Summary

The Seahawks offense fell short against a Bengals defense that was smashing up against a second-string offensive line. Geno Smith missed several throws, some due to pressure, and some due to a subpar performance. We go through some of the points of the game that appeared to be the quarterback's fault and other parts where blame could be pushed toward coaching, penalties, play calling and other execution issues. Does DK Metcalf deserve any blame and we wonder if he's hearing any of the criticism that is building for some unnecessary antics?

With the loss behind them, the Seahawks head back home for a stretch of two home games. The division rival Arizona Cardinals are only 1-5 on the season, but they've been playing tough and shouldn't be taken lightly (even in spite of their recent effort against the Rams). We discuss some of the players to watch for and the expectations for our Seahawks.

Looking ahead to the next few weeks, what are some of the expectations for the Seahawks defense? Adam drops the average number of points he expects this defense to allow over the next few weeks. If it happens, we're going to be taking about a solid record and a defense that should be viewed among the best in the league going into the second half of the season. A mouse and a segment of sports media going after a fan need to do better. Better at life honors go out to the defenders of our quarterback and a segment of the flock who met up in London.

0:11.1	I'm Brandon Schultz of the military Seahawkers, and I'm joined by my good buddy in Montana
0:16.4	Seahawker Adam Emmert.
0:18.2	You know what makes stupid losses feel better, Brandon?
0:21.0	Talking about it with good buddies like you and all the little flockers, I'm excited to
0:26.7	break this down with it.
0:28.3	Well, excited is the wrong word, but I do appreciate that we get this opportunity to go
0:32.9	through the loss to the Bengals, but was it really that bad?
0:36.9	Was it that bad? It felt bad immediately
0:41.0	after it happened because they were so close. Two opportunities at the end zone in the final
0:49.0	three minutes of the game. And you felt like of those two opportunities, they should be able to come away with enough
0:55.7	to get the victory.
0:57.4	And so I think that's why it bothered me so much after the game.
1:03.0	And I think that's part of the reason why people were so emotional after the game, too.
1:07.8	I got an email from Lloyd Zilla via Discord saying, you know, so far I've seen the
1:15.5	following reactions, Bench Gino, Fire Pete, and my personal random reaction of the week,
1:21.7	trade decay.
1:22.9	And I think that, you know, a few days out, yeah, those seem kind of silly.
1:28.6	But after the game, I think you're just, you're mad and it's, you know, a few days out, yeah, those seem kind of silly. But after the game, I think you're just, you're, you're mad and it's, you know, you're kicking stuff. And you, you,
1:33.4	you want, uh, you want it to be fixed. For sure. And I think for the average fan, when it's a
1:39.4	offensive struggle fest, rather than a defensive one, it's one thing when you lose a shootout, especially for most average NFL fans these
1:48.5	days.
