Again, this game is totally meaningless, and based on the reaction, not giving s#*@ at all this point.
And from looks of sidelines all throughout the game, Pete’s likely getting fired at end of season, regardless of whether team made the playoffs or not.
Currently watching the #Seahawks game. Announcers bemoaning their tackling. Overall, though, having watched other teams at #NFL and #NCAA level, actual tackling seems to be becoming a lost art. Feels like everyone wants to make the big hit that gets them on the highlight reels that they're sacrificing the mundane wrap-ups.
@ferricoxide@nfl#NFL I assumed the use of 'hits' instead of wrap up tackles was in the category of 'career extending moves'. Just like ball carriers that avoid hits by dodging out of bounds and numerous other player behaviors. Totally understandable that the teams are OK with that given how injuries play such a major role in which teams make the playoffs.
Except that, due their intrinsic barely controlled nature, hits are more likely to result in injury to both the giver and recipient. If you're looking for self preservation, then sideline shove outs make sense, but the knock down vs wrap down shit nowhere near the sidelines?
Ok, halftime & our #Seahawks trail by 3, 14-17
Need to wake up our anemic defense, need to get the ball more & obviously score more!
Plenty of game left. How we feeling #12s?
My #Seahawks had one of those unfortunate sports cliches today... "tale of two halves". They played good... in the first half. Second half? 3 gd yards TOTAL. That crap just ain't gonna get it done. 2 injured OL didn't help in pass protection but 3 yards... total... in a half of a football game?! No.
Oh, also: Hairspray McVay taunting DK from sideline near the end of the game but of course, only a penalty on DK.
Can't wait for this away game later in the season. I cannot stand that diva team.
You may have missed this but the stretch of I-405 between #Renton and #bellevuewa is completely closed this weekend from 10p Friday to 5a Monday.
Avoid the area. Avoid the detour as Coal Creek is slow enough without the traffic.
