Awe.. your boring, have faith in your team lol, ain’t y’all undefeated on the road tho in all seriousness?

Weirdly yes. Better on the road then home.

Well considering the fact that just like the Pats we have the second easiest schedule after them & you saw last night when they actually faced a quality team I think it’s safe to say that y’all are the first quality team that we’ve played all season offensively. Just like how you said there are holes in your teams defense there are now holes in ours too since we lost Kwon for the year who helped freed up guys like Bosa & Forest & Arizona’s up tempo offense was able to give us a scare this past Halloween.. I expect Pete & his team to look to run the same thing, especially with Josh Gordon in the lineup. The game can really go either way & has the making to be the best SEA vs SF matchup since the NFC Championship game.

It will be interesting to see how they integrate Gordon.

They would have 3 WRs who could produce a big play on any given down. Of course Wilson is the leading MVP candidate. From the Red Zone plays that I've seen, he's not having to dice up a defense so much as he's able to throw back shoulder fades or 50-50 balls to Metcalf or Lockett with single coverage. Those WRs have been winning most of the time against single coverage so add Gordon to the mix as a big-play target and they can't all be doubled.

The defense statistically has been poor but the offense could put up points on any team -- they scored 27 on New Orleans even in a loss.

Even if they get in as a WC, they are a dangerous team because of this big play potential. I think they could put up 30 on any team. The defense may give up more but they could get hot in the playoffs and make just enough plays and stops, opportunistic turnovers.

I vaguely recall some teams like, big-play offense with a subpar defense but in the playoffs they win at least a couple of rounds because the offense keeps producing.

Of course, big-play teams have also failed to win it all, such as the Viking teams with Moss when he couldn't be stopped.

Don't worry. You'll win Monday.

Gordon is another weapon/decoy so teams are less likely to stack the box against them.

But this is the worst Pete Carroll defense since 2010 (His 1st year in Seattle).

I'm sure the national media will say the Patriots knew about this and decided to put him on waivers...


Back to the topic. I feel bad for him.

RW wanted AB but management went with Josh Gordon.

Doubt it. Gordon's role here wasn't huge. I think he was targeted maybe twice a game. AB is just too big of a headache. The league would still have to clear him.
