his team but yeah,Wilson is this generations Tom Brady.There are those rare players out there who make all the players around them better players than what they really are.Montana and Elway were a couple of them.

It was like dejuvu all over again when the wilson got drafted.dejevu as in the conversation that Brady had with Kraft of the patriots telling him when he drafted him,going into his office and saying to him-Mr kraft I just want to thank you for having faith in me and drafting me.I guarantee you it was the smartest decision you will ever make and you wont regret it. Guess what? as you know,wilson said the same thing to Paul allen.

wilson just like Brady,is one of those rare unique players where everybody around him feeds off him and gets them to excel turning average players into good players and good players into great players.

He is another one of those rare gems you come across once in a great blue moon.and carrol was a genius to see those qualities in wilson and wanted him so much that he consulted his friend Bud Grant asking him if a qb UNDER 6 FOOT like wilson could succeed in the NFL since Tarkenton was the same height as well and Grant told him if he is a special kind of person like tarkenton was,he could and Carrol was able to spot that in wilson and see what a special player he was and thankfully was able to get him when he did.

I know this one friend of mine here in kc who is a chiefs fan and he always knew wilson would succeed in the NFL.He told me when he was watching the draft that day and they came to thei third round and wilson was still available he was saying-take him,take him.so when they passed up on him in the third round for someone else,you can just imaigine how pissed he was?

 

[LA RAM FAN]

Wilson got very fortunate to be put in the position he was to succeed in the fact he has an excellent coach in carrol to work with which has a lot to do with his growth as a quarterback.A lot of factors come in to play on a quarterback who was great in college succeeding in the NFL.If he winds up with a lousy coach and lousy offensive coordinater,he is not going to go far at all.

Take Steve young and vinnie testerverde for example.young in the beginning looked like he was never going to make it in the NFL because he was playing for alousy organization and a lousy coach for the tampa bay buccannners.same with testeverde.young later hooked up with Bill Walsh of the 49ers and transformed into a hall of famer.

Testeverde wasnt as fortunate,he spent most of his career with the Bucs underlousy coachs and was a bust.He turned out to be a late bloomer and finally materialzedinto the quarterback everyone thought he would be when he joined the ny jets and mentored under bill parcells who i would say is right up there with vince lombardi as the greatest coach ever.Had he not been fortuante enough to hook up with parcells,he never would have salvaged his career at the end and would have gone down as huge bust. Brady had a lousy overrated coach to work with in belecheat but he was able to suceed though because he had a good offensive coordianter as a tutor and learned from drew bledsoe as well so that compensated for all that.

Thats why bradford will never materialize into anything as long as Fisher is the coach for the lambs because he is senile and stupid the fact that he hired mr conservative brian shittenhimer as his offensive coordinater.bradford has NOBODY good he can learn from so it looks like he will bomb in the NFL. had he been fortunate enough to have been drafted by the seahawks and have carrol for his head coach,he would be putting up impressive statisitics by now.

 

[Montrovant]

Stevie Johnson is an upgrade over Mario Manningham.

I liked Manningham as a Giant, but he never panned out on the Niners. Too many injuries for the price of keeping him.

The Niners also have Brandon Lloyd back on the team, who has been a better receiver than Manningham. The Niners certainly have a much better group of receivers than they did last year, barring injuries.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

with Brandon Lloyd back for them,I defenetely see another NFC championship game showdown in the works between the Niners and Seahawks again.

 

[Howey]

I think the Seahawks South will surprise quite a few this year.

 

[Montrovant]

with Brandon Lloyd back for them,I defenetely see another NFC championship game showdown in the works between the Niners and Seahawks again.

It's actually quite possible Lloyd won't make the final cut. Boldin, Crabtree and Johnson are almost sure to be the top 3, the Niners still have Patton and just drafted Ellington, it's a bit crowded at the position. I was a fan of Lloyd, but after a year out of football and with a lot of competition, who knows what will happen? I'd love it if he showed the same form as he did in Denver back in 2010, but I'm certainly not counting on it.

The Niners and Seahawks have to be the favorites to fight for the division, but I'm not sleeping on the Cardinals either. The Rams, I think, are still a step or two behind, but the Cards showed real strength last year, particularly beating Seattle in Seattle.

As fan that actually watches a game before making sweeping statements about it rather than coronating a team when they were the recipient of good fortune....

The Cardinals had a lot of bounces go their way in their success in the CenturyLink field last season. Their go ahead TD was a desperation throw that bounced off of their receivers (Floyd)hands...then off of our defenders hands(Maxwell)..then back into their receivers hands.. while both guys were in the air. 9 times in ten the ball bounces to the ground.

Of course the Cards deserved the win.. They had a better score at the end of the game. I doubt they can pull off that kind of a win again.

AZ better not count on Wilson having a horrible 11/27 day passing. Palmer threw for 4 interceptons.. How often can ya throw four pics and win? You can't?

Calling the game a display of "strength" on the part of AZ is rediculous.

It was Wilson's worst game of the year and Palmer's luckiest.

Seattle will sweep AZ and St Louis this season.

This just in!!! Sydney Rice retires !!!

That opens up a spot for one of our rookies.

Good! Rice is OK but he doesn't have the speed he once had.

You give far too little credit to Arizona's defense. If Seattle won a game the same way, you'd be gushing about how well the defense played to bail out the offense. Arizona had a very good defense last year. The offense was average at best, but they have at least attempted to shore up what may have been the worst offensive line in the league. They won 10 games last year, they were 6th in yardage defense and 7th in points defense.

I know you always want to put the best possible spin on anything Seahawks related, but the Cards were a better team than you seem to think.

I don't follow the Cardinals very closely.

I did review video from that game this morning before posting so if I have any bias I drew it from actual recorded events and not a preconception.

I suggest you might also review video from THAT game so neither of us is comenting from an 8 month old memory.

It is true that I favor the Seahawks.

That is no secret.

There is little about that game that make the Hawks look good. Even though the Seattle defense took the ball away from Palmer 4 times the Seahawks did little with the ball even though they had MANY extra possessions.

11 for 27 is by far the worst Wilson has thrown since becoming a Seahawk. Like I said there is little to point to even for a rabid fan such as myself evaluating my team in that game.

Ten wins is commendable. I'm sure the AZ fans found that encouraging.

I don't JUST support the Seahawks.. I STUDY the team and it's progress or regress very closely.

The Hawks are improved over last season in many areas and that will be reflected in the wins and losses this regular season. Wilson rarely repeats the same mistakes so I expect he will take personal responsibility for improving his throwing percentage and bring it up near his average at least which was near 65% for last season. 40% just won't do.

I hope the Cardinals and the Rams are also improved this year. I like competative games.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

I think the Seahawks South will surprise quite a few this year.

yeah they will surprise quite a few becoming the first team since the 2003 patriots to repeat. as long as they stay away from major injurys this year,its game over for the other teams.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

As fan that actually watches a game before making sweeping statements about it rather than coronating a team when they were the recipient of good fortune....

The Cardinals had a lot of bounces go their way in their success in the CenturyLink field last season. Their go ahead TD was a desperation throw that bounced off of their receivers (Floyd)hands...then off of our defenders hands(Maxwell)..then back into their receivers hands.. while both guys were in the air. 9 times in ten the ball bounces to the ground.

Of course the Cards deserved the win.. They had a better score at the end of the game. I doubt they can pull off that kind of a win again.

AZ better not count on Wilson having a horrible 11/27 day passing. Palmer threw for 4 interceptons.. How often can ya throw four pics and win? You can't?

Calling the game a display of "strength" on the part of AZ is rediculous.

It was Wilson's worst game of the year and Palmer's luckiest.

Seattle will sweep AZ and St Louis this season.

You give far too little credit to Arizona's defense. If Seattle won a game the same way, you'd be gushing about how well the defense played to bail out the offense. Arizona had a very good defense last year. The offense was average at best, but they have at least attempted to shore up what may have been the worst offensive line in the league. They won 10 games last year, they were 6th in yardage defense and 7th in points defense.

I know you always want to put the best possible spin on anything Seahawks related, but the Cards were a better team than you seem to think.

I don't follow the Cardinals very closely.

I did review video from that game this morning before posting so if I have any bias I drew it from actual recorded events and not a preconception.

I suggest you might also review video from THAT game so neither of us is comenting from an 8 month old memory.

It is true that I favor the Seahawks.

That is no secret.

There is little about that game that make the Hawks look good. Even though the Seattle defense took the ball away from Palmer 4 times the Seahawks did little with the ball even though they had MANY extra possessions.

11 for 27 is by far the worst Wilson has thrown since becoming a Seahawk. Like I said there is little to point to even for a rabid fan such as myself evaluating my team in that game.

Ten wins is commendable. I'm sure the AZ fans found that encouraging.

I don't JUST support the Seahawks.. I STUDY the team and it's progress or regress very closely.

under no circumstances would I ever root for the LAMBS to be an improved team-any team that beats that team that week is always my hero,but I especially want them to have a horrible year this year more than any other year because all signs point to them being back in LA next year but if they go and pull a seattle and go to the superbowl or something-not going to happen but if by some miracle they made it to the playoffs this year and have a winning record,then it will be harder for LA to get them back because the city will fight much harder to try and keep them after the season is over where if they have another losing season,they wont put up a much of a fight to keep them so EVERY NFL fan who wants them back in LA INCLUDING you Huggy,should be rooting for them to do really bad this year.

as for the Hawks yeah they are improved overall from last year except on depth though.they lost some of that over the offseason on the defensive line with the defection of Red Bryant and others so that is one concern to be concerned about because having that depth was a big factor in them being able to bring in other guys late in the game to keep the D line fresh and energized. so you got to wonder how much depth they have this year.

also their one weakness is the offensive line.they also struggled in the running game last year.they are going to have to improve in that area to repeat.Amazingly,i think they have an easier schedule this year than last year so it wont be too much of a concern during the regular season.

Had their running game not struggled though,the superbowl would have been an even bigger blowout than it was.the donkeys defense kept them within striking distance early on in the game when the seahawks down at the goal line in their first two possesions,failed to do anything in the running game and to get into the end zone because of it having to settle for two field goals and the donkesy pretty much had a swiss cheese defense all year long.Its not like they were playing the 49ers a much more physical defense.that was kind of embarrassing to me.

Seattle Seahawks? powerful run game struggling to find footing | canada.com
It looks like we now know why the seahawks struggled in the running game in the second matchup against them.

apparently tom cable had a brain fart thinking trying something different running off their side instead of up the middle like Lynch did the first time would throw them off or something.never mind lynchs game IS running up the middle powering people over.

also they got rid of Giocome so their run game should be better this year.he was a cancer to that team actually because not only did he struggle in the running game but he always had critical holding penaltys at the most worst critical times in the game and as the link shows,their running game was actually better when he was out of the lineup.so just him being gone will be an improvement for them.good riddance.

wow cant believe it. you're right,its no skin of the hawks nose that he retires. seems like he could have hooked up with another team though.im sure he could have easily.the fact he retired that tells me his concussions must have really been serious.

I agree that Breno Gioccomini was a loose cannon with an extraordinary keen ability to hold or commit a personal foul at the most inopportune moment. He was responsible for around a hundred lost yards a game for his bonehead plays. That is between the penalty and the yardage lost during the plays he effed up in.

The Hawks drafted this new kid Emett? I believe is his name that the coaches are really high on.

The players that had to step up and into the O-Line as replacements during the multiple injuries accross the O-Line last season will be much better prepared to fill in also as the Hawks are real big on the theory of rotating players to keep the line fresh.

Wilson was sacked some 43? times last season as a result of the multiple injuries to key players.

The Hawks MUST reduce that number of sacks for a repeat.

Wilson can help by releasing the ball sooner for good targets or just find a spot downfield near the feet of a Seahawk reciever to not get hit unneccesarily. I'm sure we will see Russell improve in that area this season.

As for Rice... He knows how well his body is doing better than anyone. His only REAL attribute he brings to the game is his height. He doesn't fight for the ball like Baldwin or Jermaine Kearse..he isn't athletically gifted like Harvin.. He doesn't have the blinding speed of Lockett or this New Guy Richardson..

Truth is Rice may well have not even made the team this year.

When you consider Miller and Willson as TE's and Lynch who can catch even poorly thrown balls with ease Rice was certainly no lock to win a spot this season.

Rice never had better than 4.5 40 speed anyway. This new Guy Richardson showed Carroll and Schneider a coach's timed 4.2 40 in a private camp before the draft. In the Mini camps the Hawks held before the break Richardson made several circus catches against the LOB with distances of 30-50 yards before YAC's. He's the REAL DEAL ! Keep an eye on him in the pre season games. Between him and Harvin it will be hard to contain Seahawks deep and if the opponents do manage to get deeper than those two there will be a whole lot of open green grass in the middle of the field.

My only concern with Richardson is his potential for doing stupid things off field. He was caught stealing from a co-ed's purse out of her locker as a freshman at UCLA. Rather than take his medicine the punk left for Colorado. A REALLY WEAK move. He has certainly dislayed a lack of character. Hopefully he has learned from his youthfull indesgressions.

LOL at you guys wasting your life arguing over niggerball even though it has no personal effect on you.

Fucking pathetic.

NFL.com is saying Marshawn Lynch is going to hold out of camp.

NFL.com is saying Marshawn Lynch is going to hold out of camp.

Ya.. KJR AM 950 is having a coronary over it as I write this.

Lynch isn't the be all end all of Seahawks football.

He ran for around 40 yards in the Superbowl.

He believes or his agent believes he is worth more than the 5 1/2 million he is contracted to get in 2014. Now is not the time to negotiate THAT contract. That water has long since gone under the bridge.

We as Americans do not negotiate with terrorists.

We have TWO excellent RBs waiting in the wings and an opportunity to make their talents felt on an NFL field.

I really love to see Lynch stiff arm some linebacker and toss him back ten yards on his ass. Lynch needs to get over himself or risk getting cut which is a distinct possibility.

If Marshawn shows up and fullfills his contract I hope the Seahawks can forgive this childish snitfit on Lynch's behalf. If he does not he will get a reality check and lose the money fined for missing manditory practice and his 2014 projected salary.

He won't be the first atlete to get bad advice from his agent and pay dearly for it.

Lynch has a very good and fair contract. If he chooses to go back on his word and the terms he agreed to he is a fool.

Marshawn may very well find himself having to pay for a premium cable service to see the Seahawks on the field this season.

Christine Michael and Robert Turbin can fill the Lynch void.

I'm not a bit worried. I'm happy if he stays... I'm happy if he leaves.

Looky here !!! We have a lost puppy following us around

How many times have our parents told us not to feed the homeless mutts ???

WTM ??? Commie? You can't find some stupid soccor game on ESPN Europe?

There must be some sport happening you can cheat on.

Ever notice that they don't play golf in Russia? Why? Because a golf player must keep his own score and report any infraction on himself. There aren't enough honest people in Moscow to fill out a foursome...
