Rams got this coach pissed 😂
I was on another channel and agreed with someone’s post about that horrible call on Devon Witherspoon getting flagged for a personal fowl tackling Xavier SMITH and the guy that runs the post called me a fan boy and told me to get off his channel..! I saw what i saw and told him Devon wasn’t tackling a quarterback like Tom Brady laying there giving himself up and the runner was clearly trying to get up to gain more yards .. Also the defender is taught to tackle the ball at the same time.. what are some of your thoughts on this 15 yard penalty…? 😮
Seattle lost to Tampa but the defense got shredded by Baker. Seattle's defense kept them in the game but Darnold had a bad day. Seattle got to the Red Zone 3 times but couldn't score. 🤷🤷
As a hawks fan, Stephen A. is absolutely right and if you disagree you are just in your feels. Sam Darnold never shows up when it matters. Rams TWICE last year and folded in the playoffs. Folded the week before against the Lions when the division was on the line for the 1 seed. Folded against the 49ers in week 1 with a fumble on a game winning drive, Folded against the bucs with a pick on a game winning drive, and now threw 4 picks against the rams when the division was on the line AGAIN. Geno showed up and beat the 49ers last year AT THEIR HOME. Even drew lock beat the eagles. This man Sam isn't a rookie, its year 8. Sam is a great QB, an upgrade from Geno, and will get you wins, he just HAS NOT shown up when ehen the game matters. When pressure shows up and the game is in his hands, he folds. Feelings aside, those are facts. Lucky for Mike and his defense. Love that we have a young and driven head coach. If anyone can fix sam hopefully its him #GoHawks
4 Int's. We only lost by 2 points, against a Superbowl caliber team. We love you coach.
This team is always PATHETIC against the Rams
I haven’t really looked at the RB snap spread in that way, spreading the plays keeps K9 and Charb both healthier and it gives both guys game time experience. Come playoffs we’ll have 2 fairly healthy backs that can push their body’s harder through the playoffs and now holani is starting to come into the rotation
Macdonald may be a good coach, but he is not an inspirational leader. He seems joyless too often.
WE ARE only 10 games into this new offensive scheme – new quarterback! For the love of god let things settle for a year you greedy bastards. WE ALREADY HAVE MORE WINS THAN LV predicted!!
Say what you will about Mike's personality, he is an INTERESTING interview. Very little "coach-speak" here.
I enjoy the team press room! Duggar, Mazvita, Brian, Corbin, Sando, and others all do a great job and have interesting projects going on around the team!
Going for a tush Push on 3rd and 1 was one of the worst offensive decisions I have seen all year. Forgivable , but , not what I want to see.
Best case scenario loss. Not a seahawk fan but you want your team to lose a game like that to not lose like that in the playoffs.
Sam Darnold is a lot better quarterback for sure even though they loss against the ram if Geno still the quarterback of the Seahawks it would be 3-win and 7-loss and they're gonna be out of play off picture.
Coach Mike needs to put his foot down. It’s ok to have your QB’s back. After the 1st interception MM should have talked to Sam Darnold about it. You calm your QB down. You make sure that he’s on board with protecting that ball. No turnovers is the #1 rule. One pick we can survive. 2 is too much. You need to hate the word turn over. You need to hate interceptions. Somebody hit the QB. Matt needed to be hit! That’s one thing. The other thing is playing smart. Throwing accurate balls and not interceptions.
Thank God! Grey Zabel will come back!
My only main concern is SAM
Glad Zabel is not seriously injured. Good thing this week is basically a bye week with the the Titans up next.
Coach; your team did not quit and there is no greater praise for a football coach than that. As a fan, that is all I feel entitled to. Players that don't quit. Your roster is chock full of them. Win or lose, I love watching them ball.
I will take 3 losses at half way point all year every year. Perfection is tough to attain in the NFL. I'm happy with where we are at this year.
Meyers attempt was not great…
You weren't outcoached or even out played. If that last lucky bounce punt gets any return or a touchback totally different outcome.
Seattle will be alright got to have faith
We needed to have a game like this. We need the challenge and happy it happened now instead of playoff game 1. Back to the drawing board
You guys did him dirty with the thumbnail capture
QB1 has been doing great until last Sunday, but I still think he is our best option and gives us the best opportunity to win!
I love my Hawks, but you can't overcome 4 interceptions. This cannot continue. We should have won by two touchdowns.
SD needs to protect the ball much better if we expect to go deep into the season. One or two bad reads. Three and four careless ball handling.
Did i just hear him say K9 is finally earning more carries ?!?!? 😅 YES
K9 looked really twitchy and quick yesterday
Am I hearing this right? Did they actually fix the audio for the reporters so we can actually hear the questions being asked?
Sam needs to not depend on JSN all the time we have weapons get them involved. Don't waste this defense
GO HAWKS!!!
I believe Sam had the last years nine sack 27-9 playoff loss to the Rams on his mind in the first half . He settled down in the second half , and learned he could play the Rams without that fear , nearly pulled of a miraculous comeback .
you gotta enjoy learning from the losses too
it's all part of the game
I think the Seahawks are the most physical team in the NFL by a decent margin too
Sam will bounce back
Defense can't tackle. Defense can't get sacks. Defense can't get picks. Offense cant run the play. Offense can't do play action. Seahawks got exposed
This was Rocky. We’ll go Rocky II on them week 15
Coach, you’re doing a fantastic job I have all the faith in the world in you and the Hawks!
I don’t know what his stats were but Demarcus Lawrence was a beast in the red zone.
Curious how the Rams D causes so many turnovers and offenses to play poorly. Somehow, the Seattle D had an impact on Stafford, too. Darnold did a lot, including 4 too many throws. The best throws credited to Stafford may be the ones he didn't throw. We knew these teams were matched eerily close, other than turnover margin. Crazy to think that is the difference after the game. Can't wait for the next meeting!
That punt out inside the 1 was so lucky for LA. Just think what might have happened if the last drive started after a touchback.
If you lost faith in the team after Sunday’s game, you aren’t a real Seahawks fan.
If you’re rushing to your keyboard to clap back at this comment because it irks you, it’s ok—not everyone is mentally or emotionally capable of moving on to the next week.
Go hawks 🟢🔵
if he's cleared for the Tennessee game, rest him for an extra week! He's become a crucial piece to this O line!! We need him for those tough games.
I Feel this was more of a coaches game they were really playing chess.. the teams themselves are dawgs …GO HAWKS !
We're gonna be fine. We've got the younger, newer team, played our worst possible game on offense, and the best team in the NFL was sweating against us on a FG attempt as time expired. We beat ourselves. We know we can beat them.
Thank you lord for sparing zabels knee and keeping my hopes alive go hawks!
This loss doesn’t define them, it’s against the rams and yeah they should’ve won that game but this team can still fight
I paid $500 just to see Sam Darnold throw 4 interceptions smh defense played great and JSN
Let's GO SEAHAWKS!!! 💙 💚
