The Seahawks don’t scare me too much tbh. Sure they are a good team, but the defense is awful. I think our offense would score 70 on them.

Russ is always to be respected, but I bet we could let them run up and down the field on us and then hold them to some field goals.

I feel bad for Dak who I think is a good guy, but Dak should fire his greedy agent. Jerry wasn’t low balling him. When you have generational wealth on the table, you take it.
Injuries like this gonna shift some of the negotiating power from the players to the teams the more guys see this and don’t want to play with fire.

Dak will be fine-ish financially. Don’t think this will cost him much if any next offseason.


But a guy like Aaron Jones, if there is a fair-ish offer on the table, that all of a sudden looks more tempting.
Very good points. I always felt dak was playing with Fire bc he wanted Mahommes money, and he’s obviously not mahommes. He’s a top 10 qb, that has tremendous weapons around him. He wanted top 3 money. I feel like the cowboys were giving him very fair offers.

Hate it for him that he didn’t take the money when he could.

I agree in a violent game like football...if you have life changing money offered, you may just want to grab it.
yeah but the tag for QBs at 26 million is life changing money.

More thinking about seeding since the #1 seed is SUCH an advantage in the new playoff scenarios. It's not about avoiding playing them as much as getting that first round bye, especially after an early regular season bye.

A Seahawks loss--especially to a common opponent--helps a lot in a season when we don't play them ourselves.

It's a bit early to think in terms of seeding, but it's also pretty clear that at present, the Packers and Seahawks are the favorites to be the class of the NFC

Yeah I think it’s a tad early to start pulling for division opponents to win, but I def get the overall seed argument.

Side note: I’ve never seen Russ Wilson take so many sacks/hits as he has this first half.

3 wild card slots means a .500 club has a good chance of making it.
I'm not sure the math on that works out. The low-win-percentage playoff teams usually come from division winners. I doubt that are many years where a 7th seed would have been worse than 9-7
Last year the Steelers would have been in at 8-8. The vike would have been in the year before at 8-7-1. Would have made it at 8-8.
5 out of the 20 7th seeds would have been 8-8 teams the last 10 years.

Russ has always taken a ton of sacks. It's something pretty overlooked about his game. He'd taken 11 sacks in 4 games this season, even.

Though 3 in the first half was pretty bad. He seems a bit lost, which is shocking considering the defense.

Wilson has taken 40+ sacks for seven consecutive years. Rodgers has only taken 40+ sacks 4 times in his longer career. And it's not like Rodgers is the model of sack avoidance.

Mobile QBs often take more sacks because they attempt more scrambles, and often don't make it back to the l.o.s.

We should be able to handle our division. But SEA on the other hand, this is a common game opponent and conference opponent.

Beat MN at Lambeau and we have all but eliminated them. A win over SEA tonight would help us in that tie breaker too.

But this game is over. You always know SEA is going to have their surge and they are in it.

About the most embarrassing 1:53 minutes of football I’ve seen in many years there by the Vikings.

Honestly Jefferson didn't help Cousins much there. He could have dropped that route down the field another 5 years to make an easy completion. He stayed too close to Wright.

This is the most stereotypical Seahawks game I've ever seen.

Russ is way to good to blitz him twice on those 4th downs. Not impressed Zimmer.

The Seahawks have AZ twice, SF, and at BUF and LA the next 5 games.

Was hoping MN could take one away last night. But they have many more games coming up that will be tough outs for them.

I agree with Yoho, during a year when we have a week 5 bye.....that playoff bye is really, really important to us.

Seattle really needs to drop a few games upcoming. I was rooting for MN because the NFC West does play each other which is nice, but their divisions they play are possibly the worst divisions in football vs NFC East and AFC East. So after this 5 game stretch, the hawks have a cupcake schedule outside their divion with games vs the Jets, Giants, Washington, etc.

Yesterday was big though from the Packers vs. 49ers perspective.

Both teams were injured coming into this game. SF was actually getting more healthy.

The difference is we got the win with our top boys out. The 49ers got crushed at home with Bosa out.
