thanks as it will be first game my buddy has ever been to at Qwest and it going to be a blast and to see a young bright QB in Stafford as he just might be right choice that Detroit made in QB.

I believe this is the right place for your venting brother. A man shouldnt hold that sh*t in, otherwise it’ll juss eatcha up!!

Audible-

I also see what you’r e saying about Mora, that has irked me watching the last few press conf.’s. I think good leaders earn respect by leading by example. Some of his decisions (the like Mare thing) have lost him credibility. I didnt always agree with Holmgren’s playcalling, but that man has massive credibility and the trust f his players….I digress…

I totally agree. Don’t give me zone blocking, give me in your face, smash mouth football. Give me pulling guard Hutch, and the attitude that came with it.

That ’05 line had scary talent, but they also had an attitude. They would not be denied. We need that kind of line in front of the Dan D and JL type of RB.

In order to have that, this coaching staff will need replacing…which is likely 2-3 years away. Bummer..

As a fan from day 1, I can say I’ve cheered some pretty dismal teams. I even sat thru every minute of the game we set the still held record for total offense of -7 yards.

Zorn, Largent, Brown, Jacob, ….and…and…so many more thru the years.

I’ve had the sheer joy, to cheer every member of the ring of honor, and I don’t take for granted how special it is to have a player like that. Now, our team is struggling big time, but that doesn’t mean that I have less confidence in Matt to lead the offense thru. I’m more pissed at the defense for not living up to their talk, which leads me to TJ

As I mentioned, I watched Largent’s whole career, and Housh can’t hold a candle to him. Steve didn’t talk, except to give credit to someone else. All he did was catch everything within arm’s reach, usually with a DB spinning five yards behind. If TJ NEVER dropped a pass, even if he had to jump, dive, twist, battle, tip the ref, whatever…..then….just maybe….he could bitch to the camera and have point. Case closed.

I still think we have great talent at the skill positions on offense, we just need to give more time for the OL to stabilize. Bet we’re clickin’ before the year is out. I’d trade our whole backfield for Dan Dornick and JL Williams. As for special teams, I want a Rusty Tillman type guy. Now that I think about it, mabye he should be in the ring of honor too ~

Thanks for letting me vent….
GO SEAHAWKS!!!

GO HAWKS!!!

I agree that the team isn’t performing well (no consistency on offense, looks like crap half the time) but I still think they can come together to a certain extent and put together a decent showing for the rest of the season..

However, at the time… I was very supportive of the hiring just for the simple fact that he was younger, new, and was going to bring about the enthusiastic change that some of our players may have needed (Holmy was continually blasted on this blog for being too passive with respect to weeks off during the bye, training camps that weren’t hard enough, etc.). I thought he had learned from his Atlanta mistakes and wouldn’t do anything dumb again (like blame Mare for the Chicago game). His first year track record was also impressive in Atlanta and I liked that for our ’09 season.

I am also on record many times stating that Mora was NOT better for ’10 than Holmy. Holmy is the better coach. Period. But for a year, sometimes change is needed and I really thought Mora would do well.

Audible – I know what you’re saying about the “scripted” thing though… I can’t write it any better. He talks about being tough, but seems to tiptoe around antics like the TJ crap. It’s like he’s the bully (to Mare) who is afraid to stand up to anyone (TJ) if he thinks they may get back in their face. I did believe Mora at his inagural press conference though when he talked about the pass rush improving because of the “passion” that was going to be involved. Basically, a bunch of BS that sounded good. Our rush still sucks. The consistent pressure is lacking. And it’s the same old crap.
