Losses to the Rams and New Orleans and Tampa Bay, and the tie at Arizona, were games that other Seahawks teams would have found ways to win.

At the end of the Packers 38-10 victory over the Seahawks on Sunday, Green Bay went into victory formation and Aaron Rodgers took a knee to run out the clock. Green Bay is still two games back in the NFC North, still in ninth place in the NFC and yet might be as risky a team as the conference has right now, Dallas included. I just don’t know how the ref missed it.
They’re two games back of first-place Detroit in the NFC North, but play division opponents in the last three weeks of the season. And if so, what? I think it’s probably a sign of frustration on his part. “Obviously, we can’t turn the ball over and I put that on me”.
“It’s been a while since we played with that type of energy and intensity”.
Wilson played poorly two games ago against the Bucs, but that always felt as much a product of the offensive line’s issues.
“Let’s wait until we get through December”, Carroll said. Our backs are still against the wall.
Head coach Pete Carroll and Bevell need to adjust the offense to find Wilson’s comfort zone.
This was an across-the-board whitewash of Seattle that perhaps few people outside of the Packers locker room saw coming. Look for Cliff Avril, Michael Bennett and Frank Clark to get ample pressure on Rodgers and try to get him out of the pocket. “We went at that immediately. We won, we won big, but there’s a lot of things we can learn from”. And we’re battle-tested. We’ve been through this all through our lives. He comes into this game and chops guys in the back. T.J.is an absolute warrior dealing with his injuries. We could have easily folded.
– Minnesota won for just the second time in nine weeks as Kai (KY) Forbath kicked four field goals in a 25-16 win over Jacksonville.
Another positive morsel for Seahawks fans is that the remaining three games come against teams that have a combined ten wins. This is not the same team that sat 4-6 around Thanksgiving. You can learn from your losses. Special teams coach John Fassel was elevated to interim coach. Come the playoffs, they’ll still be the proverbial squad no one wants to face, regardless of their record or Wilson’s play.
There’s little chance things are suddenly going to change out of nowhere, so the Seahawks have to get that second seed.
While the win was certainly a good one for the Packers, there’s now some concern about Rodgers’ calf.
The offensive scheme may not be ideal, but certainly the Packers have found more of a comfort zone than they had during the early portions of the season. Six days later, they took care of the AFC South-leading Houston Texans rather easily. It has been very important for us.
“That’s the type of team they are”, Lang said. He got the same agent as me so when I see his ass in Atlanta I’m going to beat his ass.
Of course, in order to do that, they’ll need Rodgers to avoid missing time-even before hurting his calf Sunday, he was getting over a hamstring injury-and they’ll need help in the playoff race. He continues to do this. But Wilson also just didn’t play well.
“You didn’t see them, like, on top of our shoulder pads?” It’s great because he got so much riff from the media and from everybody that he wasn’t playing as great as he is.
– Five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Staley missed his first game since the beginning of the 2011 season – a streak that included 100 consecutive games, including eight postseason contests.

No, the problem the Seahawks have is an inability to win on the road.
