Blitz all day long and put Wilson on his a**. Nothing to lose with every team scoring close to 40 on us.

I fear Mike Nolan may become the worst defensive hire since Brian Stewart. I didn’t like the acquisition when it happened. Nothing so far has changed my opinion.

I was willing to give Nolan a shot, but after 3 games, the defense hasn't been anything more than pathetic. They couldn't stop a game winning drive to save their lives. While I understand we have some scrubs and underperforming players on that side of the ball, we should still get some better results. Seattle's defense has nobody spectacular yet they've seem to do enough to keep the Hawks moving to 3-0.

The offense should not have to score 40 points a game every game to clinch a win.

I hate the soft zone when my team plays it which is too often.
I’d rather die playing aggressive than just let someone pick you apart 10-15 yards a pop, as they march right down the field right into the end zone.

.....and don’t even get me started on the only rush 3 crap, giving the opposing QB 8 minutes to find the one wide open receiver.

That was a Mike Nolan special. Rush 4, play zone that creates a huge opening in the middle of the field.

Well done, Mike, well done.
After 3 games, Mike Nolan most definitely is this team's biggest mistake. He needs to go! His schemes are for the birds.

They were driving for a lead they could take with a FG. With decent offense, they could run out the clock and take the lead on a game winning kick.

At 4th and 3, we had a chance to stop that drive, retain the lead, and run out the clock ourselves.

Can't play an 8 yard cushion when they only need 3. A chance to put the game away, and we hand them a 4th down conversion.

It was a deflating conversion, plain and simple. I knew Seahawks were going to score, 100% no doubt after that.

I just remember watching and just shaking my head at how easy it was.

The defense has gotten progressively worse each game.

I really don’t care what play you call. I really care that you had a tight end wide open in the middle of the field on fourth and three. I think I could have completed that. Ha ha.

I just hate how open guys are getting on us. Sure our safety play is atrocious but three games in and guys are catching the ball with no cowboy in the screen way to much.
