Feel you but how low is the bar rn for the #1 overall pick?

I’m so old I remember the Seahawks once had a defense so dominant, TV executives used it as an excuse for not giving the team home prime-time televised games because there were so many blowout wins.

This felt, momentarily, like a return to that except for LBs making splash plays instead of CBs.

At least, that’s what Brick told me based on his last 2 seasons of the madden game.

If AI and Belichick are the answer, what’s the question?

I’ve got this strange feeling that if someone tells him this, he ain’t listening.

That one’s on the defense. Wide open just running around back there

Geej @mynoserunswhenieat.bsky.social · 4d

Green shoots, though.

Look so much better than early in the season.

If they’re able to keep improving they’ll be ok.

We get a different answer to this question from the TV crew each week.

Anybody’s guess.

Mine is he wasn’t elected captain as QB1 and the best player on the squad because he big-timed his teammates during the spring.

He’s a very good QB whose only weakness is INTs under pressure. Think Jameis

Geej @mynoserunswhenieat.bsky.social · 4d

Couple weeks ago, the sideline reporter said he wasn’t acting like his true self with teammates.

That’s my take, fwiw.

Zevi’s wasn’t elected captain and that’s almost impossible if you’re QB1 and the best player on the squad.

Think he big-timed his teammates and coaches this spring

Funny part is the TV crew for each game has a different explanation for Zevi or starting the season.

The explanations are also in conflict with one another.

Today’s explanation was that the coaches didn’t understand the leadership and confidence Zevi inspires in his teammates.

He’s the most dominant WR I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched all of them including Rice, Johnson, Owens, and Moss.

Geej @mynoserunswhenieat.bsky.social · 7d

Error prone?

Geej @mynoserunswhenieat.bsky.social · 8d

It’s not all bad. It’s still useful in a lot of ways.

People just treat it like, and want it to be, the one, true measure.

It’s not any better or worse than any other single measure including DVOA, win-loss record, Pro-Bowl appearance, All-Pro or EPA.

You can drop the war analogies, grandpa. You’re not in a war. You’re playing a game.

“So, once I play how I want to play, the league will be fucked” has the same chance of happening as “we have the ability to be a top-10 offense.”

They’re dumb BECAUSE they’re suffering from lead poisoning.

As a lifelong Seahawks fan, I can’t tell you how strange it is to knowing one of our coordinators out-schemed/game-planned another team.

Geej @mynoserunswhenieat.bsky.social · 9d

Isn’t a consensus top team but there’s a dozen with 1 reason they aren’t.

“If things were perfect”, we’d be the best team.

Things are never going to be perfect.

Geej @mynoserunswhenieat.bsky.social · 9d

Haven’t seen a coordinator target a middle backer like this in a minute.

Every freaking play.

Whaa?

<Whispers> Might want to watch all of Cam Ward’s film before you go getting all reckless like that

Geej @mynoserunswhenieat.bsky.social · 9d

Narrator:

Ward did, in fact, *not* hit the ground running.

With a 55% completion rate, 3 TDs, 4 INTs and 25 sacks in his first 6 games, he’s looking exactly like he did every season in his college career.

Only difference is people are actually watching every snap rather than only his highlights.
