Watching the game a second time (minus the fucking first quarter of course) and I was impressed by a lot of the heads up plays, especially on 3rd downs.

One of the passes to Dunbar basically had Witten directing him where to go and he delivered a perfect open field block on his guy.

Granted, I do think the Seahawks missed both Wagner and Maxwell, but we just were so prepared and executed very well.

Also think that Martin is a catalyst on the OL in developing that personality. He was the one guy fired up after each TD the most. Kid is only going to get better.

Forgot about the fight at the end of the first half. They weren't taking any shit.

That was one of my favorite plays, it was pretty awesome seeing Witten shepherd Dunbar like that.

Yeah, I am getting fucking obnoxious.

Warned you all. Haven't homered out like this in forever.

The Seahawks got jobbed on a few ticky tack calls. Rare you get that kind of favor on the road, but since we were playing tougher, maybe that got us some credit.

This seemed like a good idea at the time.

As much as people talk about the Seahawks D, they are not nearly as aggressive when their offense is not clicking on the ground. They just played a lot of ultra loose zone and allowed an amazing number of third and long conversions.

I guess the same applies to us...more evidence how important the run game is about establishing tempo and personality.

That has been one of the most amazing things about the year so far other teams are getting those calls and not us.

Also, the number of long scoring drives we have had, we have to be leading the NFL.

Pretty crazy how much better our pass rush looked as well. Of course that may have something to do with our O-line being the best in the NFL.

It is not good, I would describe it as pesky. A lot of hand action and battling. They are giving max effort, but they aren't that talented.
