imgonnawin Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 1 and 3 on the 3 and calls another pass play ala last week and this time Wilson throws a pick 6. Lynch must be fuming. I am because that's two weeks in a row I had good matchups for beast mode and got meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemingd Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 A pick 6, as in 6 yards. 1st and 3 at TB 3R.Wilson pass short middle intended for D.Baldwin INTERCEPTED by K.Tandy at TB 0. K.Tandy to TB 6 for 6 yards (Z.Miller; J.Sweezy). PENALTY on SEA-R.Wilson, Face Mask (15 Yards), 15 yards, enforced at TB 6. Oh, and yes, what in the world was he THINKING trying to emulate last week's atrocity: 3rd and 2 at STL 2(Shotgun) R.Wilson pass short left to G.Tate for 2 yards, TOUCHDOWN. This just in: coaches just want to score, and don't give one crap if it fits your fantasy needs or not. This also just in: I had Tate, opponent had Lynch, and was loving it last week. Was that you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougsul Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 It is silly when you have first a and goal at the three yard line and run a QB boot leg two plays in a row. First of all Lynch is a much better goal line runner than Wilson. Second why risk a 325 line falling on your franchise QB. They were stupid play calls regardless if the coaches care about fantasy football or not. Seattle for whatever reason tries to get cute inside the five yards line. Playoff time I guarantee Lynch will be getting the goal line carries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably more on Wilson making the wrong split second decision to keep it and not so much the O-coordinator getting cute; they run that play a lot (Wilson scored a TD on it yesterday). Yesterday they threw it on 1st and goal and it's a bit questionable in hindsight because it was an INT. Alas, I'm pretty sure that Marshawn will be getting the rock more in future weeks inside the 5, but this is probably a bigger deal to Lynch owners in fantasy football than anything else.

Exactly, if it starts costing the Seahawks games they will address it. I talked to another Seahawk fan online who was complaining about the play calling of Bevell. And I said Carroll doesn't appear to be the kind of of guy to stand by and watch his team get mismanaged by his OC. He said that Carroll did talk to Bevell, and Lynch had a bunch more carries this week than in STL. But he also said that Bevell likes to get too cute in the redzone.

Tripleshot Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Just heard an interview on the radio driving home from Seaside this afternoon. Here's what Bevel saw and why he called that play on first and goal at the three. They saw the Bucs all playing a picket fence defense, with the safeties playing up where the linebackers normally do and no third layer of defense guarding the back of the endzone. So the call was for Baldwin to fake like he was blocking, then release to the back of the endzone where he was wide open, but Wilson short-armed the pass and it got picked.

Seahawks21 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Yes, he is getting killed. Three weeks in a row with first and goal inside the three and Lynch has zero touches. Crowd was chanting for the Beast this time. I'm thinking Bevell learned his lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawks21 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Remind me again who won those three games? Really? You're bragging about that? Beating the Cardinals, two yards away from losing to the Rams with Kellen Clemens, and needing the biggest comeback in franchise history to beat an 0-7 team, at home, shouldn't make you feel good about your team. You've got one of the best 3 RB's in the game. If you give him the ball from the three, four plays in row, he scores more than 95 out of 100. And to do it three weeks in a row? And you're supposed to be a big, bad, physical football team? Feed the damn Beast. If you can't run the ball, that is one thing, but there is zero reason to get cute. You've got Marshawn freaking Lynch on your team. He's right there. That big, mean, horse looking dude. Can't miss him.

Also know you've been a regular hear for a long time, I was a lurker long before I joined and remember the wonderful threads about the PIT-SEA SB. We all like the Slip Report, especially after a gut wrenching loss. I think the point some are making (and why we think you're coming from a fantasy angle) is the Seahawks did win those games. I don't believe Carroll is going to sit there and let his OC do things he thinks are dumb and risk them losing. So either things will change, or he doesn't feel they need to. Until they start losing I'm not sure why Seahawk fans are making such a big deal. Trust your people running the team, Carroll has turned them around and built a contender.

Bobby Brown Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I'm fairly positive that Lynch gets more work in the upcoming weeks as the Hawks replacement O-line is more adapt at run blocking than pass protection; and Wilson has taken a beating the last two games. As far as not utilizing Lynch more in the red zone; it's a worthy criticism; but it's been completely overblown by FF players, Seahawks fans, and Seattle sports radio. The "cute" scheming has produced a lot more TDs and positive plays over the course of the last 16 games than vice versa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, fine, I'll never question another coaching decision in the entire future of the NFL. They all know better than me, right? They're the ones that earned the coaching gigs. I'm just saying, they hand the ball off there, they score. In a VERY crucial part of that game. They've gotten cute too often lately and it came back to burn them and it very easily could have cost them the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course if the following would have happened last week with a different bounce of the ball twist: Lynch, who has already had trouble holding onto the football in the playoff so far, appeared to fumble on his way to the end zone. Luckily for him and Seattle, the ball popped immediately into a Seahawks lineman’s hands as he carried it in for the score. then everyone would be calling Seattle sports radio and complaining how Bevell wasn't running the read option or just leaving it in Wilson's hands for a pass. http://www.sportsgri...oalline-fumble/ I understand the need to utilize Lynch more in these situations. I really do. But the way the Hawks have been scoring with a multiple pronged attack has left them at 15-2 in their last 17 regular season games. 15-2.

And in just about every one of those games, they gave the ball to Lynch when they found themselves inside the 5 and he almost always got into the end zone. I honestly can't believe I'm saying they need to hand the ball to Marshawn freaking Lynch on first and goal from the three, after not doing so just about cost us a game against a winless team, and I'm getting guff about it.

There were a lot of things that almost costs the Hawks the games. Including questionable run defense and one of the worst pass interference calls I've ever seen against an Earl Thomas INT that ultimately ended up with a Bucs TD. Yet, at one point midway through the 3rd quarter down by 17, Russel Wilson made a "cute" play by running a TD on a read option. No one, absolutely no-one is complaining about that play, because it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Anyone wonder if Marshawn's knee had anything to do with it? There hasn't been a lot of talk about it, but I wonder just how healthy he was starting at the Rams game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
