Seahawks are Superbowl bound /s
If you read the NFL.com article on why Dez Bryant isn't elite it is pretty compelling though. His route tree does seem somewhat limited and his footwork / nuances on routes are a bit rough. He's a great physical specimen but he's not a technician by any means. I think stories of his decline may be overstating it but I also do not consider him to be one of the top 5 wide receivers in the game. He has a pretty rough schedule against #1 cornerbacks this year so you can really see what you think. He did pretty much nothing this game until they ran a zone play where Peterson wasn't directly responsible for covering him - though the effort and physicality by Dez was obviously awesome
At least he doesn't have an ongoing romance with the kicking net
I'm not jumping off the bridge after 3 games. Not my first season. The Seahawks haven't played well yet but they usually start slow. Look how bad the Raiders looked Sunday night? Do you think they're that bad?Quote:

Youre implying the Redskins are bad defensively this season, or at least haven't improved since last season. They've only given up 1 more point to opposing teams than the Seahawks right now. 200 less yards of total offense than the Seahawks, and created 5 more turnovers than the seahawks.
I'm not saying the Redskins defense is as good as Seattle's, but I'm just comparing them against one of the consensus best defenses in the NFL through 3 weeks. Oakland also had to go across the country to play them and there. The Rams are not trash offensively or defensively and they played them close and won @ LA.
The Raiders need to figure themselves out on offense. Cooper has bricks for hands. His numbers have always been based off volume, not on how effective he is imo and everyone loves Cooper based off potential but the league is and always will be about "what have you done for me lately?".
Through 3 weeks the 49ers have given up the 4th most points but only 9 of those came from the Seahawks. That was a Seattle home game too.
I just think you don't have real expectations for Seattle. At this point they're a wildcard team at best.
@ Gypsy, this is from r/fantasy football
"I'm convinced that the Chiefs have a starter ceremony where they take what's left of their previous RB and have the new one just hover over their lifeless corpse like a dementor in Harry Potter and just suck his football essence until he's nothing but a lifeless husk that they turn and wheel out the back door never to be seen again. See: Larry Johnson, Jamaal Charles, Spencer Ware"
If the Seahawks are a wildcard team at best how are you going to explain it when they win the NFC West?
I could ramble on but just look at the division and look at Seattle. QB, coach and defense. It's 3 games. They're notorious for starting slow. They'll get it going.
Yeah I don't think SF has a shot at the division. Arizona is not a good team. Its between Seattle and LA imo, LA may be a little more complete all around (yet to see w Goff tho) but they are extremely young and Seattles been there done that
SEA probably wins the division by default because the NFC West blows, but they won't go anywhere come playoff time.
Hugh may be in denial about that, but the writing has been on the wall since last year and only Seahawks fans had much hope beyond that.
they're pretty painful to watch right now though, so I do hope they find some life
The classic "I could ramble on" instead of trying to provide any basis. Gonna laugh if they lose to coltsQuote:

So now you're actually doubting my ability to ramble on about my Seahawks. Wow.
Have we met? My name's Hugh.
Yeah the Giants suck ass this year.
Philly isn't exactly great though. I mean, our passing game was so anemic through the first 2 games and it suddenly woke up against the Eagles. They need to get healthy on the back end, and maybe that wont even be enough to stop the bleeding in some games.
I like a lot of what I see in Philadelphia football so far.
Except Sproles, Peters getting hurt every play, and the return game could be better.

Anyone think the giants win this week at tb?
If their offense was like it was Sunday, they have a chance
Nantz- As a kid from Wisconsin you must have dreamed about playing in Lambeaugh Field.
Romo- As a kid from Wisconsin I had lots of dreams. Most of them turned into nightmares in 2014 with the whole Catch/No Catch thing. But I’m over it, let’s just call the game.
Lol. Seriously, that’s great shit.
So the game is on weather delay and Chris Rose just introduced David Carr as ”Superbowl Champion David Carr.”
I mean I know he can’t introduce him as “Eli Manning’s backup” but let’s not be ridiculous.
I don't think that's weird. He was on the team for years it's not like he didn't contribute off the field in film study and whatnot.
If I was on a roster I'd claim tf out of a superbowl. Lol.
Everyone knows you don’t think of QBs as Super Bowl champs unless they actually won a Super Bowl, as in by playing. Do you think of Tavaris Jackson or Bubby Brister as Super Bowl champs? Hell no.
Fucking film study? Please.
Hugh is correct though, it's super silly.
I love announcer romo
I think of SB Champ Tavaris Jackson more than literally any other part of Tarvaris Jackson's career other than what teams he was on lol.
Well that makes two people.
You and Tavaris Jackson.
Hugh, has your power increased now that there is one less Hugh in the world?
because you're on fire tonight
And I haven’t said a fucking thing about Canada.
I just don't think of Tarvaris Jackson, but if I have to it's that he was the backup that won a superbowlQuote:

BTW Chicago's receiving corps is fucking awful. Sure Glennon's bad, but these guys can hardly get open and it isn't helping
Fuck that. Tarvaris Jackson > Dan Marino. At least Jackson won a super bowl.Quote:

Listening to Daryl Johnston call a football game is like eating bran flakes with non-fat milk.
Better than Cleveland! Fuck yeah!!
-_-
I'm not sure which announcer it is for the Bengals game, but he is a breath of fresh air in terms of actually having a brain when it comes to Burfict and all the penalties he gets that no other player in the NFL would get called for. He just had another call on reputation alone. There's no escaping it. Kind of sad actually since 99% of the time he plays great, clean football.
Shut your whore mouthQuote:

In the NFL it’s constant. Every game, usually more than once. How? Why? Not questionable or borderline either. Blatant. Players drilling other players right across their names.
It’s never really been addressed as a systemic problem and I’ve never heard a coach talk about it specifically. Someone should. I’d like to hear it.
Moose was a great fullback but he sucks as a commentator. He’s moist bread. Don’t act like you think he’s good just because he’s a Cowboy and you’ve got your hand down his pants.Quote:
