Run game was actually going so well. Big gains on some runs it was tough just seeing us abandon it when it was netting us some good yardage

[@Obesewhite]

K Walker was running into defenders instead of open pockets the whole game. He’s great but with this OLine and his thought process this year were horrible. We need to stop overthinking it just run it like they did with McIntosh at the end.

Another interview without a single hard question.

[@DarkwingHawk]

Why was DK bending his route to the sideline ? He let geno throw a pick.

[@2jYeti]

He's done this so many times. It's frustrating.

[@alexha2884]

He ain’t a good route runner. We could get a WR in the 2nd or 3rd round that could do that job that dk is now doing which is just being a deep threat to open things up for JSN.

[@brotherk57]

I wish we were throwing it to Lockett in that situation

[@jo-nathan.thomas]

The fact that Coach Mac has said they're keeping the reason for that pick "in-house" is telling... I don't know if DK and Geno are beefing, while JSN is blowing up... But I definitely understand why Geno chooses JSN more for reliability.

[@aiasthewall1]

No more option routes to DK

[@DarkwingHawk]

DK was supposed to make a side line catch. Not bend it deep

[@barbarageisenhoff2078]

This is excruciatingly painful to watch... an autopsy of the Seahawk/Viking game is not for the faint of heart. It hurts.

[@gmichaelhall]

😂 what a joke. The better team exploited the shortcomings of the next best team on the day which maximised the very few mistakes made by our defence. Seattle played a great game against a great team that made fewer mistakes that were well managed by their coaching staff. We have an awesome HC and his staff just aren’t as talented as he is. An offense with diminished coaching is going to make mistakes on the field trying to mitigate that shortcoming. Congratulations to the Vikings and thank you for the opportunity for Seattle to demonstrate just how close we are to giving the best a run for it. 12’s need to harden up. Go Hawks ✌️

[@ryanrichardson9915]

Reek has been lost for two seasons now. Spoon should have traveled with JJ, and that last int, like 3-4 other Int’s this season, was on DK running a lazy route. Geno put that ball right where it was supposed to be inside a minute, to the sideline. I have no idea what DK was thinking, or the route he was running. He ran it like he was clearing for someone running underneath him.

[@dontme5670]

Casuals have it on geno 😂😂 baffles me. Some people just hate him😂

[@gmichaelhall]

@@dontme5670Geno cops a ton of passive racism. It’s the underlying reason so many feel entitled to target him. It’s more than obvious at this stage. Pathetic incomplete people with a sense of entitlement that is disgraceful. The absence of humility is only equaled by the propounded level of stupid Go Geno Go Hawks✌️

[@YukonCaribou]

I wonder why they don't move Spoon around rather than just have him work the slot, sure he is great in the slot but I think he would be great on the corners too.

[@mikeb1596]

What's sad is they could very easily be a top 10 team with a competent NFL offensive coordinator. Grubb should've been gone this morning

[@ExaltedSeahawksFan]

I couldn’t agree more!

[@gmichaelhall]

On everything. If Grubb had an ounce of self awareness he would’ve resigned. Geno trying to do his job for him already so what’s to be missed. Get him gone agreed! Go Hawks✌️

[@sbyman96]

This is the first year of a completely new coaching staff. Yeah it’s frustrating but calm down

[@aaaaa-k8z]

Grubb may not be NFL ready but still an upgrade from Waldron imo. Is there another OC who would be available that we have a chance to get?

Woolen is a 🤡. He’s a player you don’t want to build a new culture with.

[@calinator51]

Riq is a great DB, stop. He had a mental error on the biggest play of the game. Move on and get better

[@Sage-nc9uq]

He's on my crappy list! He wasn't even watching the player he was playing defense on! Just allowed that guy to score a touch down! 😡

[@badass1g]

Woolen is the biggest turd on the field almost weekly now! His rookie year was great but not his heart isn’t in it. NEXT!

[@DarkwingHawk]

Jobe is better then Riq right now

[@leonconcepcion2079]

Only your first season. In Mike McDonald, we trust.

[@aaaaa-k8z]

I trust coach Mike, JS not so much. Next year should be interesting.

[@DarkwingHawk]

Im not sure who I hate more then Riq night now. Geno is second for never running and letting his o line take the blame. I expect geno to throw picks sadly

[@gmichaelhall]

This is one of the more unenlightened takes on this thread. Save your hate for self loathing and defeatist nonsense.

[@DarkwingHawk]

Why is Riq so lost in coverage? He stopped running at the 30 yard line. He let Jefferson fly by. Then he NEVER runs top speed when he SHOULD realize he is beat

[@calinator51]

That is not being lost but a complete lack of effort on everything including tackling as well. He has 4.2 speed and no effort at all. Ship him.

[@samchin6710]

In hopes of Love to help. Riq could’ve made a play if he didn’t stop

[@samchin6710]

What if Murphy didn’t cause the face mask???

[@brianmyers4444]

It was cover two zone-as Coach confirmed in his press conference-and Woolen was responsible for short area his side…once Jefferson goes by (Woolen still responsible for what’s in front of him) Love has to get over to cover deep….too late and they score….

[@MikeThompsonJr]

Appreciate the question on lack of run plays Brock

[@DarkwingHawk]

First off why is spoon not on Jefferson?

[@Nicklovin686]

Cuz spoon is nickel and we don't rotate corners

[@2jYeti]

Well youd expect woolen to do his job but he is so inconsistent trash

[@MandeepSingh-ki6ve]

​@Nicklovin686 that's stupid. Keep getting cooked by Jefferson but not put your best db because we dont rotate. Lmao what kind of stubborn coaching is that?

[@zachrichardson5581]

​@@MandeepSingh-ki6ve it's the kind of coaching that is used by a good majority of the league. Most schemes don't feature a true "traveling" CB. The structure is more important than that idea of an individual match-up. That's such a surface level fan way of thinking smh.

Riq reeks bench him or cut him. He has gotten worst since Seattle drafted him. If Schneider does not fix the o-line next year he needs to be fired. Need to get a new qb Geno is average maybe a little better on a good day.

[@dontme5670]

Id say trade him maybe get a 4th or 5th pick on the offseason. Id say cut/release/trade riq, dre jones, chenna, fant. K9, lockett. Spend on fa & use draft to attack the oline completely. And fill dline, wr, db depth. Resign ejIV

[@AD-im5to]

Geno showed how they can’t move forward with him . Good QB on certain days but awful in the red zone and the interceptions add up

[@noelahg79]

MM is the guy. Get a better GM and OC and we will be better. We can't have a worse OL. Also, if you watch the tape, DK was 100% responsible for the second int. It was quite frankly, embarrassing.

He has actually lost more games then he has won as our starter. I think we would be better to find a different qb#1 sometime soon! Geno is too hot and cold IMO.

Last year the Seahawks finished the year allowing 751 more yards than the 13th ranked team at seasons end. As of now, they have allowed only 43 more yards than the 13th ranked team and that's after a slow start without Jones and Knight at LB. Seahawks could easily finish in the top 15 in yards allowed after finishing 30th a year ago. Imagine if they could run the ball well on offense.

[@drpammy7847]

Dont cry 12s. Its a rebuild w lots of rookie coaches & players. Mistakes happen. MOVE OL HUFF to a new role & Make Baldy Baldinger & Mark Schlereth new co-OL Coaches. OLC role is more vital than HC role. In cold rainy windy snowy winter run O & run D really matters. As per HoF HCs Belichick & Lombardi. HoF HC said JSN is a hybrid of Jerry Rice & Largent. Spoon is a hybrid of Daryl Green & Ronde Barber. Top pundits DJ Jeremiah, Mark Sanchez, Bucky Brooks & Mina Kimes agree.😢 If u end 8-9 u get picks 11 + 43 + 75. (3 picks in top 75 lets u get a new LG like S.Hutchinson + new C like Unger + new DT like M.Bennet or C.Avril) U almost defeated #2 seed & likely SB bound Vikes (as Lions are v injured) With a new improved iOL & DT u win SB in Feb 2026 as Geno is the new Jim Plunkett & Sam H the new Hosteler. U can even trade our high value rookies to take a star top 3 pick. Eg trade away B.Murphy &/or Uchenna &/or Dre J &/or J.Love & u can get a bunch of picks who fit HC Mikes needs better. Or u can get a star like Micah Parsons etc. If we sneak into POs we probably get beat at Lumen by the Lions. Do ya really want 1 & done behind that iOL which almost put Geno on IR. Geno played well on a painful knee. Have u ever had a sprain? So what if he throws 1 INT per game. He also gets 3 TDs. Thats what Jim Plunkett & Brett Favre used to do & they won SBs after tricky starts behind weak OLs. ITS XMAS CHEER UP & DO YO PRAYERS CUZ THATS HOW CHIEFS FANS ENDED about 50 years of hurt without a SB. Please stop selling lumen tickets to rival fans. Its embarrassing when they mock us in our own house.

Developing a lot of affection for Macdonald. Grubb is learning and I believe he will show us a lot --next year; This off season he needs to learn what a 'pitch' is and get our RB's running North /South. Harbaugh/Dickson MUST go back to school and become experts at what once was called punting into the coffin corner. Goal for next year --NO TOUCHBACKS on punts all season! Seattle's problem aside from the fact they don't scare anyone is far, far, far too often Seahawks look like they are playing with ten players while the opposition has 11. 9 home games this year no excuse for Seattle to ever STINK so bad at home. Next year nine away games and likely an over seas trip to Germany to go with a 2nd place schedule. That's not gonna be fun. Metcalf, Woolan and Geno might be able to bring draft capital this spring...we'll see. Seahawk's might, maybe, be able to contend to win the Division in 2026.

Cant invest hope in players that can't get past themselves.
