Wentz, Eagles get wakeup in 26-15 loss to Seahawks
They’re never a team that puts people away in September and October, but they get hot at the right time when November rolls around.
All is well in Seattle as the Seahawks moved to 7-2-1.
After the Seahawks’ loss to the Saints, I wondered aloud whether Wilson was getting a pass when he deserved blame for Seattle’s offensive shortcomings.
The Seahawks, though they have played well this season, have struggled to find a reliable running back since Marshawn Lynch retired. And despite all of that, Seattle has only lost two games.
Seattle, meanwhile, improved to 7-2-1, placing itself comfortably in front of second-place Arizona (4-5-1) in the NFC West. After holding off Buffalo in a Monday night victory, the Seahawks went across the country on a short week and won at New England, stopping the Patriots at the 1-yard line in the final seconds.
“I did it to myself”, Agholor said.
The Giants (7-3) got a second-half shutout from their defense and a game-clinching interception from Landon Collins. There hasn’t been any players-only confab.
Doug Pederson refused to blame Agholor, but the blame falls squarely on the second-year wide receiver. They haven’t needed it. Like I mentioned earlier, I don’t attempt to hit them in the head.
August feels like a million years ago.
Cliff Avril has a team-best 9.0 sacks for a Seattle defense that is tied for second in the National Football League with 29. He started the season in blazing form, leading the Eagles to three straight wins and enough hope amongst the supporter base to be labelled the Franchise saviour. How un-Seahawkian of them. But based on the way Seattle’s offense is designed, Wilson is the key that can’t be duplicated. Everything worked in Sunday’s win over the Eagles, even though setbacks emerged.
Before Prosise was hurt, he reeled off a 72 yard touchdown run, the longest run in the history of CenturyLink Field.
Thomas Rawls returned from two months out with a cracked fibula to rush for 57 yards on 14 carries, and the Seahawks churned for 152 yards on the ground.
Doug Baldwin, Seattle Seahawks – Baldwin caught a team-high four passes for 104 yards and also added the touchdown pass to Wilson.
From 15 yards out, Baldwin threw cross-field to Wilson on the left-hand side, who took a dive for the pylon and into the end zone. Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Bennett, a former Buccaneer, vows to play in that game – three weeks after arthroscopic knee surgery.
But the current Chiefs coach who was then in Philadelphia did have a big interest in taking Wilson. We’ve got to approach it much like a home game and trust the players, trust the plan. A person with knowledge of the decision tells The Associated Press that quarterback Jared Goff will make his National Football League debut on Sunday when the No. 1 pick starts for the Los Angeles Rams.
As C Justin Britt explained: “He looks for contact instead of trying to juke you out, just like when Marshawn was here”. Granted with a solid defence as they have, it’s not been holding them back so far, but coming up against Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox on Sunday, it might be a bit more of a challenge for a group that is still somewhat inexperienced when it reaches the sharp end of the season. In fact, there’s a better chance than not that he’ll be on the team again in 2017. He said the Eagles could have a better record if it weren’t for some bad plays and a fumble here and there.
