I’m not even remotely surprised but I and pretty stoked on Howell right now

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Well earned loss.

 

[Cush]

Yeah, Sam did not look happy there

 

[Capsman]

I hate Del Rio with such a passion. The guy is dumber than a box of rocks.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Fire everyone.

 

[arlcapsfan]

I can’t wait for this coaching staff to get canned….

 

[Capsman]

He passed it off to his safety who wasn’t ready. That is SQUARELY on coaching. and the one time he shows blitz earlier in the drive he rushes all of them instead of dropping Davis into coverage. And it was a delayed rush at that. The day he leaves the offense guessing is the day he completely follows someone else’s game plan.

[marcel snapshot]

Every mediocre offensive coordinator in the NFL has an answer for Del Rio’s schemes. Always. The guy is a troglodyte. Like, how does he still have a job?

 

[twabby]

I don't think Ron Rivera is head coaching material.

 

[ynotcaps]

This was a positive outcome:
1) Sam continues to show that we have our QB going forward
2) The coaching staff continues to show that we DON'T have our coaching staff going forward
3) We didn't **** up our draft position with another meaningless win against a mediocre (at best) team

3-for-3, baby!

 

[notDkristich]

at this point JDR is our "useful idiot". improve that draft position baby!

 

[Cush]

 

[ynotcaps]

I'm gonna have to check my notes, but at first glance, that seems... fireable.

 

[ynotcaps]

Man, the league's feature games this week (TNF, Germany, SNF) have been dogshit match-ups yielding dog-shit games.
A bunch of rock fights.

[Beef Invictus]

Sam has been making some precise throws to receivers as they slot into zone coverage gaps. This guy has an understanding of defenses that most QBs with his experience level haven't achieved.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

14 rushes for 68 yards against a defense that gives up 122 rush yards a game. That’s 4.8 yards a rush. TOP was 30:27 to 29:33 in favor of SEA.

I understand EB likes to pass but when your teams defense sucks running the ball to keep your bad defense off the field can go a long way towards winning close games.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

“Hot or warm” seat segment on ESPN…..


Rivera……”flaming hot”……”. “There’s no way he’s gonna make it, they play with no passion on Defense”…..

 

[arlcapsfan]

Seattle struggles against the run and EB refuses to run the ball. I feel like the media mentions it in passing but just gives him a pass and the lopsided run pass ratio of plays. I’m starting to think he is way overrated s a play caller.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Team scored 26 pts. 5 different drives ended up w scores.

Dare I say …. Offense doesn’t seem to be the issue?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Yeah the team scored enough and the offense has to try to outrun their own defense.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Howell is a keeper at least…

 

[ynotcaps]

Howell is a keeper at least…

I think Howell's development has been the most important thing that's happened this season. He is proving that the team doesn't need to keep trying to fill that spot -- they can focus their picks and their vast cap space on fixing the areas that need serious help.
Any coach they bring in should be happy to have a young, cost-controlled QB who's proven he's a genuine starter, but also has enough clay in him to be molded to a system they may bring. He's probably making the inevitable HC opening much more attractive, maybe putting some candidates in play who wouldn't otherwise consider this a desirable gig.
