The Seahawks look like the best team in the NFL, but coach Pete Carroll says they can get better. Specifically, Carroll says the Seahawks could tackle better than they did on Thursday night against the Packers. According to Carroll, Packers running back Eddie Lacy "I was disappointed that we bounced off the guy as much...

As much as I cannot stand Carroll - this puts things into perspective. Why are our guys not held to a standard like this? It is no wonder why they do so well on D and we look like a 3rd string HS defensive unit.[-(

Well they didn't tackle well at all. They did a better job of getting to the football in the first place though so it didn't hurt them as badly as it hurt us.

This defense is weak up the middle, and it has been since we lost Bishop and Collins. You can't replace Collins because he was a freakish athlete with a perfect mixture of speed and power for the safety position. But we have younger players at inside linebacker that should be thrown in there right now. I'm sick to death of watching dog shit in the middle of a linebacker defense. This is TT's biggest failure and he should own up to it and be held accountable by all Packers fans.

The play of Hawk and Jones vs Seattle makes the situation with Bradford so egregious. A guy who's measurables scream ILB but someone (Capers? Moss? McCarthy?) decides to shove him into the conga line at OLB. Why? Lattimore last season and Barrington this preseason showed a willingness to get physical at the line and take runners on. Yet neither one sees a single snap vs Seattle even as Lynch was moving the chains. Why?

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
