Jamal should have been on the sidelines last game cheering on his team. Makes one think there’s more to it than recovery.

[@trentwise3762]

Yeah his choice to stay home made me change my stance on him. I’ve supported him up till then, but with him staying home in the biggest game of the year for us and love winning that game for us. Cut adams and keep love next year

Were at our very best right now? We just ended a brutal 4 game losing streak i wouldnt claim were at our best. We got a lot of work to do and have to be alot better

[@fanhsnow6417]

its all about how we finish!!! we finished strong...and...our best is yet to come!!! Go Hawks!!!

[@leonthach1006]

It felt like we gained a massive amount of momentum from that game. Everyone was playing really hard too which was nice to see.

[@seahawksfan7298]

Pete's so diplomatic and professional when asked about Jamal...what a great guy! To keep what's really going on IN-HOUSE, rather than make a comment that throws Adams under the bus and creates more drama; very classy.

[@spockb1186]

We gotta stay Confident, Consistent and Concentration

[@notbrandon]

Don't bench Lock, let him build on his momentum

[@trentwise3762]

locks momentum is just one game. The only games we lost that we were projected to win were the rams games. Outside that though every game we lost we were projected to lose. And games like the cowboys geno was the reason we were even close

[@Mysticrich485]

After 3 years Lock gets his first starts against two of the best teams in the league and he was the only reason you won Monday night if Geno played you lose that game heathy or not . He was horrible in the Bengals game and responsible for that loss then a home game vs a bad Washington team very lucky to win that game Geno was terrible again. After that game that's when Drew should have replaced him. Now Drew has two games under his belt and he's only going to get better and the competition gets weaker to finish the season making a change now is stupid don't be surprised if they lose to the Titans .

[@randyrenner7643]

​@@Mysticrich485just stop.

[@trentwise3762]

@@Mysticrich485 the only reason they won? Bruh he had 120 yard total until that final drive. We won’t cuz the defense. Lock got the game winner but by no means was the reason we won.

[@Mysticrich485]

Forget yards , yards means nothing get that through your head . Philly controlled the ball most of the game early time of possession was 15 minutes to 5 .. Is Lock suppose to complete passes from the bench ?. Two of the 1st drives started with 5 yard offensive penalties. Another series on 1st down started with a pitch in the back field that lost 4 yards. So everything was 2nd or 3rd and long and limited posession. In the 4th Love intercepts the pass in End Zone they came out and run on 1st down run on 2nd down and get nothing what is Lock suppose to do ? Lock gets only 1 chance on 3rd and long and it's an obvious passing downs created by horrible play calling . Lock don't call the plays.you have to let the QB throw on 1st down . Time of possession and number of plays heavily favored Philly. Lock had limited chances. The last drive throwing the football to win the game was the only option. add weather conditions 1 time out and 92 yards plus the pressure of the game Lock got to throw the ball and won the game it was a great performance, so shut up about yards stop being stupid it's not fantasy football.

[@fumis1631]

Let’s go!!! Just don’t get killed by Derrick Henry cuz last time he killed us… just shut down Henry and D’ Andre, and we should be good.

[@briano9397]

Pete was interviewed on Sirius XM channel 88 today and they brought up the 180 yards he put up last time while laughing and he was like "...thanks for that guys." I have hope he knows to shut that down hard to not get laughed at on international media again

[@user-bg8pd3ll9p]

Dude, you've played 3 LESS games than the teams in the sb last season, you should be DOMINATING this time of year,

[@randyrenner7643]

Honor Coach Carroll!🥰🌟

[@trentwise3762]

Let’s hope we aren’t at our best. Because if our best is a .500 record then I’m not excited about our playoff chances. I know what he’s trying to say but let’s win a few games in a row before saying we are good

[@codyhughes4472]

You can see Jamal is slower than he was early in the season. I see the change in the scheme last game. Hopefully we build off that. I didn’t mind seeing Mafe get lost a few times, or DK miss the block on the edge, good idea, poor plan to try and seal the edge around a pulling tackle, not his fault, but that will be so huge for the run game if he can make that block, then learn to release off it for receptions. We still Have so much room to grow

[@codyhughes4472]

I’d plan to see both qbs. If I were the titans I’d have an extensive package with both qbs on the field at the same time. Tannehill can run catch and throw.

[@Cody-ec3bt]

10-7

[@michaelcrowhorse-chavez6582]

COACH Much Better Work!!!. Defence Hungry all around. Lock well he stepped in did great in this one. No hints not that many penalties. I seen us winning after Dallas beat Phi last week. 4 in A Row. It's all Down Hill schedual. Let's continue how were playing even if teams have short records. Make a statment finish 10-7 !🙏✍💙💚🏈

Why in the world would you want a HC who purposefully threw his players under the bus and humiliates them publicly? That’s terrible for the locker room and overall vibe of the team, lol.

we at our very best winning 1 game 🤣 cmon man lol

[@cassavacooking]

It’s so sad to see how Some Seahawks fans are so dilution all of you speaking about geno smith the guy is not a winner he does not have it he never will….. it takes something more than that to be a good player he does not have that it factor he never did and never will and you guys keep speaking about a could have been or maybe this guy just always sets us up to fail! He makes you guys believe in something that he is not ….. who cares how strong of an arm he has many QB have good arms but no accuracy and throws int… this guy has given away the ball almost every game this year hasn’t run the offensive properly all year… and I want to hear what you so called expert most of you guys have never even played football in your lives and know nothing about what it really takes to be a winner it takes more that just talent it’s that will to be the best to win by all odds to not just make excuses and say the same thing all the time about doing better but actually doing better… I watched this guys tape all his nfl career he is no good he doesn’t have what it takes and you guys will be disappointed if we lose this game that so much of you are saying we are supposed to win because of all the advantages and injuries on the titans…… when geno throws ints and we lose because the offense isn’t moving I hope you guys will finally see the writing on the wall …. There is something called chemistry I don’t care how talented he might be if we gave him chances all season to try and he hasn’t and lock played less but got in done the last game then he should start….. like they say if you tried something and it hasn’t worked try something else…. Gino got his chance already what’s the worst thing that can happen lock plays bad you go back to geno at least you tried it doesn’t hurt…….

Cant wait till they get rid of the liabilities, Metcalf and Adams are dead weight. Once they do that the Seahawks can get to the next level.

[@theRooster722]

Metcalf is dead weight ? They don't win that Monday night game without Metcalf.

[@brucehawk09]

Consistently he is causing penalties, and he made "some" plays Monday night. But I dont see him as a marquee player the Seahawks need at the receiver position. So yes he is dead weight.

[@ShakeyJake206]

Get out of here with that nonsense. If a WR needs to go it's Tyler. It is time. Plus his cap hit is insane.

[@brucehawk09]

Tyler doesn't commit stupid penalties if he gets beat which he rarely does. Metcalf on the other hand acts like a crybaby when hes getting handled. Sorry if Metcalf is your hero but the dude needs to go.
