Fighting through injuries, surging Packers get December jolt
Plus a look at Tom Brady’s staggering stats this season and the Monday Night Football game against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Seattle Seahawks played their worst game in a half-decade on Sunday, getting their asses kicked in a 38-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Lambeau Field.
Instead, Wilson had a game more in line with his four-interception day against Green Bay in the NFC Championship game on January 18, 2015, though that game did end with Wilson’s 35-yard touchdown pass in overtime for a 28-22 win. I think that the response has been positive from that, but it doesn’t end from this game. Do you have an even higher appreciation for what he has been able to do since you know how hard it is to perform at that level when healthy?
Russell Wilson threw a career-high five interceptions and missed on several other throws against Green Bay. “He tried to do something dirty so that’s why I’m going to beat his ass”. “We can’t dwell on it, because we’ve got to prepare for the next game”. It could’ve been entirely different. “I feel like we can run the table”, he told reporters, meaning he believed winning six games to close out the season was a surmountable task. Backup LB and special-teams player Brock Coyle (foot) “has a chance” to play against the Rams, Carroll said. But he was just off. And he was to blame for letting Packers wide receiver Davante Adams get behind him for a 66-yard touchdown catch down the right sideline on the game’s third play. In Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Wilson put up the second-worst passer rating of his career (38.8). Against New England last month, Wilson was even better, passing for 348 yards and three TDs. It looks like the Packers are in the right direction and if they play their cards right, they would definitely make it to the finals. Midway through the second quarter, when linebackers Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright blitzed, was apparently the first time Seattle sent more than four at Rodgers.
What has become clear for Seattle is as Wilson goes, so goes the Seahawks.
“I had to get used to it a little bit at first, ” Montgomery said. “I have to get to the quarterback no matter the circumstances”. The “solution”? Fire the GM, head coach, quarterback, and start over, just so you can go 1-15 next season and hope that before the next presidential election, you’ve at least made the playoffs a single time. They intercepted Wilson five times.
Lang’s return from a foot injury following a three-game absence was a boost to an offensive line that is playing. NY overcame a first-quarter 14-point deficit to earn a hard-earned, however ugly, victory in San Francisco, led by second-year quarterback Bryce Petty, who replaced Ryan Fitzpatrick this week as the team’s signal caller. He consistently has shown he can rebound from tough outings and correct his mistakes. We have a lot stuff out in front of us at the end of this season, and we have to be together in putting this behind us and moving forward. Things don’t happen on their own. “Because yesterday looked like a team that was playing just looking at the clock going ‘When can we get out of these frigid conditions and get back out to the Great Northwest?'” “The sacks aren’t always the indicator of how the QB performs, but last night Aaron Rodgers pretty much did what he needed to do and we weren’t able to offset that at all”. The Seahawks do not score points on the road and the result is an inability to win games.
