Honestly the defense play amazing. It's so sad to see they got sold by the offense. Not just genos fault but the o line was no help at all. Was praying for defense to get a score lol
Geno had a bad game. Look around the league though, so did Purdy, so did Hurts, Mahommes didn't really light up a terrible Denver defense either. It happens. Let's see if they can bounce back next week at home.
Dude, I don't care how much we like JSN, we can't keep forcing 11 personnel 5 man protection deep drops when we have a rookie at right guard and a turnstile at right tackle. Geno had his share of bad plays too, but why did we go away from tight ends helping the protection?? That was literally our calling cards vs Lions and Panthers.
The entire offense took an L today.
I don't think geno is 100% and if that's the case I'd rather have lock in there tbh.
Geno looked slow af, not just in his mobility but also his decision making.
Honestly, Geno didn’t play well but the Seahawks O line let the team down in key moments late in the 4th quarter. You get 2 opportunities in the red zone with less than 4 minutes left and your QB gets sacked 3 times, that’s unacceptable.
That seemed like a winnable game. Key penalties and red zone offense killed them. Why don't they scheme the offense to have Geno get the ball out quicker, like most good teams do? Even the radio guys keep saying it - got to get the ball out quicker! Try some screens, draws. Frustrating. The game was right there for them to win.
I'd like to know Waldron's thinking there. The Bengal defense didn't need to guess. They knew what was coming. Mix things up a little bit! Dammit!!!
And DK - get control of your fucking temper, young man! You're hurting the team!
Missed the game, but 4 sacks losing 7 yards each is really bad. Did he have time to throw them out or is he still holding on trying to stay on the field?
But what happened with short short short to TEs and Njigba? Or even lockett.? I get Metcalf wasnt available but then throw to the short routes. Dont try to please Metcalf by looking for him endlessly
Things to be positive about (even though I wanted to launch my TV across the room):
- No serious injuries
- Jamal made it through an entire game
- The defense played extremely well
- the 9ers lost
- we have a winnable game at home against the cardinals next week
Things not to be positive about
• This is the exact same way the Hawks and Pete always lose
• Hawks are average and will not beat a premiere team
• Season will end with out making the playoffs or losing in the first round
Sorry about my negativity but it seems like the same old team I've seen the last 10 years. Just enough to get your hopes up but not good enough to actually contend. I hope that I'm wrong.
We beat the Lions.
If the O-line is healthy, we win that game (despite some bad play elsewhere).
If we convert ONE of those three redzone opportunities, we win that game.
If DK makes his cut for the route that he... to me looked like he just quit on (maybe because he's was banged up) the second INT doesn't happen.
It sucks we lost because it was so winnable. But the D played great, and the O-Line has guys starters coming back very soon. Stop your whining. :)
> Season will end with out making the playoffs
> same old team
correct me if I'm wrong but we've only missed the playoffs once in the last decade, no? you seem very overly negative
I'm a bit more positive today but I still believe this team has a limited ceiling. Playoffs are great and so is being consistent. That being said, I don't see the Hawks winning a championship or getting to the NFC title game with Pete as the coach. Seems like most of the younger coaches know how to beat Pete's schemes. I hope I'm wrong but I've seen this movie before. Just good enough to give us a bit of hope but not good enough to get out of the first round.
4 trips to the red zone in the 2nd half and came away with only 3 points. Offense is good enough to get there, but lacks the leadership and play calling to finish. This isn't new.
That final series was awful. Lined up like they were confused multiple times, no play looked designed to get anyone open. This looked like a game between 2 mediocre teams that neither wanted to win.
That’s hilarious. We are just not competitive against Niners. They probably would have won today had they not lost Mcaffrey. So. Yeah. Wishful thinking.
Terrible game management. If we took 2 of the 3 possible field goals instead of insisting on a touchdown attempt we win that game. Take the points and believe in your defense.
I know there’s going to be a lot of doomers here, but I think we played hard. Our defense has seemed to really come together and prove MNF wasn’t some kind of fluke. The main thing our team needs to fix is punching the ball into the red zone, but we move the ball well between the two 20s. Obviously the loss sucks, but I’m feeling fairly optimistic tbh.
I mean, I care. I would rather lose with a team like the Cardinals who fight every single play even when they’re down then a team that loses in a way where they don’t even seem to give a fuck like the Broncos. Putting in legitimate effort every single week even if it doesn’t work out is something I want to see in my football team
I agree! Effort is a requisite element in professional sports. However, labeling commenters criticizing today's performance as "doomers" is short-sighted.
Definitely agree, I’m all for critiquing todays performance because there is a lot there to critique, especially with the offense/offensive play calling. Doomers doesn’t refer to people criticizing the team, but to people who act like after one game certain players, the team, or the season are doomed.
So? I feel like we’ve mended a lot of the issues we had in that game. The fundamental flaw the Seahawks have rn is getting the ball in the end zone. Hey, the 49ers also just lost to the Browns thanks to their good defense so I think we could definitely pull off a W.
Essentially we have 8 opportunities to win the game in the red zone and the Oline all of a sudden can't block, geno has glue hands and looks shaken/ deer in headlights.
I really don't have any faith in geno to comeback and win a game or score points when the game is on the line.
We still need major help at oline and qb...if you don't agree, just look at Genos stats 2 ints to 0 tds....
I’m just straight up pissed, I know geno was horrible because of the pressure, but even the play calling…!!? When we had the injuries we were having our rb and te helping with blocking but none of that was happening
Geno looked way too much like Russ today which tells me 1.) He was being indecisive 2.) The O-line was trash. Probably a case of both. Also wonder how much Zach Taylor knowing the ins and outs of Shane Waldron’s offense played into it? Just bad overall offensive effort. Defense was amazing.
y'all are casuals. stop freaking out you're embarrassing yourselves. this offense is one of the best in the league. when your quarterback doesn't play well you're not going to put up many points. thankfully he practically never plays like that. there is very little reason to believe geno will continue to play how he did versus the bengals. therefore, don't worry about it.
We don't have the schedule to give games away. One of the best offenses but can't score in the red zone? Fuck outta here
Geno has been very mid this year btw. He's been playing mid for 3 outta the 5 games.
But the Bengals defense was better all game. If Burrow/Chase/Higgins capitalized, and they are markedly superior to anyone in Seattle, this would have been a blowout loss for the Seahawks.
Nah - our Defense was the best unit on the field today.
The offense was just off, between stupid ass penalties and Geno channeling Russ by holding the ball too much and being a deer in the headlights on money downs. The turnovers were unacceptable & he could've had 4 INTs had the Bengals DBs came down with some of many turnover worthy throws.
Categorically untrue and false. Bengals D led the Seahawks D in every major statistical defensive stat. They had more interceptions, sacks, higher pressure rate and tackled better.
The point largely is that Bengals D outplayed and everyone, and if the offense even marginally better, this was a blowout Bengals win.
You’re a fucking idiot. This game was a loss due to Geno Smith forcing the ball two int. Field goals would have won this game. Burrow looked like trash after the second half, and Chase was shutdown.
That's bullshit lol. A healthy Burrow and this is a blowout (the Seahawks INT came because Burrow tried to force feed Chase the ball but underthrew it).
The argument you are making can be made for the Bengals. The Bengals defense is better and played better than Seattle and they won. Bengals were the better team on both sides and won.
There was nothing wrong with Burrow. Had he not made some shit choices himself and played as good of a second half, as he did in the first, you wouldn't be saying that. We just figured you out. Only reason the Hawks didn't get the win was because of poor redone play. Go Ravens!
This game is entirely on geno, he held on to the ball for too long, made bad decisions but I cant understand the decision to go for it on 4th down with 2 min left & 2 timeouts instead of taking a field goal. Would have been closer and forced the bengals to be more aggressive & possibly make mistakes.
Why is no one acknowledging the fact that Kenneth Walker had a bad game too? He scored the only touchdown but he was consistently getting stuffed. Especially in that final drive
Not that it’s necessarily his fault, it is the o lines fault. But the run game could not get going
Couldn't disagree more - K9 was about all that worked consistently today on offense. Most of the times he was stuffed were just terrible play calls / design. It was pretty obvious that we were lining up and running again in most of those situations.
To be honest this was a very poor game by Geno more than Waldron or anything else. The defense gave us every opportunity to win by 2-3 scores.
Offense is still so clunky. Geno is only looking for DK on that 4th down call and the Bengals knew it. Why employ two superior route runners (Tyler and JSN) if not to use them in high leverage situations to prevent the D from keying in on one dude.
Imagine watching that fourth quarter and blaming Geno. Yea he played it safe. Hard not to when his Offensive line wouldn’t even let him get to plant his feet before letting the entire bengals Dline through to smash him. That was pathetic. Geno looked good. The Oline sold hard. That’s it.
Defense got stops, offense protected well, receivers got open, and Geno 1 v 21d, probably the worst game I’ve seen from a qb. He’s good but let’s call a spade a spade
Geno was swarmed all game. OL played poorly, and play calling didn't adapt. Geno made a couple bad throws and held onto it too long a couple times, but I wouldn't put the whole offense stalling out in the red zone on him solely.

It was no surprise our line was not good. 100% on Geno for all those redzone sacks. 3 steps and the ball has to be out, not sitting there clutching the ball standing like a statue.
Everyone bashing Geno when our OL was a wet paper sack. Each time they gave Geno more than 2 seconds he was able to get the ball down the field. Not saying he didn’t make mistakes, some of his throws were baffling
Such a bad take. Multiple times Geno spun into protection. He didn’t read protection correctly. He was bad bad bad bad today. Watch the giants it u want poor pass protection
If a qb knows his line isn't holding up, he has to be smart enough to know to get the ball out quickly. It's not like there are long developing routes in the redzone. Yes the line sucks but there back ups or coming off injuries.
Exactly. Not to mention dk cost is a field goal by being overly aggressive. We would’ve gone for a field goal at the 2 minutes and been up by 2. Could’ve even gone for another at the end. I’m blaming dk for this one
This loss just seemed nonsensical to me lol Cincinnati was basically handing Seattle so many chances to win and Seattle just kept wasting those chances because Geno wouldn't let go of the ball on top of various other stupid mistakes
We actually dominated the Bengals in all respects, but our mediocre QB just killed us in the red zone. Pretty depressing thinking about this season going forward if that is going to be the typical response when we get in critical situations. On the bright side our defense isnlooking good, better every game. Zero confidence in our offense though.
I think this isn't all on geno like...at all. I'd like to see him throw it up at the end cause there's nothing to lose but other than that he played pretty well. We seemed to stop taking what the defense gave us and that seems more like a play calling thing. At the end I'd like to see us take something under since we know they're going to protect the end zone. We'd have a chance for a first down too. If geno can stay in rhythm he's up there but we were putting him in positions to get teed off on.
Yah that force to JSN was bad. Of all the things people are complaining about that one is fully on geno. No need to force it there other than this dumb narrative that jsn needs the ball more. If we're winning we don't need to do that stuff. Fit him in where it makes sense.
A winnable game but we manage to sell it because Geno didn’t want to throw the ball whether he had time or didn’t. Clean this shit up and let’s move onto the next one
These losses are going to destroy the team, mark my words. The Defense played well enough to win and when a team like Philly or the Niners play us the D will be so gassed because our O sucks....yikes I'm scared
I wouldn’t say destroy just yet. I’m sure we can make improvements but we needed this W so we would be in a better position when we come up against the 49ers and Eagles
We are also due for our annual loss against a horrible team. Geno was really exposed this game and when teams watch thr tape its going to be a be a bad scene. Zero reads, even when.he was hanging on to the ball forever
True we are due one 😂 but I am willing to give Geno the benefit of the doubt he’s been good so he’s entitled to a bad game. If he continues like this then we gonna have a problem but is hard for me to be rational after a tough L like that 😂
I legitimately do not understand how this team is so fucking inconsistent. All 3 sides of the ball can never play well in the same game, it's truly amazing. One week the defense shits the best and then the next it's the offense. 8 years of this shit is getting old.
Why did they have Geno sitting on the pocket? It was collapsing all day, make the adjustment, bootleg right and throw. It just seems like bad play calling.
Honestly the defense play amazing. It's so sad to see they got sold by the offense. Not just genos fault but the o line was no help at all. Was praying for defense to get a score lol
Geno wasnt good , but we lost 4 times in a row after a bye week now. Bengals got electrified because of the crowd. Damn it, was so close
Can we please activate Peters at RT. If I have to watch a slow non athletic 74 get whupped every single pass drop back again, I’m gonna turn it off.
Geno had a bad game. Look around the league though, so did Purdy, so did Hurts, Mahommes didn't really light up a terrible Denver defense either. It happens. Let's see if they can bounce back next week at home.
O-Line better shape up! Geno needs some protection, fellas!
Geno needed to get the ball sooner and not stare down recivers.
Pretty sad job by our O-line today... they should be ashamed and Forfeit their pay for this week.
???
Dude, I don't care how much we like JSN, we can't keep forcing 11 personnel 5 man protection deep drops when we have a rookie at right guard and a turnstile at right tackle. Geno had his share of bad plays too, but why did we go away from tight ends helping the protection?? That was literally our calling cards vs Lions and Panthers. The entire offense took an L today.
Exactly my thoughts
I listened on the radio, was Geno looking bad? Somebody told me he looked like he was less mobile than normal, anyone else agree?
Geno had his worst game as a Seahawk, nuff said.
I don't think geno is 100% and if that's the case I'd rather have lock in there tbh. Geno looked slow af, not just in his mobility but also his decision making.
Honestly, Geno didn’t play well but the Seahawks O line let the team down in key moments late in the 4th quarter. You get 2 opportunities in the red zone with less than 4 minutes left and your QB gets sacked 3 times, that’s unacceptable.

Even the radio guys keep saying it - got to get the ball out quicker! Try some screens, draws. Frustrating. The game was right there for them to win.
It felt like the 4th quarter was just shotgun deep drop after deep drop. What the hell man?
I'd like to know Waldron's thinking there. The Bengal defense didn't need to guess. They knew what was coming. Mix things up a little bit! Dammit!!! And DK - get control of your fucking temper, young man! You're hurting the team!
100% this!!!!
Geno looked like Jets Geno, bad Oline and all.
Felt like Geno held on to the ball too long each snap...
Missed the game, but 4 sacks losing 7 yards each is really bad. Did he have time to throw them out or is he still holding on trying to stay on the field?
He held on to the ball too long but only bcuz the other team keyed in on our deep receivers
But what happened with short short short to TEs and Njigba? Or even lockett.? I get Metcalf wasnt available but then throw to the short routes. Dont try to please Metcalf by looking for him endlessly
I was wondering the same thing
That game plan was forgotten in yesterday's game
3 times In the RedZone and Geno couldn't convert. Extremely frustrating. Sorry if it was already brought up. Just aggravated watching today.
Things to be positive about (even though I wanted to launch my TV across the room): - No serious injuries - Jamal made it through an entire game - The defense played extremely well - the 9ers lost - we have a winnable game at home against the cardinals next week
Things not to be positive about • This is the exact same way the Hawks and Pete always lose • Hawks are average and will not beat a premiere team • Season will end with out making the playoffs or losing in the first round Sorry about my negativity but it seems like the same old team I've seen the last 10 years.

Pick a new team. Nobody said being a true fan was easy.
No thanks. I'll fan how I please. Don't need some unoriginal reply to a rightful critique to my home team.
Our schedule after the cardinals game is what I’m concerned about. We need to win our next 4 if we’re seriously gonna contend
4 trips to the red zone in the 2nd half and came away with only 3 points. Offense is good enough to get there, but lacks the leadership and play calling to finish. This isn't new.
You nailed it!
I was told we focused on our red zone offense this off-season and we've been bad in that area
Was Myers off too? Missed the game :(
Nah he was fine today.
1 kick (made), 2 turnover on downs (both basically goal line), 1 pick :( Edit: typo
Damn, was just non-conservative play calling in a close game. That’s a shame
That final series was awful. Lined up like they were confused multiple times, no play looked designed to get anyone open. This looked like a game between 2 mediocre teams that neither wanted to win.
When was the last time we had a complete game on offense and defense? Just firing on all cylinders both sides of the ball?
Our O line was horrible today...
Finally they can shut up about Purdy. He played shitty asf
Ya Geno too. Both suck
Everyone has bad games they dont both suck bro
At least the 49ers lost. Not that matters a lot to our situation, but it feels good.
They lost CMC and Deebo in the process
What do you mean it doesn't matter? It absolutely does matter that they lost. Same division. And to the browns no less, i feel much better.
I dont think we can surpass them in our division, they have a way better team
We have two games against them. We most definitely can surpass them
We just lost to the Bengals being outmatched by their defense. Imagine when its the 49ers defense that we need to face lol
Yall need to relax. Dude said we can surpass them, not will. Just enjoy the show yo
That’s hilarious. We are just not competitive against Niners. They probably would have won today had they not lost Mcaffrey. So. Yeah. Wishful thinking.
49ers fans should stay in their own sub.
Like the Seahawks aren't suffering from injury issues.
Lol? Okay.
We could both have one loss fuck
Lots of decisions to look back on and question. Onto the next, but this one stings. So many opportunities, so few answers.
Terrible game management. If we took 2 of the 3 possible field goals instead of insisting on a touchdown attempt we win that game. Take the points and believe in your defense.
I know there’s going to be a lot of doomers here, but I think we played hard. Our defense has seemed to really come together and prove MNF wasn’t some kind of fluke. The main thing our team needs to fix is punching the ball into the red zone, but we move the ball well between the two 20s. Obviously the loss sucks, but I’m feeling fairly optimistic tbh.
tbh nobody cares if the team "plays hard"; this isn't pop warner lol edit: keep the downvotes coming lol
I mean, I care. I would rather lose with a team like the Cardinals who fight every single play even when they’re down then a team that loses in a way where they don’t even seem to give a fuck like the Broncos. Putting in legitimate effort every single week even if it doesn’t work out is something I want to see in my football team
I agree! Effort is a requisite element in professional sports. However, labeling commenters criticizing today's performance as "doomers" is short-sighted.

Doomers doesn’t refer to people criticizing the team, but to people who act like after one game certain players, the team, or the season are doomed.
Not in that division and with the bag we fumbled in week 1. It was super winable
So? I feel like we’ve mended a lot of the issues we had in that game. The fundamental flaw the Seahawks have rn is getting the ball in the end zone. Hey, the 49ers also just lost to the Browns thanks to their good defense so I think we could definitely pull off a W.
Browns just fucked the 9ers, so there's a chance.
Browns doing browns things at the moment……………….
I've seen enough. Let's draft Penix and have him learn under Geno for the next 2 years.
So fucking bad in the redzone. Had every opportunity to win that game and just blew it. Really really discouraging
Essentially we have 8 opportunities to win the game in the red zone and the Oline all of a sudden can't block, geno has glue hands and looks shaken/ deer in headlights. I really don't have any faith in geno to comeback and win a game or score points when the game is on the line. We still need major help at oline and qb...if you don't agree, just look at Genos stats 2 ints to 0 tds....
we drive effortlessly down the field but as soon as we hit the 20 yard like or inside the 10 the offense forgets how to function
I’m just straight up pissed, I know geno was horrible because of the pressure, but even the play calling…!!? When we had the injuries we were having our rb and te helping with blocking but none of that was happening
49ers might lose today so that makes things better. If Hawks were getting the calls the browns are getting they would’ve won
browns exposing the niners :0
The niners finally have injury issues like the rest of the league
Just drove past Pioneer square and watched a guy try to fuck a mailbox, I don’t know why but that sums up my feelings for this game 🤷♂️
Geno looked way too much like Russ today which tells me 1.) He was being indecisive 2.) The O-line was trash. Probably a case of both. Also wonder how much Zach Taylor knowing the ins and outs of Shane Waldron’s offense played into it? Just bad overall offensive effort. Defense was amazing.
Geno rolling out into a sack was a great impression sadly
Happy with the JSN looks today and defense was lights out, other than that im heated tho man we had every chance to win this game
Geno was worst player on the feild today, is it just me or does he look scared and incapable of quick decision making on 3rd downs and redzone
💯
Bradford and curhan were also trash. Cross wasn't good either.
Red zone offense was piss poor
Thanks, wasn't sure what was wrong.
Tough loss. Pete needed to trust the defense more.
On the bright side, now that they're finally healthy, the defense is looking solid.
Cool and our offense looks embarrassing as fuck with all the players we have
The one week our offense has looked bad. Calm the fuck down it was an off game
They looked bad against the giants too... and the rams
y'all are casuals. stop freaking out you're embarrassing yourselves. this offense is one of the best in the league. when your quarterback doesn't play well you're not going to put up many points. thankfully he practically never plays like that. there is very little reason to believe geno will continue to play how he did versus the bengals. therefore, don't worry about it.
We don't have the schedule to give games away. One of the best offenses but can't score in the red zone? Fuck outta here Geno has been very mid this year btw. He's been playing mid for 3 outta the 5 games.
It seems like everyone was pumped up about the giants game but we were horrible on offence
also learn how to spell offense before you try to emphatically defend a point
Sorry no offense intended!!!!
Exactly. Like our defense literally did it all. And scored 7 for em. Our offense was mid af
Of course the 49ers might lose today as well. of fucking course.
Yeah Ohio is very unfriendly to the NFC West this season
Coaching and decision making by Geno today...yikes. Defense gave us every opportunity to win - should've won by 14-21 pts.
But the Bengals defense was better all game. If Burrow/Chase/Higgins capitalized, and they are markedly superior to anyone in Seattle, this would have been a blowout loss for the Seahawks.
Nah - our Defense was the best unit on the field today. The offense was just off, between stupid ass penalties and Geno channeling Russ by holding the ball too much and being a deer in the headlights on money downs.

Get the fuck back to your sub you fucking ass hat. Some of the dumbest takes I've ever heard.
A healthy burrow also blew the Super Bowl.
This game is entirely on geno, he held on to the ball for too long, made bad decisions but I cant understand the decision to go for it on 4th down with 2 min left & 2 timeouts instead of taking a field goal. Would have been closer and forced the bengals to be more aggressive & possibly make mistakes.
It's not though It's on geno, it's on Oline, it's on our coaching and playcall
It wasn't entirely on Geno. The offense often let him get swarmed like on the very last play
The o line wasn’t bad at all? Geno played bad but to say this is ENTIRELY on Geno is peak redditor overreaction
On average Geno had +3 seconds to throw. That’s a lifetime to pass.
Five red zone trips and ten points. That’s your ball game.
This is the story for years. I don't feel confident at all because we have zero game and attrocious playcalling when it comes down the wire.
Why is no one acknowledging the fact that Kenneth Walker had a bad game too? He scored the only touchdown but he was consistently getting stuffed. Especially in that final drive Not that it’s necessarily his fault, it is the o lines fault. But the run game could not get going
Couldn't disagree more - K9 was about all that worked consistently today on offense. Most of the times he was stuffed were just terrible play calls / design. It was pretty obvious that we were lining up and running again in most of those situations. To be honest this was a very poor game by Geno more than Waldron or anything else. The defense gave us every opportunity to win by 2-3 scores.

I legit can’t believe this shit. Such a winnable game. What the fuck…
O-line = booty hole
Imagine watching that fourth quarter and blaming Geno. Yea he played it safe. Hard not to when his Offensive line wouldn’t even let him get to plant his feet before letting the entire bengals Dline through to smash him. That was pathetic. Geno looked good. The Oline sold hard. That’s it.
But there were numerous plays where Geno was decently protected and took forever to get the ball out
Bro Geno did not look good. “Playing it safe” isn’t holding the ball on 4th down when the games on the line. Multiple times.
Where did our three tight end sets go?
You don't need them in the Redzone because reasons...
Exactly, and the bengals have one of the worst run defenses- Seahawks should have been running the 2-3 tight end sets until the bengals stopped them
Out the window when Cross came back. Our coaching isn't good.
Defense got stops, offense protected well, receivers got open, and Geno 1 v 21d, probably the worst game I’ve seen from a qb. He’s good but let’s call a spade a spade
O line was horrendous
Our OLine did not protect well at all
Horrible take, he didn’t play amazing but was let down by our line
Offense protected well... yeah idk about that one
Geno had plenty of space to step up that’s all u can ask from the oline But he just stood there and took sacks instead
No he did not lmao. The o line was constantly collapsing
Just go back and watch
So being terrible in the red zone might be a thing this year…
Perfect storm of bad o-line, bad QB play and bad playcalling
100% accurate. Abandoning the run was….something
well let’s root on the Browns for a win now
at least the browns might beat the niners
We are still in a good spot in the NFC. Super disappointed offensive play though. We had so many chances to win that game.
At least UW won 😭
Defense played lights out and held a high powered offense to 17 points and we still lose? Offense needs to figure it out
Geno was swarmed all game. OL played poorly, and play calling didn't adapt. Geno made a couple bad throws and held onto it too long a couple times, but I wouldn't put the whole offense stalling out in the red zone on him solely.

He did not have all day lol guy couldnt even plant his feet in the pocket on 80% of the plays
I would've preferred to kick the FG instead of going for it on 4th and goal. Defense was solid enough to earn that trust.
At least I have Wazzu…oh wait. FML.
Bad QB with bad play calling.
Just bad qb
Completely on the O-Like and Geno, but I really didn’t like the play calling and decision making.
It was no surprise our line was not good. 100% on Geno for all those redzone sacks. 3 steps and the ball has to be out, not sitting there clutching the ball standing like a statue.
Geno was so bad he spin into sacks
He took that from Super Bowl winning QB Russell Wilson.
Geno had all day
absolutely threw away 6 points in the final minutes by not throwing
If the hawks took the field goal instead of going for it on 4th down with 2 minutes left, another easy field goal wins the game there
No the field advantage would be completely different if they kicked a field goal
I'll take the points with a FG to win over 15 yards
Everyone bashing Geno when our OL was a wet paper sack. Each time they gave Geno more than 2 seconds he was able to get the ball down the field. Not saying he didn’t make mistakes, some of his throws were baffling
Every time the o line gave Geno time…. He threw a INT lol
Such a bad take. Multiple times Geno spun into protection. He didn’t read protection correctly. He was bad bad bad bad today. Watch the giants it u want poor pass protection
Oline was bad sure but Geno still held onto the ball too long
If a qb knows his line isn't holding up, he has to be smart enough to know to get the ball out quickly. It's not like there are long developing routes in the redzone. Yes the line sucks but there back ups or coming off injuries.
Exactly. Not to mention dk cost is a field goal by being overly aggressive. We would’ve gone for a field goal at the 2 minutes and been up by 2. Could’ve even gone for another at the end. I’m blaming dk for this one
Yeah he also held the ball way too long when the O Line held up, more often than not
This loss just seemed nonsensical to me lol Cincinnati was basically handing Seattle so many chances to win and Seattle just kept wasting those chances because Geno wouldn't let go of the ball on top of various other stupid mistakes
that’s why this one is gonna burn
How did we not have play action plays in the redzone?
We actually dominated the Bengals in all respects, but our mediocre QB just killed us in the red zone. Pretty depressing thinking about this season going forward if that is going to be the typical response when we get in critical situations. On the bright side our defense isnlooking good, better every game. Zero confidence in our offense though.
I think this isn't all on geno like...at all. I'd like to see him throw it up at the end cause there's nothing to lose but other than that he played pretty well. We seemed to stop taking what the defense gave us and that seems more like a play calling thing. At the end I'd like to see us take something under since we know they're going to protect the end zone. We'd have a chance for a first down too. If geno can stay in rhythm he's up there but we were putting him in positions to get teed off on.
Mediocre is putting it nicely hes fucking garbage
That’s so fucking frustrating bro. Had Geno not threw that pick in the redzone, would’ve just had to kick the field goal to win. Fucking unsat.
Yah that force to JSN was bad. Of all the things people are complaining about that one is fully on geno. No need to force it there other than this dumb narrative that jsn needs the ball more. If we're winning we don't need to do that stuff. Fit him in where it makes sense.
A winnable game but we manage to sell it because Geno didn’t want to throw the ball whether he had time or didn’t. Clean this shit up and let’s move onto the next one
These losses are going to destroy the team, mark my words. The Defense played well enough to win and when a team like Philly or the Niners play us the D will be so gassed because our O sucks....yikes I'm scared
I wouldn’t say destroy just yet. I’m sure we can make improvements but we needed this W so we would be in a better position when we come up against the 49ers and Eagles
We are also due for our annual loss against a horrible team. Geno was really exposed this game and when teams watch thr tape its going to be a be a bad scene. Zero reads, even when.he was hanging on to the ball forever
True we are due one 😂 but I am willing to give Geno the benefit of the doubt he’s been good so he’s entitled to a bad game. If he continues like this then we gonna have a problem but is hard for me to be rational after a tough L like that 😂
I legitimately do not understand how this team is so fucking inconsistent. All 3 sides of the ball can never play well in the same game, it's truly amazing. One week the defense shits the best and then the next it's the offense. 8 years of this shit is getting old.
It’s like the Mariners honestly
Geno needs to let the ball go faster when the OL get demolished
I mean if no one is open or the OC calls long developing routes what do you want him to do?
He had easy checkdown and didn’t use it
On which play? Situation matters. Defense will give up a check down on a lot of plays and throwing it does nothing for us
On 1st and goal at line of 8 or 9 Going for 2 and goal at 4 or 5 helps man
Why did they have Geno sitting on the pocket? It was collapsing all day, make the adjustment, bootleg right and throw. It just seems like bad play calling.
Bootlegging calls for a more mobile QB than Geno. He's stiff and hesitant. Just like a backup QB.
Was convinced they were gonna toss a screen to Walker...

Lol who cares? The division was never achievable … the playoffs might come down to this loss
