well they will have at least learned from experience from this game for the future in consider that next time.Rivers had a decent day, but according the SFNJ's Seattle's defense is supposed to be "unstoppable", right? Sherman can't be beat, right? Guess they have feet of clay after all......oh wait, sorry, it was the dark colored uniforms.....
Wanna know the real reason Seattle lost? San Diego was able to consistently get decent gains on first and second downs. That set up third-and-short, and five of San Diego’s third-down conversions were 2 yards or less. Rivers excels at 3-5 yard passes. None of their passes were longer than 21 yards.
POPPYCOCK !!!!!!!
Seattle lost because SD converted on a freaky high number of third downs. It WASN'T because they were extra good at setting up with higher than average 1st and 2nd downs.
Seattle wasn't that good at racking up 3rd down conversions because dor the most part they didn't need them. They scooted own the field around 400 yards and like only had to convert like 3 3rd downs.
It may sound crazy but I think the Hawks offense was the Seahawks defense's worst enemy because they scored in about two minutes on each Seahawk drive and put their defense right back on the field with little time to rest and cool down from the previous SD drives. The Hawks punted rarely in the game...they had few 3 and outs. If they had taken MORE time to go down the field they probably would have won easily.
What is it that you think they need to learn from this experience?
