Credit for what? Throwing picks and taking sacks. Jesse is delusional.Atlasffa wrote: Sun Sep 21, 2025 8:17 pm
November 5 is the trade deadline. Hope they are making a list and checking it at least twice. Need some new blood on that o-line.
Last year with Seattle, Geno took 50 sacks (3rd most in the NFL).The Real CK wrote: Sun Sep 21, 2025 8:25 pm Credit for what? Throwing picks and taking sacks. Jesse is delusional.
Seattle's situation is different than Raiders. They do not have two and half decades of miserable history. They weren't SB contenders when McDonald took over but they were a winning team. The OL last year was their weakness. PFF ranked Seattle's OL 31st last year, yet they won 10 games despite the 50 sacks. They have a new OL coach this year and made improvements in the OL personnel. Additionally, they are in the second year with their head coach and have continuity in the GM. With a year under their belt, the new regime knew exactly their weaknesses and could draft and acquire FAs accordingly. Raiders were a train wreck last year (and many previous years). PC took over with none of the advantages found in Seattle. It's going to take more than 3 games to mold a winning culture.Corleone wrote: Sun Sep 21, 2025 10:06 pm Last year with Seattle, Geno took 50 sacks (3rd most in the NFL).
This year:
Now I realize our OL is trash but Geno is not helping matters, he looks awful.
Seattle isn't run by nostalgic fools. The regime quickly realized what they didn't have in Geno (because they didn't listen to Twitter film idiots or melt over Geno's "they wrote me out quotes") and found a sucker in Pete and us to take him over their hands for a pick. When a team jettisons a quarterback from a ten-win team or a "winner" like Jimmy G; buyer beware.Atlasffa wrote: Sun Sep 21, 2025 10:58 pm Seattle's situation is different than Raiders.

So what you're saying is that the sucessful franchise (with their shit together) chose to trade Geno Smith and sign Sam Darnold, knowing it would be an upgrade that helped their team?Atlasffa wrote: Sun Sep 21, 2025 10:58 pm Seattle's situation is different than Raiders.

Unless it's the Chargers playing against our OL.The Real CK wrote: Mon Sep 22, 2025 1:35 am Not having a quarterback taking avoidable sacks helps more than anything.
No NFL OL in this modern age of pass rushing emphasis can consistently hold blocks for more than 3-4 seconds.
Geno chose to leave them.Corleone wrote: Mon Sep 22, 2025 2:35 am So what you're saying is that the sucessful franchise (with their shit together) chose to trade Geno Smith and sign Sam Darnold, knowing it would be an upgrade that helped their team?
