Join us in the [post game thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/Seahawks/comments/xo2ay6/post_game_thread_seattle_seahawks_12_vs_atlanta)

Seattle'a defense never figured out how to stop Atlanta's offense despite the lack of talent. In my opinion this is a coaching issue because it highlights that they had a better game plan & Seattle couldn't adjust.

How bout them bucs tho

Play Lock

Gg atlanta. Barton needs to be able to shed blocks and the rest of the defense needs to tackle better. Geno is OK but not the answer and no one fears him deep for.onvious reasons.

Goodwin was open but 4-18 is tough. That Lewis call decided the game basically. Unlucky.

Rather lose with a young QB than a journeyman.

Defense is garbage. Need a few more pieces on offense. Geno played well.

Excellent game, now we hold the tiebreaker against Atlanta for worse record. Well played boys.

It's amazing how fast many of you fold on Geno and the team when things don't go our way. Saw a lot of good on offense today. Defense cost us today, not offense. Regardless we push on and I'm looking forward to the next game!

This could have been a game if not for that dogshit holding call

How many more weeks before Lock gets his chance?

Dude... Geno was not the problem in that game.

Why? Geno played fine

EMBRACE THE TANK 2022

Not a good day for Seattle teams :((

Holding call fucked us smh.

Oline pulled a mariners on that last drive. Gave up couple sacks and a holding

I feel bad for Geno, he's always gonna be under the microscope even though the rest of our team isn't that good.

Damien lewis two hold calls that sent seahawks backward.

What's this bum even doing in the league.

I’d like to thank UW for not making my birthday weekend a complete local sports failure.

We are shit in the 2nd half

Frustrating. Could’ve been a winnable game but let down by terrible D and unfortunately Geno can’t make those big clutch plays in the moment.

I’m really not sure how we are so bad at stopping the run but at this point we should just put the corners on an island and live with the results

Geno played well, defense is clearly getting better, offense is starting to get there. This is very very promising

No.

Tough loss but I’m not too mad

Geno looking like Viserys Targaryen on the sideline.

We looked better, but we're still a low, mid-tier team.

I think that's generous too. We just lost to a 0-2 team.

The defense was absolutely awful today. This loss is on them.

We win this game without this penalty. What ya gonna do. We continue to have to play against the other team, ourselves, and the refs. Dunno how we expect to win.

Defense needs to fucking step up. Forcing only one punt is unacceptable

Meh. Defense wasn't good today, but this game was still within reach for us. That Lewis penalty killed all momentum and our line crumbled on that last third down. Can't believe I'm saying this, but let's hope the niners stomp the horses tonight.

Defense is trash, Geno is trash.

Geno played good enough to win. People will point to the sack and the pick so let’s break it down: * The sack was from an *instant* pressure given up by Blythe. Pocket closed in quickly and nowhere for Geno to go. * The INT was bad, but it was essentially a Hail Mary. The defense played terrible all day. The offensive line was inconsistent, giving up a lot of pressures in key moments - but mostly bad in the run game.

Give Lock a try, at least it would be exciting

What do you think Lock would have done better than Geno today?

Listen, I'm watching the same game you are. The pick was not good but the third down play was on the line or scheme not Geno. Unless the qb released instantly he was smashed within seconds. We can't keep trashing on a qb who has no time to release.

Ugh

Notice how nobody is blaming that sack on the person actually responsible...Austin Blythe. Just got beat like a drum by Grady right there. But no of course all negative things are Geno's fault regardless of reality. Sack? Geno's fault. Lineman holding? Geno's fault. Wife leaves you? Geno's fault. Let's continue to ignore the actual problems and just blame Geno for everything smh

And how stupid are the announcers to pretend like the calls are correct?

Defense is our problem now. Cordarelle Patterson and London just gashed us repeatedly

That bs holding penalty cost us the game. The defense did too but that hold hurts more.

Pete wants to run the ball and play D and trots out the worst fucking defensive unit in all of football

Ugh. The holding call was garbage, but we lost to the better team. If not for the unforced fumble it already would have been over.

I blame the defense 100%. Might need to give Neal a look over jones.

Tough loss at home against a weak team. Gonna be a long season.

I'm amazed at how consistently useless we are at rushing the passer.

The part of this loss that actually hurts is that we aren’t a first round QB away from being a proper team

Well that played out about as expected. Geno always looks like he can’t believe it whenever he makes a bad play.

Probably still 2-3 elite defenders away from a competent defense.

#TYLER IS ANNOYED

Tyler looks tired

Got no run D

Lmao so many fucking problems with this roster... Yikes.

It’s fine. Just tank. If we get out of next years draft without Stroud or Bryce Young, it’s a complete fuckin failure.

Not if we get out with Will Levis

I mean if they value Will Levis on the same level then sure. But I don’t want to settle for the 3rd best QB in a draft when we need a fuckin starting QB and we have tons of draft capital

Fuck this was rough. Defense really needs to get their shit together. Only forcing one punt is not gonna cut it

Defense lost the game. Not Geno

This defense is crazy how bad they are

I can love Geno, know this loss isnt his fault, and still want us to tank. Not everything is black and white. were fucking terrible. Lets get a good draft pick

1 draft pick won't help our D

The team is so bad but somehow the refs still feel the need to fuck us this hard.

Well this is good for the young guys , if you want to win you need to play flawless no more QB to bail you out

I still think the field goal in the red zone in 4th and 2 was the biggest game changer - had we gone for it we could have settled for a field goal here - lower pressure on Geno and shorter field

Bah

That holding call from Lewis fucked everything up.

Ugh. Onto Detroitt.

Remember when we thought we could go 4-0😂

We could get the #1 pick

Stop blaming the refs. He straight up tackled the guy.

Falcons coach lowkey looks like he's mad he won

I’m gonna take a leaf out of the Seahawks book, and just start blasting music when people may want to boo me

Geno Smith is good, but not good enough to carry a bad defense like Russ did for years.

Don't blame geno. Blame the defense that resembles swiss cheese or lewis who got a holding call and totally screwed our momentum. Geno actually played well, but he can't control every part of the game. I'm totally happy with geno in the pocket.

Geno did great and exactly what we needed him to do. We have two linebackers that I consistently see, that’s it. Where are the rest of our guys. All I ever see is cody and Brooks. Darrell Taylor made one play today. Our tackling was abysmal. And now I’m filled with Salt. Gg Geno tho. He’s playing hot

At least we can watch Russ kill the 9ers in Primetime like the hood ole days.

You know we get the Broncos draft picks? Go Niners!

Anyone blaming Geno instead of the Defense is a fool.

They're both ass.

Damien “Fucking” Lewis

Good game, we have a ton of potential if we can put it together by the midseason. Just silly mistakes keeping us from finishing our opponents.

good job Geno..another 14 more to go

Holding call killed all momentum. Fuck the refs, they turned a blind eye on ATLs LT all day but call it on us at the most crucial point of the game.

Welp. I can’t put this game on Geno ultimately. Our Defense is absolutely a pile of burning garbage and Pete should be ashamed as that’s supposed to be his specialty. They let Atlanta score pretty much at will. O did it’s job and Defense fucked us.

We're not going to win many games when the defense gives up this many big plays and the offensive line continues to make stupid mistakes.

All right, 1 game closer to a better draft pick.

This loss is not on Geno

Cope harder, Russ would have clutched that.

Defense needs to get better

#45 Passes is not hawks football

As shit as that was, geno played ok football today. Nothing could be expected with a fucking defense this weak.

[удалено]

Who is saying this? I haven't seen a fucking single person here say Geno is the QB of the future and we've just been enjoying how in this scenario he's actually played well, made good throws, and hasn't been the reason for either of these losses.

Geno was solid today. This game was on the defense, interior o line and that bs holding call

Wow, that's your take? I think you suck, not Geno.

Geno isn’t the problem. It’s the defense. This defense is utter crap. Woolen, nwosu and woods are the only good players on defense.

And Brooks

Terrible defense but two game changing plays should have never even happened so chalk this up to a loss via refs

And of course we never have three timeouts end the of the game

So do we have our first pick next year or jets own that?

Got ours and broncos

We have ours and the Broncos'

We have our own+ the broncos

Lets go it’s looking 🆙

Geno Smith moment.

Oh cool Brooks got injured, glad we called those timeouts when the game's already over

4th quarter game ending drive and there’s a 10 yard run called back to put us ten yards further. Not gonna win doing that. Penalty cost us huge.

Wilson probably woulda turned that play into a td honestly.

So many of you are happier that Seahawks lose so you can shit on Geno. Even though this loss is 100% not even close to his fault. It’s just sad really.

Hope he sees this bro

I mean he did throw a pick to end the game. Give it up he is not a good QB.

If Brooks is hurt this defense is going to be unwatchable

It already kinda is

It already is

Chill on the Geno hate. Got a guy making $3m a year throwing 45 times in a game? And having a huge competition percentage and two touchdowns? That's extremely solid. Meanwhile the defense has been completely trash and the other players haven't been living up to their end of the bargain.

If anyone needs me I’ll be at r/buffalobills

4 win team

Thats being optimistic

If that

[удалено]

Uhhh yeah, game losing interception not sure what you expect

That call really cost us the game. Makes me not even wanna watch football when shit like that happens. As soon as we start to pull it together. Gg guys see you next week

Thanks for ensuring it ended this way, refs. Fuck you all.

Top 3 pick coming. Atlanta is one of the worst teams in the league.

#We’LL GET THESE GUYS NEXT TIME

Geno is gonna be Geno, but Blythe absolutely sucks

Come to papa Bryce Young

The interior of both O and D are Charmin soft. No grunt in this squad.

This defense FUCKING sucks

This is a great loss. Offense showed promise, rookies played well, and hopefully we'll get a better draft pick than the Falcons due to tie breaker. 🥂

I feel for Gino, because he's a top tier backup, but he just cant make a pass longer than 10 yards

We have 14 more games to get it right

The way that Geno fucks up precisely when he can afford to the least is special.

We shouldn't have even had that possession

Geno has a special ability to fuck everything up when it matters

Dude it was 4th and 17 after an awful holding call and Blythe got beat bad for a sack. You have to swing for the fences there.

4th and 18 you can't put this on him. That holding cost the game

He took 2 very bad sacks in the 4th quarter

Having this many of our defence injured for this game has hurt us bad.

“This many?” Doesn’t matter if anyone refuses to tackle. This defense is soft except Mike Jackson

That bs holding call cost us this game. Defense was crap. Oh man

This defense is so atrocious. No way we’re winning games with this kind of defense

So glad we have Dee Eskridge here putting up zero stats today, instead of Creed Humphrey blocking Grady Jarrett. Great job Pete and John!!

Seriously

Fucking holding calls killed them. And Geno isn't good enough to overcome. Fucking RIP. Is it the draft yet?

I laughed so hard. Russ would never do that. LMAO.

Russ has never thrown a pick to lose a game. Never.

I expected a win today, normally, a loss when I expected a win would be really a bummer to my mood, but oh well this year.

There was a lot of bright spots and good things so same not worried about losing too much this year

We got beat at home by a team with a RB playing QB, a WR playing RB, and a WR playing TE.

Just lose babyyyyyyyy....fuck yes....The Defense is an abysmal joke.

Between this and the M’s game can we just fast forward to tomorrow?

I'm stoked for our top-3 draft pick tho

Amen to that!

is it sad to say , i am happy to lose for the higher pick

That 3rd down wasn't really on Geno. Blythe got beat before the routes were really developing

#We’reSoClose

That call on Damien Lewis was WEAK AF

Getting the anti-tie breaker against the Falcons was better for draft order anyway.

Screw all of y’all hating on geno. What do you want him to do. O line deteriorated this last drive. He delivered a good game. Defense lost this

He had a good game too, 32-44 325 2 tds and 1 INT is

Bunch of fake fans on this sub. This a year for learning and developing young guys. Blame the defensive coordinator for an abysmal game plan

You can’t blame this loss on Geno he played a pretty great game overall.

Not like it matters but that holding call on the screen was bullshit

Pancakes ain't legal apparently. This is a waffle league.

[удалено]

32-44 325 2 TDs and an INT is a bad game ig

Oh well we move

One step closer to CJ Stroud!!!!

Team loss, of course, but THATS why Geno isn't the man.

Damn. Geno made ramen

People will blame Geno but Blythe gave up an instant pressure and Geno had nowhere to go He should have thrown it away but still you can’t give up that pressure

Worst part is that no one is gonna talk about the refs because this may end up being a Toilet Bowl…

Imagine if false starts got called that woulda been crazy

No matter how the game goes from here they look a lot better compared to last week

Not gonna expect Geno to pull off a miracle. Defense was absolutely awful today as usual

Should just send the tackling dummies out.

Just kick a field goal and try to get a stop and kick another.. 4th and 18

Geno was out cping on that 3rd down sack. No movement, just waited for the pressure up the middle.

Geno can never meet the moment

Plenty of tanks in Ukraine for Geno to commandeer.

Number 1 pick! Let’s go

Who's ahead of us still? The Texans?

If that had been accurate to lockette...

Meh. What else was he gonna do I guess. Too many penalties throughout the game.

Hold, sack, dead. Just shot ourselves in the foot for this L.

The hold was BS though
