Silly.

Sherman played like crap, he did nothing special at all in that game. He got burned badly for multiple third down and 7 or more conversions. I'm confident he'll bounce back but I can see why the Chargers weren't impressed. They won't face Sherman again for another four years so they can talk all the shit they want without worrying it will come back and bite them.

Sherman will bounce back, probably next week, but that was a rough game.

He was playing like 7 yards off his man all game long. Pretty FS but then again so was the rest of the gameplan.

Football is an easy game if you keep the defense on the field for 45 minutes in heat and humidity. The Hawk offense needed to keep some drives going in the first half.

For the stat heads there are some pretty good ones on what happens to a defense as the number of plays goes up.

Pretty tuff to sustain drives when Lynch only gets 6 carries all game.

Darrell Bevell is like the anti-John Ross. How many losses will be worth this year?

He kept featuring Bryan Walters and Lockette over Harvin and Lynch. I'm really hoping they were just mailing this game in, in preparation for the Denver game. That would be far better than Bevell being fucking stupid enough to think this would work.

The offense had all of 4 drives in the 1st half. 2 of which went for TD's. The only thing you could hold against the offense in that game is they didn't put together the gw drive needed to win. Other than that I thought they were pretty good

Chargers played an excellent game yesterday. Made some huge plays that were hard to defend. Seahawks were terrible on 3rd down, couldn't get to the quarterback. Draw plays and little dink and dunk passes crushed them.

It is what it is, a loss in week 2. Not a big deal as long as the clean it up. Too many people thought this team was invincible even though their depth took quite a hit from last year.

Offense was fine, they just were never on the field.

The Chargers are a pretty good team. Chancellor, Wagner, and Irvin all barely played or missed the entire preseason. Losing Thurmond in free agency and Lane to injury really hurts the secondary. The guys replacing them are pretty much bottom of the barrel guys. Nickel corner is a real weakness right now. Maybe Simon can fill in when he gets back, but he's a bigger corner and might be best suited to stay outside. It might take a little time for the defense to look like they did last week.

Agree about everyone thinking the Seahawks are invincible. There is no such thing in the NFL. When the Hawks beat the Broncos this weekend, the 12's will think the Seahawks are untouchable again.

I thought burley was okay Sunday. If we're looking at this team's defensive issues on Sunday nickel CB would be low on that list. The LBers were the ones exposes even though I believe they will bounce back. The offensive line to be an issue again, wiw

5 catches for 55 yards without a score. Maybe he should get off of Gates' back before he talks shit. This would be like any Chicago Bull sans Scottie Pippen talking shit after winning, By riding on the back of Jordan.
