But you liked committing more to the offense than the defense in the off-season.

I did and it was the right call. Their offense has been elite. Still rolling today with a bunch of key guys out.

Even with a lack of talent, no NFL defense should be this awful. The Seahawks have not been lighting anybody up. They didn't have 48 points through three GAMES.

It'd be one thing for the Bills to come in and gash them up and down the field. It's another for the fukking Seahawks to do it with a Tecmo Bowl playbook.

They fired Lynn midway through last season. Glenn has to get the axe after the game.

I can't believe this is the guy they were talking about losing to a head coaching job last year.

Just go full defense in the offseason. Linebackers are awful

I think this is beyond just talent. They appear to be consistently at the most wrong position possible at every opportunity. That's not just a talent deficiency. There's no creativity and the opposition knows exactly what's coming and when it is.

Seahawks played the broncos and 49ers and the falcons. 2 of those teams are top 10 defenses and geno smith lit up the falcons too. Today they playing a team just as bad as them. They had the perfect game plan against the lions blitz. They get paid to play football too.

Just fukking pathetic

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

there isn’t a single guy out there that is a quality NFL starter on defense with Walker out

MAYBE Okudah . Rodriguez looks like he can develop into one
Glenn may or may not be shyt but the talent level over there on that end isn’t great to put it mildly

Yeah, it's Glenn's job to adjust. They were out of position and going the wrong way all game.

 

[IrateMastermind]

Welp. Both teams played hard can only take you so far. Injuries or not, 48 points is too much to give up. The loss of walker might count for 7 and that’s all.

Glenn star died quick. Don’t see point in firing him though. Ben Johnson still looks amazing. Offense didn’t miss a beat

Lions are void of talent in defensive front but it shouldn’t be this bad. They can’t generate any pressure without blitzing but keep getting burned by it. Need to just keep it vanilla until they get some talent on field. Julian Okwara is a bust, completely invisible

Linebackers can’t get sideline to sideline. Seattle TE had field day. Bootlegged over and over all game. Lions haven’t had a linebackers that could cover a soul since Levy

Hutchinson getting Myles Garrett level double teams as a rookie. He already look wore out

Owuriyah losing money every week. Terrible this year

No clue of when or if Pascal, Levi, romeo are even coming back. Levis back might be permanently fukked. Okwara coming off achillies, and pascal just a rookie. So defense probably not getting much better

Looking like another top 10 pick year unless they cam just outscore a bunch of teams when Swift, Brown, Williams are good

 

[eastside313]

Yeah, it's Glenn's job to adjust. They were out of position and going the wrong way all game.

How much adjusting he gonna do when he adjusting subpar players. And the Seahawks are allowed to adjust also as they did on the 2nd td run. They showed the same formation but called a trap play with pulling lineman the 2nd time.

the team had a terrible defense last year. You scream offense offense offense all off season. Then the defense is terrible again and you say fire the coordinator.

You cannot fix the entire team in two years.


Sounds crazy to say but geno smith played an excellent game.

 

[the next guy]

You guys keep blowing the first half. Ground and pound and get the TE's involved in the game.

 

[eastside313]

If the dline is not getting to the qb without the blitz this defense is toast. They don’t have the players.

Look like to me they came into the season hoping they could get pressure from the front 4 and owariure would be able to hold his own and they would be able to roll coverage to the other corners. Well he stinks and today the took the training wheels off okudah and well you see how that worked out.

 

[Methodical]

We ain't going nowhere if our defense can't stop other teams from scoring, we're one of the top 3 scoring teams in the league, In the entire league But that don't mean shyt if we can't stop the other team from scoring!

 

[Methodical]

We do need a young QB but Goff is playing good, and I think we can win with him, but if he doesn't get no help on defense , what's the point. We need to get better on defense. I don't think we need to get that young QB yet we gotta start drafting Game changing defensive players bro!
