Besides that i think we are fine.

Our coaches know how to handle the Rams at their peak and the Rams are much worse now.

I think Zakelj, Moore, and Pryor are a step up above Compton and Brunskill, but not by much. I think Purdy is going to burn the Rams defense to a crisp. Wilks defense is going to cause a lot of turnovers because Stafford can't get away from the 49er pass rush anymore. 49ers by a mile and a half.

I don't doubt this. Week 1 is weird. I feel like Seahawks over achieved last season tho, I wasn't buying all the off season hype. Same token, I don't believe Rams are utter crap either.

Geno Smith played like the backup he was and is. I can't believe the She Hawks went with this guy.

Both Jones and him showed why paying for mediocrity isn't worth it.

Geno smith is another Alex smith. Good enough to play but not good enough to commit to. Lol does enough to drive you crazy. He's also horrific against a d like ours. I love that they have him

Feels like a stop gap until they find someone better.

I doubt Pete stays around long enough for that change. I give him 2-3 more years, tops.

All of them are terrible.
