Official Seahawks 'Wheels Coming Off the Bus' thread

[Freelove 617]

Take away the PEDs and all you've got is Russell Wilson, who is one of the best QBs in the game right now, but it's not enough to make another deep run.

This is how Peyton Manning's career went the first 10 years! Great QB, playoff flameout.

I really haven't seen much yet to suggest Wilson will be any kind of playoff underachiever. Granted, he didn't really need to show up for the SB, so there's still data to be mined, but he certainly didn't melt down on the biggest stage, either.

I think Russ is a good reason for optimism, moving ahead, and I think they will (and should) lock him up long-term. But I'm not sure the surrounding roster is going to be (in combination) healthy and talented enough to get it done this year. That defense has real issues right now, and if they can't scratch up a pass rush from somewhere, those problems aren't going away.

I'll take incoherent non sequiturs for $1000.

I take Paypal.

Seems a steep price to charge for lack of comprehension, though.

Yours wasn't what I was alluding to, though if you understand Russ there might be cause for some concern.

Where is the Scientist?

(or has that been discussed already)

I figure he can give the inside scoop.

I typically watch the games with friends so I don't post much on Sundays. Mental mistakes lost that games. The rams always play the hawks really tough so the loss was not all that shocking. They are 3-3 and have a ton of injuries they are dealing with. They are the most talented team in the NFL when healthy, and you really don't want to peak early so Im not all that concerned. They just need to finished 11-5 or 10-6 and I think they make the playoffs/win the division. Im not to concerned about Arizona. Im much more relaxed about it then some seahawk fans.

This is pretty much it. I was not surprised that they lost, it's the way that it was lost that shocked me. Seattle's O-line is in shambles, starting LB, TE, FB are out, the backups are injured, and Seattle is playing there 5th string CB. All of those players will be healthy for the games that matter. Divisions are won in Nov/Dec...not early October.

I see Seattle going 3-1 in the next 4 games. This team will be fine. The great news, Seattle played better with Harvin gone.

ETA: Pass rush is horrible.

They should win their next three, CAR is atrocious right now, OAK is OAK and the NYG are a mess. Then it gets tough. They've put themselves in a position where if they don't win out they are probably going to have to go on the road for a game or two to get back to the Superbowl and let's face it, they aren't the same team on the road as they are at home.

I tend to agree. It's a small sample size, so we shall see. The future certainly looks bright.

Doug Baldwin: Percy Harvin trade may have factored in loss to Rams

[Ghost Rider 6,214]

Seattle will right the ship very soon, but they have a lot to fix. They looked great in the opener against Green Bay, but have looked nothing like that since, not even in their other two wins. They looked sloppy against Washington and had a ton of penalties, and they had the 4th quarter breakdown against the Broncos (before winning in OT). Them at their best is still the scariest thing in the league, but Carroll has a lot of work to do to get them back to that point.

[Dizzy 803]

Doug Baldwin: Percy Harvin trade may have factored in loss to Rams

I guess Baldwin didn't get the memo about how embarrassing weak excuses are. Maybe they should have explained it to the Rams staff ahead of kickoff so they could tell their players to take it easy on Seattle. You know, because they were sad and all about losing Percy's lack of production, insubordination, and occasional knuckle sandwiches.

My heart bleeds for Lynch too... he must have been plowing through bags of Skittles over the weekend. Probably what bogged him down on Sunday.

[Doctor Detroit 20,905]

Wilson and the Seahawks have a 10-9 record on the road since he took over as starter (and another win and a loss in the post season in road games). Essentially they are a .500 team playing away from home. If they win at the same rate they have been in both home and road games, they would still win 10 or 11 games this year. That being said, their schedule is not doing them any favors as they still have to play at CAR, KC, SF, PHI, and ARI.

Last five Super Bowl Champs road records:

2013 Seahawks 6-2

2012 Ravens 4-4

2011 Giants 5-3

2010 Packers 3-5

2009 Saints 7-1

Since 2009 the Patriots have the best road record at 25-17, Saints are second at 24-20. Over the last 15 years road teams are winning at about a .425 clip, and only one team since 2002 has won more road games than home games (Giants). Last year seven teams had a winning road record, all seven made the playoffs. There were five more teams who went 4-4 or better, three of those teams made the playoffs. Saints and Bengals were the only two teams with losing road records that made the playoffs, but they were both 8-0 at home.

2012 Bears 5-3

2011 Raiders and Broncos 5-3

2010 Dolphins 6-2 (1-7 at home)

2009 Texans 5-3

2008 Patriots 6-2

That is the full list of teams who have winning road records who didn't make the playoffs. All of them lost three or more at home also.

So having a winning road record or even being 500 if you are a good home team, is gonna get you into the playoffs. Wilson is 10-9 and he's been to the playoffs twice, and if he goes 4-4 this year, he's probably going back again. .500 on the road in the NFL is essentially...pretty good.

I don't have enough faith in the Cardinal's QB situation to think that they can win that division. We'll also find out a lot about their defense when they face the Eagles this week.

[Dinkle Heimer 67]

Natw Silver predicting they won't make the playoffs.

Well, the model Silver uses predicts they will "most likely" finish 9-7 (21%) and miss the playoffs. However, that's only slightly ahead of the 10-6 (18%), 11-5 (17%), and 8-8 (16%) simulations. In other words there are 4 likely scenarios for final regular season record; all carrying a completely different outcome.

This made me laugh. They're certainly not the most talented team in the league this season, otherwise they wouldn't be 3-3. Every good team suffers injuries and the next man steps up. They're still solid, but not the same team as last year and don't even look like a top 10 team. I think they peaked the week they played the Broncos, and it's a downhill slide from here.

I do think they have trouble in the coming offseason with folks wanting to get paid.

[jurb26 926]

FWIW, Gruden said Sea moved Harvin because he's not a true WR and not a true RB. Sea was sacrificing their winning offense to make exceptions for him, forcing him the ball. So, they got rid of him.
