A 17-0 lead almost evaporated in subsequent to no time in any respect, however the Seahawks confirmed large resolve and pulled away late for a cushty 37-23 victory in opposition to the primary group they’ve performed all 12 months with a successful report. That win additionally places Seattle in high spot of the NFC West for the primary time since opening day.

For the second week in a row we’re going for an Enemy Response tripleheader. It’s the Chargers sport first, adopted by the Broncos’ newest defeat, after which capped off by the 49ers loss to the Chiefs. Get pleasure from!

Put up-Recreation: The Chargers want a receiver (Jason Reed, Bolt Beat)

That is one thing that ought to have been achieved weeks in the past. In truth, it ought to have been achieved when Jalen Guyton tore his ACL in Week 3 and was declared out for the remainder of the 12 months. The depth behind Keenan Allen and Mike Williams merely isn’t adequate, particularly with Joshua Palmer not having an important season.

Allen lastly returned in Week 7 however was on a snap depend and didn’t play within the second half. Palmer missed the sport with a concussion but it surely shouldn’t be a long-term damage. Mike Williams rolled his ankle beneath a Seattle defender within the second half and can possible miss a couple of weeks with an ankle sprain.

This group wants assist. If Williams is out and Palmer misses the following sport will probably be Allen and a bunch of follow squad receivers — actually. If Palmer returns that helps however he has not been that nice and there’s nonetheless a depth downside behind them.

The Chargers want somebody who can really make a distinction. They don’t want somebody like John Hightower the place we will get enthusiastic about his 40-time however he doesn’t really make a distinction. The Chargers want a professional NFL huge receiver for his or her star quarterback to throw to.

There actually are options for the Chargers to explore so there are not any excuses in the event that they don’t make this addition. In the event that they don’t, it’s merely roster malpractice and Tom Telesco ought to obtain much more criticism than he has already gotten.

Enemy Preaction: New York Giants

After we made our predictions for the Seahawks’ season I stated this group would go 6-11 and that a lot had to go right for them to be a good team, particularly Geno Smith and/or Drew Lock enjoying above bottom-ten degree, the offensive line persevering with to play in addition to they did in preseason, and the NFC West having a downturn. All of that has materialized after which some, and for the time being the Seahawks appear to be a great group with a protection that’s beginning to determine some issues out after a horrid begin.

The Giants is perhaps scraping by in all of their wins however 6-1 is 6-1 and so they current some fascinating challenges for Seattle. Wink Martindale likes to blitz, so the Seahawks must be ready to take care of that relentless strain in methods they weren’t in opposition to the Arizona Cardinals. The run protection can even be coping with Saquon Barkley, which is a hell of rather a lot completely different than Austin Ekeler working behind a weak offensive line. Two years in the past this matchup was a low level within the Seahawks season, and now it’s a matchup with playoff implications for each groups. Who’d have thunk?

Thanks for studying and go ‘Hawks!
