We had 429 yards on offense to Seattle's 230. We lost due to turnover differential.

One thing no one is mentioning.. giving up at TD before the half on an emotional personal foul on 3rd down. That 7 points swings the game...

We still did better than I thought we would on the road in Seattle.  I saw a lot of positives.

It sure did. Complete boneheaded selfish play.

He has games where he really holds no responsibility for the loss but this one isn’t it. Dalton has below league average ability to extend plays after the line breaks down, he has a WEAK arm and cannot make plays down the field on the run and in the playoffs you NEED that ability if you don’t have immense pocket presence. He also gets clutch passes batted down because of his size. That’s not his fault but it hurts him. He is what we think he is. A good QB with no ability to win tough games

He turned the ball over TWICE in this game, including once in the redzone and once to lose the game. Any other QB and we win today. This team isn't good enough to carry a loser like Dalton.

No...you're a troll because of the trolling.

Yes this is very encouraging

I remember in the 90's and in the 2000's I'd be all psyched for the season. Then, we'd play a better team like the Titans/Oilers or someone.

We'd generally outplay them, lead most of the game...then lose in the 4th quarter.

This game just had that feel to it. One Seattle would win. Because that's what they do...they win close games.

That’s Swagger for ya! Hate that guy. Shitty way to lose but a very unexpected performance. Interested to see what happens from here but it seems ZT has been able to get more out of the same players than Marvin ever could have.

Never seen anything like it.

Happens at least a couple times a game. He's not overly tall for a QB (6'2") and has a quick compact motion which lowers the release point even further.

Another positive Mixon injury doesn't appear serious should play next week

How about the tackle "attempt"  on the Carson TD?

[THE PISTONS]

While our defense played well, Wilson had a 134.6 passer rating.

I like that Taylor went pass heavy when it was clear we could not run the ball whereas Marvin would have forced the run. Came down to fluke slipped ball and a missed FG. Gotta feel good looking forward to the next matchup.

Nah, it’s stupid. They don’t ask how when it comes to wins, just how many.

[THE PISTONS]

Interestingly, Seattle had a terrible run defense last year. We came out and decided to attack them through the air and struggled on the ground.

A.  He's Russell Wilson.  It's what he does.  He's great, whether he gets the recognition he deserves or not.

B.  He didn't turn the ball over.
