The part of the game I missed! (Thankfully?)

The D also collapsed partially (fully?) due to it being completely worn out due to the offense having the inability to stay on the field.

The Seahawks weren't really running long, methodical, clock-eating drives in which they moved at a glacial pace. They were relying off bigger explosive plays. They just happened to get a lot of them because they were on the field so often.

Doesn't completely excuse the defense, but the offense did them no favors.

I don't know about that because the D was barely on the field in the first half and then the Seahawks started with the ball the second half. So you are criticizing one or two short drives in the 3rd quarter?

The worst thing about these games is every Monday comes and goes yet Pagano is till here.

i think woods is very underrated. i like that dude.

I like the d-line. Main thing I want improved for 2018 is a better pass rusher to sub in for Anderson in passing situations. Anderson is good against the run but offers nothing against the pass.

Brissett needs to forget Aiken. The guy is garbage.

I will also add that it irked me to hear the commentators say certain plays we run are to set up something for later in the game. We all know there just isn't that much creativity in our coaching staff. I mean, it seems like sometimes they run a play just like "well, nothing planned, so let's see what this might do", and if it works (think screen pass), we won't see it but once more the entire game. Other coaches would keep running it until you proved that you could stop it.

Do you think he plays at a level worth $9M per year?

(Honest question)

I don't know. I don't think like that. Especially having like 20 million to spend. I am not going to pretend to think I can determine his dollar value.

It annoys me when fans say a guy is with 3.5 million but not 5 million

If you asked me a year ago I would probably say paying a guy 9 mil a year that doesn't offer much in pass rushing is overpaid. As a general statement

The defense was on the field all of 10 minutes in the first half. Wearing down wasn't the issue last night.
