Field Gulls
After getting consecutive wins by double digits, asking for a third in a row from the Seattle Seahawks was probably too much to ask. They were on course to do the same against the Arizona Cardinals, only for the Cardinals to unleash a furious comeback. Not to be discouraged, Seattle had the ball last and put the game away with a walk-off winner from Jason Myers. Hey, if this didn’t end 23-20 for the Seahawks, I suppose another tie between these two in overtime would’ve been distinctly possible.
Another Seahawks win means Enemy Reaction for the second time in just a matter of days! Let’s see how wacky this gets given the topsy-turvy nature of this victory. Cardinals game thread comments are courtesy of Revenge of the Birds!
An embarrassing display morphed into something that perhaps you can build off of. Which of those do you want to focus on tonight? They’re both relevant. They both matter. Which matters more? For me, it’s the start, not the finish.
This offense is in need of a revamp and a rebrand. Seattle has an all-everything defense to be certain, but the Cardinals didn’t cross the 200-yard threshold until their last drive of the game. The plays and the players heard about it from the home crowd and it was every bit earned. Jonathan Gannon and Drew Petzing need to use this mini-bye to devise a new plan, one that incorporates wide receivers and most importantly embraces a little risk. It was encouraging to hear Gannon suggest that the status quo can’t be the status moving forward.
And while hope is never a strategy, they have to hope that Marvin Harrison Jr. can be a part of it. As Kyler put it on Thursday night, he needs Harrison; they all do. If the fourth quarter was some sort of an awakening with just a splash of redemption, perhaps there is something useful you can take from this game after all.
The schedule provides a welcome reprieve for the Cardinals. After playing on Thursday Night Football, they now have 10 days...
