SEATTLE SEAHAWKS DEFENSE. (1 Viewer)

Eminence

Footballguy
Wow, I've never been a fan of drafting Defenses early but acquiring this Team Defense has been HUGE for me in one league in particular. They're just Sack, Int, and Touchdown Machines.

In one league, they've scored approximately 78 points in 4 - weeks. That's almost a 20 point advantage per week so far. That's almost unheard of and has been able to make up a dud or two in my starting lineup.

I'm going to make sure to have this defense in EVERY LEAGUE I play in next fall.

EDIT: Just looked it up, Kansas City's Defense isn't doing too shabby either. They've scored 94.42 Points in my league! Woah, HUGE ADVANTAGE.

 
Kc is better, most people picked them up off waivers which equals more value. As of right now only 5-6 qbs have scored more than kc defense. Graham may pass them tonight though.

 
This D is sick, what is their dynasty value? Are they young? How does their medium range future look like with contracts? I have never thought about a trade to acquire them but would a third or second be worth a defense?

Pretty high. In our dynasty league DSTs score pretty high, (Seattle is averaging 21.75 and KC 26). I was able to get Seattle D for Mike Williams, which I thought was an absolute steal. They are a pretty young defense. I acquired them at the same time I grabbed KC D off the wire. I'll just play the matchups. I don't think Seattle D is matchup proof though.

 
Just checked stats in my main league.

In that one, KC is outscoring SEA by approximately 5 points per week right now. KC is #1 and SEA is #2.

The difference between SEA and defense #12, CIN, is also about 5 points per week.

As always, the lesson appears to have been "don't take a defense early." The other defense teams took super early, SF, is #19.

Three of the top four have played JAX. :thumbup:

When you pick poorly any pick looks like crap. Peyton owners are happy even though most said wait on a qb.

I also picked kc off of the waiver wire. Rule one ff never draft a defense early, it cost you in the long run

That's odd. In all my leagues, other defenses are scoring points, too.
This is called fuzzy math. The FBG board certified Accounting major, Eminence, surely knows more math than any of us.

The guy is probably on suicide watch...he can't post in the FFA for awhile so he is posting here. Leave the kid alone.

 
KC has been the better D thus far and they were also the better value. In my league, KC is averaging 3 points per game more than Sea, who is 2nd. Actually, KC is performing so well through 4 weeks they are the 5th best overall scorer in the league.

I also like KC better for the rest of the season. Minus the 2 games vs. Den I think their schedule is friendlier. They've still got games vs.;

Tenn, minus their starting QB.

Oak, 2x

"I started a thread for every player in the NFL.... BUT OMG, I FORGOT ABOUT THE BEST DEFENSE!!!"



:lol:

 
I think they're about to get diced up by Andrew Luck this weekend. I have no facts or stats to throw out or anything, just a hunch.

why can't he post in ffa?

 
Does KC hold more value over Seattle in Dynasty?
Dynasty TD/ST value seems to fluctuate so much... mainly because of coaching / scheme changes but I think SoS can play a huge roll too. You can pick a D with the most talent, but it doesn't always work out. Talent wise, KC is right up there with Seattle IMO, Cleveland as well. How that translates into fantasy points is a crapshoot though.

Obviously the systems are different, but it will be interesting to see how much Luck's former teammates will affect the game. Sherman said that before he was the starter, Luck would carve up the first team D running the scout team. Baldwin played on O with him, so the Hawks have a pretty excellent source of info from insiders on both sides of the ball. I think it'll play out like it usually does for Seattle, a lot of yards but tightening up in the red zone and limiting scores. Their second half adjustments this season have been spectacular, so Pagano needs to have basically two game plans to challenge the D.

And oh yeah, this. Good call.
I'm not saying the Colts didn't deserve to win this (well, I kind of am) but a large quantity of their scoring drives were due to drive-extending penalties.
Cheaters don't win.
Half-assed troll job. Keep doing it though, I'm sure someone will bite.

Ummmm that s why they're called penalties numb nuts.

Ah, great comeback. You can do some serious damage against the 10 year olds.

 
If they didn't commit penalties, then they wouldn't be called. Are the officials supposed to look the other way on big plays or downs?

Laughing at someone suggesting the Colts didn't deserve to win that game.

It was a great game, don't cheapen it.

I'm not going to group all fans in this category, but you are one of the select Seahawks fans who have been extremely toolish on this board. You have already crowned your team the best in the league very early in the season. Then you lose, make excuses, and when I point out facts you say things like this. Just stop making yourself look foolish. I really like Russell Wilson, but some of you make it easy to want to see this team lose. Committing penalties is cheating.

Not really. Maybe at some small semantic level it is, but in common usage it isn't even close. Penalties are in-game infractions, cheating is considered for stuff outside the actual game: PEDs, videotaping, manipulating salary cap etc... If you want to call committing penalties cheating, then no team in the league is worth supporting. All the SB winners are dirty cheaters not worth admiring. Every player is a cheater and not to be considered a role-model. Etc... Making that association, contrary to the common accepted definition of the words as pertains to football, is extremely silly.

Is it still "cheating" if its a bad call?

Bad calls happen in every game. Both teams get bad calls. I think it would be nearly impossible for a game to be officiated so well that both teams would receive equal treatment. That's just human nature. I think Seattle suffered two very bad calls yesterday (The blocked punt that should have been a TD and the offensive pass interference on Tate). Indy also had some bad calls go against them. Just before Sherman got flagged for PI I think Browner got away with illegal contact. IMO those made a big difference in the outcome. That said, I'm 100% confident that Seattle has had game changing calls go in their favor that has won them a game that perhaps they didn't deserve to win. Happens all the time for all teams. In the long run it probably balances out. I'm good with it as I think the refs do the best they can with their given circumstances.

 
Did the hawks defense have just 2 sacks? I wasn't able to watch the game. I thought their pass rush was pretty good, and Luck had previously been sacked a lot. Any one watch the game can comment?

Find the post where I crowned the Seahawks. If you want to make me look foolish then find it and post it. Otherwise you're just some joker that doesn't know what the #### he's talking about.

Admit it, you're just trying to troll and are all bent out of shape because I'm calling you out as being a #####. You have a bone to pick with Seattle because your stinky team isn't in the media spotlight. You are a tool.

 
:lmao:

There's no trolling here. I have seen you, ITS, and Sweeney stink up this board for some time with your blind :homer: . You 3 for the most part ruin it for the rest of the Seahawk fans. I'm not going to go back and find quotes because, well, I don't really care if you don't want to own up to it. You simply were outplayed yesterday. Penalties aren't why you lost. It's amusing to see excuses rather than you admit your team didn't play a better game than your opponent.

And, it's very well documented on this board what team I'm a huge fan of. My team is in the media spotlight more than I'd like. They are 5-0. While I love that fact and the fact that we've turned our defense around, I'll remain silently confident at this time as it's way to early in the season to boast and brag. I just want to have home field in the playoffs as I don't think anyone will beat us at home.....including the Seahawks. And I'll admit that I wouldn't want to play Seattle at home. If all of this constitutes me being a tool, so be it. But, the fact is that it doesn't. You're just acting like my 5 year old niece.

This isn't fair. He's not the blind homer that you're making him out to be. ITS is the only one. Sweeney doesn't even boast about the team that way. He likes to argue, but that's it. You won't see anyone other than ITS being over the top ignorant. ITS repeatedly tries to convince everyone that the Seahawks aren't fallible. I call him on it all the time and he doesn't understand why. Its because of posts like yours. You're convinced that Seattle fans other than ITS are blind homers. I guess I don't blame you. ITS is really that bad.

Sorry, but I disagree. Granted, this guy isn't as bad as ITS, but his shtick is very over the top. I'm not lumping all Seattle fans with these guys, but they don't represent your fanbase very well.
