Dynamic? What? Perhaps it was more efficient when Russ was tasked to be a game manager, but it looked almost dire when he was throwing the intermediate to deep balls to anyone that had any sort of coverage near them. [Reply]

He didn't hit a single deep ball in stride. Every one of them was under thrown. [Reply]

As far as the fumbles...one of those were set up on a long 3rd down conversion where Mongo nearly beheaded a guy...even Buck mentioned it. So that was just football karma...
I believe one of those fumbles were on 4th down also...so it was inconsequential. It was a turnover on downs...he didn't break the goaline.
Seahawks failed on a 4th and inches inside the Donk 10...got zero points out of it. If you want to play the "what if" game...Hawks were driving and Metcalf lost a fumble.
Yep. To frame this as a “we were vastly superior but shot ourselves in the foot a million times” situation isn’t reality. This wasn’t Bengals-Steelers. Denver missed some opportunities but so did Seattle.
Like you said, one of those fumbles was irrelevant. It was a failed 4th down conversion. Seattle had their own failed conversion near the goal line on 4th and inches. Another Seattle drive that looked to be destined for a TD was disrupted by a holding call. And another promising drive ended with a fumble, giving Denver great field position.
Outside of some self-inflicted mistakes and a few plays by Chubb, Seattle did whatever they wanted offensively. [Reply]

He had a 340 yard passing game and wtheck does "almost dire" means? :-)
It'll be fine. We are much better going off of 1 game. [Reply]

How many of those were YAC? And the TD to Jeudy was a bad throw. He was lucky it wasn’t picked. Anyone who watched knew it was a weak 340. He was Alex Smith last night. Not a 50 mil, mortgage the future type of guy. [Reply]
