Honestly, probably one of the top 3 games I've ever been to at PBS.I watched this game last Thursday night on YouTube! I had forgotten how Seattle ran all over us in that game. Maualuga was crappy as were the other LBs. Burfict didn't play in that game. Marvin made a wise choice in that game, he sat Hill and went Gio for the 2nd half. Hill was getting his 2ypc and getting up talking shit to the defenders. I had always thought Sanu was our most underrated player on offense and he came up big in the 4th quarter. It was an exciting season for awhile!!
Anyway, I'm looking at this roster and it's astonishing the amount of talent we lost between 2016 and now. Peko, Whitworth, Marvin Jones, Sanu, Zeitler, Pac Man, Brandon Tate, Rey Malaluga, George Iloka, Tyler Eiffert, Jeremy Hill, Michael Johnson, and more that I'm probably missing.
It's just insane to me the amount of good players and roster turnover this team has had in 4 years. Some guys were getting washed up and released, other guys were lost to free agency.
I always kind of wondered what went wrong from us being really good (like in 2016) to being really bad (like last year) and it's as simple as just losing a butt load of talent and not replacing or retaining them over the years.
Anywho, I found it interesting. 2016 was good times...
