i dont think the coaches put them in a great position to succeed in those last two plays

yes, the players need to execute, but we dont have Tom Brady, lets try to put him in a spot to succeed, i think they failed


nobody is perfect, but just seems like ANOTHER spot the we failed on the coaching side

Absolutely agree, Im sure most noticed for maybe first time during a loss on Game Day thread and here after I was not critical of Kirk.

I put this loss squarely on the coaching and HC, with an extra week to prepare his favorite unit the D was hot garbage, there were some blueprints of how teams attacked and limited Wilson and caused Seattle coaches into bad decisions/ playcalling on O, we obviously didnt look at that tape or feel we could execute those type of schemes. Our D coaching mindset is very troubling at times with late or non existant in game adjustments. I hate watching us just keep leaking as the crack in the dam widens throught the game. That is all coaching.

Seattle is 9-2...there is not much of a playbook on how to win....especially on Monday night in Seattle


you just have to play your best game, from coaches down to special teams

we did not do that

IMO

As bad as Rhodes was it was probably the run D that lost us the game. Consistent 8 yarders on 1st down it seemed like.

The DLine sucked but it hurts when you have to have Harry babysit Rhodes every play and not help in run support.

When they are bringing in a 6th lineman you can't have a LB like Wilson on the field... he just doesn't have the size.
Poor coaching.
You can't play your safties deep.
Poor coaching.

Yeah, SEA is probably baiting you for a play action pass but when you refuse to adjust they just kill you with runs all night.

Barr isn't great at shedding blocks either... when the DLINE is getting pushed around things go south quick.
No adjustment.
Poor coaching.

According to PFF Rhodes is up to allowing completions on over 85% of targets. That's almost impossible! Or maybe the better word would be improbable. Waynes is also awful allowing 70%. Maybe the corners can't hear what the cornerback whisperer is saying or more likely Zimmer isn't this great cb guru everyone thinks he is.

I'd start Wasswa Serwanga over Rhodes. Rhodes is now merely a throwback to the years our CBs were crap.

At the time he resigned, it was a must signing. Maybe overpaid in the grand scheme but he was very good.

It seems like they shortened parts of his thigh muscles and now he can't run, let alone (gasp) make a cut. What is practice like with him vs Diggs? Must be a laugh, in a sad way.

He does seem pretty straight legged and kind of like the tin man. I seriously wonder if he starts this week.

He's like Kramer in that Seinfeld episode where Kramer is wearing those too-tight jeans and he can't bend his legs.

This season Rhodes has allowed a passer rating when targeted of 132.6 this season - by far the worst of his career. After 12 games, he also has committed 10 penalties, and is on pace for a career season worst on that score as well.

His coverage performance against Seattle represents his nadir - allowing a perfect 158.3 passer rating when targeted, including a long touchdown pass in blown coverage. He also committed a stupid personal foul - which also led to a Seahawks touchdown.


I am stunned by how bad X is. 132.6 & 10 penalties????

Zimmer defended Rhodes today in presser, said hes fine, just needs to clean a few things up...

Glad I missed yesterday's game. In fact, I forgot it was on. But who on here didn't see a loss at Seattle. I get to miss the next three games as well while in Australia and New Zealand. Season could be over by then or a must win game to get into a lowest seed WC game and another first round exit.

Unbelievable...clean up a few things?

Zim has officially lost it. Rhodes is a complete liability out there. We have other cb's that are better.

Hopefully this means we won't have to hear anything from you.

I asked Xavier Rhodes why he is no longer the same caliber of player from when he was all pro and he said he does not know but is confident he can flip a switch and be better

Idk. We know there is a cliff rb's fall off at Rhodes age but I never heard of cb's doing a nose dive at age 29

I can appreciate Zim backing up his players but he isn't fooling anyone saying Rhodes only has to clean up a few things. I think in this situation I'd rather hear Zim call a spade a spade.
