Seahawks Instant Reaction, News After 30-23 Loss vs. Steelers: Kenneth Walker, Abe Lucas Injury News

[Music] you guys know that Stephen A Smith meme where he says you know very bad day pain and it's black and white and all that that's how I feel um when you look at the seaha season at 8 and8 right now this was the most painful of all the losses this team has suffered this year because let's face it this was very winnable for the Seahawks they had every opportunity to get the job done they were the better team they were at home they had momentum two- game winning streak in all and just let this one slide away this was a sad disappointing day for your Seattle Seahawks they follow the Pittsburgh Steelers 30 to 23 and the Steelers did so with a third string quarterback Mason Rudolph who played solid 18 24 274 yards but the difference in this football game was the way the Steelers ran the football they had a grand total of 202 yards on the ground against the Seahawks defense what did we talk about all off season and into training camp leading up this season we said the Seahawks had to improve the run defense that the run defense was mediocre that was the biggest issue with the Seahawks team and you had a Draymond Jones you added Leonard Williams You' made some changes to try to fix the run defense Bobby Wagner and everything here but I sit here today on the final day of 2023 and I say to myself this isn't working this isn't any better in the run defense and that comes down to coaching Clint hurt Pete Carroll they have failed this team they have failed you the fans you deserve better than the product that we saw in the field today this is an embarrassment and there needs to be changes there needs to be held to pay because what happened today comes down to coaching the Seahawks had every chance to win this game Gino played good enough Run game was not great DK nice day five catches 160 106 yards hit by prize pick more on that later comes down to coaching this was all about coaching injury news for Seattle now did you lose you got banged up a bit Kenneth Walker with a shoulder Abe Lucas with a knee Evan Brown with a concussion Arty burns with a knee you were already short-handed at the corner position now you got more injuries adding up and we've seen what this seah team looks like without Abraham Lucas support of the equation uh as he missed most of the first half of this year and how much the offensive line struggled oh boy and by the way next week when you face Arizona with your last chance to make the postseason that's not a given Cardinals beat the Eagles today folks yeah KY Murray look great so all of a sudden heading into next week I'm in panic mode I'm nervous as hell I want to get the playoffs I want to compete for a Super Bowl title I at least want a shot this steam's not making it easy for that to happen I can tell you that but what's your one- word reaction to the Seahawks lost to the Steelers Smitty put up a good graphic here New Year's nightmare nightmare is a good word can I go like acronym here can I go WTF like it shouldn't have happened this was a terrible way to end the year in 2023 was a good year for years truly uh I I enjoyed myself but this was not the way I Envision the year ending terrible absolutely

right let's go for some numbers for you let's start with Gino Smith 23 of 33 290 yards a touchdown a lot of people are going to point to The Possession towards the end of the game where it was the strip sack fumble that was actually on Charles cross Charles cross who the Seahawks spent a high draft pick on who they are paying a decent amount of money as a rookie and everything to supposed to be their franchise left tackle that's not him it's not onino for giving up that Blindside Force fumble at the end of the game there he was disappointed by his offensive line the old line didn't do its job in that scenario I was fine with what Gino had played gin was good enough to win this football game that's all you can ask for is Juno being good enough and and simply the guys around him the offensive line in particular was not good enough only sacked one time today Q be rating 106.9 and I mean I think about this what's been the biggest complaint about the Seahawks passing game over the last five plus years it's been the lack of getting tight ends involved oh a fan had five catches 59 yards today he woke up finally came to life shanet was solid in the backfield five catches 39 yards DK with a big day I would have lik to seen more from jsn and Tyler Lockett Lockett was uh kind of Mia for the most part Bobo had that one catch catch but that was it um I was disappointed in those guys not getting it done but it was at least somewhat pleasing see uh none other than a Noah F getting the mix Ken Walker we mentioned left the game with an injury he had 10 carries 53 yards touchdown run charman's impact was really in the receiving game he didn't do much on the ground Two Carries for two yards on the day um but what do we tell you in our uh pregame video earlier this week the statistic going into this one was that the Seahawks every game this season where they've rushed for 100 yards or more they've won simple as that you rush for 100 yards you win and that's the best of any team in the NFL you know what they ended up with today 88 yards didn't get to 100 they lost no coincidence got to establish the run it's so ironic really it's moronic of this Seahawks team that sits here and tells us pit Carol and Shane Waldren week in and week out you know the identity of the Seahawks we want to be a run first football team we want to run the football to open up the passing game and time and time again you know what happens that never happens with this Seahawks team they never establish the run to open up the passing game and it's infuriating cuz it's real simple when you look at the statistics you run the ball you win r the ball please who was Seattle's MVP against steers I guess I go DK I guess how about Devin Bush 17 tackles who would have thought J in the comments section give me your MVP for this game against the Steelers here now let me tell you about prize picks prize picks proud partner of Seahawks today uh powered by chat sports prize picks real simple how it works choose two or more players any given category get the choice of more or less whether you're talking fantasy points passing yards receiving yards completions and more prize picks is the place to go I got to tell you we did pretty good on prize picks today we hit on DK I said he'd have more than 58 and a half receiving yards and he killed that he had 106 now we need Michael pennix to come up big tomorrow night with more than two and a half touchdowns and I'll be honest if Washington's going to beat Texas he's going to have more than he's got to have more than two and a half touchdowns so play along with me price.com CS promo code CS for a $100 deposit match link is in the comments and description of today's video price.com s now the numbers let's go over these uh 468 yards allowed wol Steelers were a balanced attack 266 through the air 202 yards on the ground and how about that right there no turnovers and the time of possession they they spending and I were talking about this as the game was going along the Steelers had no sense of urgency to move the football like they were methodical they took their time I mean they did what they wanted and it was so frustrating to watch because you're like my Lord can we get the football back please I mean they played keep away you guys remember that game keep away growing up that's what the Steelers did today Nai Harris who's not that good if we're going to be frank Nai is not that good rush for 122 yards today 4 and a half yards a carry how does that happen Jaylen Warren I actually like Jaylen Warren though um former udfa out of Oklahoma State um had nearly six yards to carry today my goodness 202 yards three touchdowns Steelers Run game couldn't be stopped I'll tell you what I'm glad that we don't have to face the Steelers in the AFC right now because they're getting hot at the right time uh seah Ork stats 369 281 through the air the Run game got to get over 100 did do it today and he had that coloss LE turnover you didn't win the turnover battle and then that number there as I point to it 22 minutes 27 seconds got to give your offense a chance you at least got to be on the field try to get some points that wasn't the case zarc's full playoff chances going to be tougher to get in now you've made things a lot harder on yourselves and you need some help how do you feel about sex
