I put this up on reddit so might as well here too. A wee seasonal ditty I wrote...

You better watch out, you better not cry.
You better go shout and I'm telling you why, Marshawn Lynch is coming to town.

He knows when we're in trouble.
He knows when we're in s*it.
He knows our backs are all injured
Cos they took too many hits. Oh...

You better watch out, you better not cry.
You better go shout and I'm telling you why, Marshawn Lynch is coming to town.

Pete's making a list.
He's checking it twice.
We've no running backs and that is not nice.
Marshawn Lynch is coming to town.

He's got a bag of skittles.
They're mostly green and blue.
He's gonna smash the Niners,
And they won't know what to do! Oh...

You better watch out, you better not cry.
You better go shout and I'm telling you why, Marshawn Lynch is coming to town.

Russ is making a list.
He's checking it twice.
Sacked dozens of times,
And that is not nice.
Marshawn Lynch is coming to town.

His Beast Mode is all ready,
He won't pay any fines.
He'll score a touchdown despite and not,
Because of our O line. Oh...

You better watch out, you better not cry.
You better go shout and I'm telling you why, Marshawn Lynch is coming to town.

Schotty's making a list.
He's checking it twice.
We'll run it on first,
And we'll do it all night.
Marshawn Lynch is coming to town.
,
Some will say that he's not fit.
Some will say he's too old.
But nothing gets him going like
The sight of red and gold. Oh...

You better watch out, you better not cry.
You better go shout and I'm telling you why,
Marshawn Lynch is coming...
Marshawn Lynch is coming...
Marshawn Lynch is coming to town.

This could be painful, we can't stop them at all and the offence looks poor.

Looks like a trip to Philly is on the cards

al87987 · 30-12-2019 5:10am

What a turnaround on offence in this 2nd half. Wilson in a 2 minute drill now to win it, the way this season has gone I should never have written us off.

al87987 · 30-12-2019 5:40am

Wow what a crazy finish!

The delay of game on the 1 yd line at 2nd and goal with 22 seconds left was absolutely criminal. Even spike the ball again if you have to. Game was made for Lynch to score the winning TD.

I don't know how they didn't call holding on the 3rd down attempt and then so close on 4th down.

Encouraged by the 2nd half all the same but the defence was a shambles and only got the eventual stop needed with a generous penalty.

Already won in Philly this year so should be confident

Lets go Hawks!

thebostoncrab · 30-12-2019 5:40am

I dunno what hurts more, the time penalty costing Lynch a game winning TD, or the refs ignoring that blatant PI

TheDoctor · 30-12-2019 12:59pm

Ouch,

After 16 games one yard short of winning the division.

Strong chance we’ll be back playing them again in 13 days!

That was a different Seahawks and a different Eagles team

alchemist33 · 30-12-2019 4:27pm

Both teams are riven with injuries, so I think a very close one to call

TheDoctor · 30-12-2019 5:59pm

I’d still think we’re favourites for next Sunday night game

Looks like Kendricks is done for the season from last night, likely to get Diggs back though.

Eagles I would guess will have Ertz back

Well ertz has a fractured rib but you'd expect him to play.

TheDoctor · 06-01-2020 1:42am

Well I don’t think anyone predicted the Seahawks to be in the divisional round of the playoffs this season

Onto Green Bay!

Uncle Mclovin · 06-01-2020 1:46am

DK Metcalf is a ridiculous athlete. That is all.

alchemist33 · 07-01-2020 9:13pm

Luckily for me I booked time off work next week so I can stay up late on Sunday night, like an early Superbowl. I think the Packers have almost been as inconsistent as us and we have a very good chance. Somenody might even regain fitness in time!

TheDoctor · 07-01-2020 10:45pm

Put in the request for Monday morning off straight away once the game was over.

Packers are a weird team - they probably aren’t a 13-3 team, had a soft schedule.

49ers blew them out the door the weekend I was over for the regular season game against the Eagles.

Looks like it’s going to be cold but snow shouldn’t be an issue Sunday.

Assume it will be another heart attack finish.

As mentioned above hopefully we can get someone like Brown back

akenno · 10-01-2020 1:26pm

Happy Blue Friday everyone.

What are your predictions for Sunday?

The more the week has gone on the more confident I am getting. I know it will be difficult but if the hawks play their best game, they will be the best team on the field. A crucial part will be the hawks D Line not falling for any of Rodgers hard counts or late substitutions. They will have to be disciplined. On offence it will all be about keeping Wilson upright. I cant the running offence getting much look similar to last week so I hope Wilson will be given the ball and told to work his magic again.

thebostoncrab · 11-01-2020 12:27pm

I think it’s going be a tough game, and I dare say if we win that the following game would be easier regardless of the the opponent.

I think our defence against the running game will be the deciding factor. Greenbay haven’t called running plays regularly this season, if they keep that trend up on Sunday then we will win. If, however, they change and playing the running game more regularly then they’ll take it.

I feel our o-line doesn’t have anything against it that I’m worried about, and I can see us getting regular 1st downs since our style matches up very well. But as I say, if we see them run the ball we don’t have a hope.

adrian522 · 11-01-2020 3:42pm

Green Bay this season:

Pass attempts: 573
Run attempts: 411

So about a 60/40 split. Not sure why you think a pass heavy game plan would help Seattle, Seahawks secondary is a weakness at the moment.

alchemist33 · 11-01-2020 9:06pm

If we had out 2 best RBs, I'd be pretty confident. As it is, I don't think Homer and the legend will do enough to free up the passing game. But I think it's 50:50, and if we do win we'll be against a team we've already beaten once. It'll be close anyway. Whatever the outcome I'm feeling pretty good about this season and hopeful for the next.

TheDoctor · 12-01-2020 12:49am

49ers coasting to the NFC Championship game

TheDoctor · 12-01-2020 10:30am

Other side of the playoffs now blown wide open

al87987 · 13-01-2020 4:07am

Gutted.

Defense just not good enough for most of the game, never got a hold of Adams at all.

Think Green Bay were there to be taken and maybe with either of Penny/Carson the run game would have worked out but as it was we should have only let Wilson scramble for rushes and aired the ball out more. Looked the better team in the 2nd half.

Not enough lessons learned from last week. Lynch 12 carries for 26 yards after him and Homer going 19 yards off 17 carries last week.

No takeaways in the last 4 games either

alchemist33 · 13-01-2020 10:26am

Maybe not enough lessons learned from last YEAR

Its another missed opportunity, although with better injury luck we were as good as anybody else.

But I'm going to be optimistic for next year. We have cap space, 3 picks in the first 2 rounds, and improving players. The coming season is a great opportunity for the staff if they don't blow it.

Shedite27 · 13-01-2020 12:02pm

Need to make the most of Wilson, the lad's a born winner, would be a shame to not win another with him

akenno · 13-01-2020 6:00pm

So after the loss we must blame someone, question is who? Tre Flowers? Turner? Running game? Injuries? Defence? Refs? Carroll? All of the above? I kid.

I'm disappointed in the way the first half went. Wilson was off on a few throws, Hollister had a bad drop and the running game was pants. Defence gave up a lot to Jones and Adams. Graham had a few first down pick ups but that was it. Flowers was beat constantly. A big learning day for him just a pity it happens in the playoffs.

Wilson really got going in the second half. Lockett was back to his all time best. Even seeing him get chippy after big completions which he never does. It looked like the tide had changed. Packers were nervy. But just when you needed the defence to get a big stop they give up 3 third and longs in the last 2 possessions. One more stop there and Wilson has his chance. Turners drop on 2nd down was unforgivable and then compounded with the sack so they decided to punt.

Either way that's how the season ends. A lot further than expected. Next year with a lot of cap space and draft picks, they need to really go all out. First thing is first, win the division. In order to do that you need to be beating the 3 teams. We beat them all once but none of them twice. Offence is there, hopefully get a full season out of Dissly. Defence needs the work. Resign Clowney and find another stud pass rusher. There has to be pressure on the qb to succeed in this league.

I suppose all that is left is to enjoy the remaining 3 games (supporting the AFC champion) and then straight into the long postseason

TheDoctor · 13-01-2020 6:43pm

Echo alot of the above - weren't supposed to get this far this year! I saw 6-10 predictions before the season started and still disappointed not to go the NFC Championship game.

This off season will all be about the two lines, have plenty of cap and picks so see who comes back/comes in.

Hopefully injuries wont be as bad next year.

Shedite27 · 19-02-2020 11:26am

Greg Olsen signed for a year. Solid TE

TheDoctor · 31-03-2020 11:15pm

So a post on Facebook earlier

The first quarter of 2020 is like the first quarter of a Seahawks game.

TheDoctor · 23-04-2020 8:30pm

Cant wait to stay up tonight to watch us trade the first round pick. A yearly tradition!

Shedite27 · 24-04-2020 7:37am

No trade :eek:

Vudgie · 28-04-2020 12:46pm

Justin Britt and DJ Fluker gone

TheDoctor · 28-04-2020 2:09pm

11 million cap saved. Signing incoming!

Shedite27 · 28-04-2020 5:27pm

Nevermind

alchemist33 · 08-05-2020 10:31am

Schedule out. Doesnt look too bad

TheDoctor · 08-05-2020 11:40am

Byes a bit early! Hopefully means dont run out of steam down the stretch. Ending again with a game against the Niners.

4 6pm games, 4 late night games and 8 in the usual half 9 window - more spread out than previous years.

Pats and Cowboys in Seattle weeks 2 and 3 - some tasty ones to get going!

Cjs21 · 08-05-2020 6:45pm

Kind schedule, but the entire West looks to have the same type of difficulty.

Been thinking recently about the impact of having an empty stadium, No 12s. 16-0 :pac:

al87987 · 08-05-2020 6:45pm

Pretty soft schedule on paper, looks like an 11-5 year to me with the hardest games being the divisional ones.

Rams will bounce back, Cardinals should improve also and 49ers obviously strong, toughest division in football this year?

3 wildcards now!

akenno · 09-05-2020 3:58pm

A mini bye just before Thanksgiving is nice to counteract the early bye.

alchemist33 · 17-05-2020 11:01pm

If anyone's following the Dunbar armed robbery story, his lawyer now says he has statements from the 5 witnesses who fingered Dunbar saying he's innocent! There'll likely be twists and turns yet but maybe he can salvage something out of this.

OU812 · 11-08-2020 8:54pm

With the big 10 postponing their season until next year, this year’s NFL games could be in jeopardy.

alchemist33 · 11-08-2020 9:50pm

Would be a big pity as we're looking pretty well set up this year. I still think it'll happen though

TheDoctor · 13-09-2020 10:06pm

Very happy with that for a week 1 performance.

Unusually comfortable ending!

Shedite27 · 13-09-2020 11:00pm

Metcalf is gonna be a top 5 WR by the end of the season

alchemist33 · 13-09-2020 11:08pm

Adams is an absolute monster. Watching defense was enjoyable again

thebostoncrab · 13-09-2020 11:09pm

To quote a post from Reddit:

30/34. 319 yds. 4 TD's, 0 int. 145 Rating.

Russell.

****ing.

Wilson.

Going at it hard from the straight to finally get that MVP title.

TheDoctor · 21-09-2020 12:50am

And now for the first late game of the year!

thebostoncrab · 21-09-2020 2:56am

We really should we winning this game. Those silly penalties and the pick 6 are going to haunt the second half of the game.

thebostoncrab · 21-09-2020 4:05am

And that’s surely that. Two games, two fantastic performances. You really can’t get your hopes up after 2 games, but this feels like it could be our year.
