Around the NFL...Week 2 Style!

So much for the 49ers being dominant.

They're loosing 5-0 to Seattle in Seattle with 5 mins to go in the 2nd quarter. I'd hold off on that statement.

If you watch Pittsburghs defense, they move guys all over and around and overload players on different sides of the field. Our defense we just get set and stay in one position. Maybe I'm not describing well for you all but ill have to show screen shots to show and explain it better.

Nope, I know what you are talking about Cult. You are right, as our guys just setup like the offense and stay set no movement for the most part. Thing is this passing yardage explosion is something of a trend of the past 5 years with it getting ridiculous the past 2. Our problem is having two rooks back there for the most part, but some of these other defenses are solid units and they are getting shell shocked. To me I think it is because of the 3-4 defenses that are now the rage. I might be off the mark, but getting more pressure on the QB to throw it too soon is just as important as good coverage. Our 3-4 is OK, but I think we have the personnel to run a good 4-3. Hard to have only a 3 man front go against 5-6 men, unless you have some beasts. Wish we could see how Orakpo and Kerrigan would do as DEs, as they are pretty much beasts as OLBs, but as DEs they will be on the line and closer to the QB from the get go.

Seattle's D looks scary good - glad I have them in fantasy football.

seattle is not passing at all

That was a quick assessment:

Yep it's a new era of football. I am an run first kind of guy so I really don't like it, but if my team was GB or Denver or NE I would because they win and have won without running in the past. Philadelphia will slow down I'm telling u vick won't last

There is only one person to blame for this new ridiculous offensive advantage and that's peyton Manning. Like it or not he bitched and cried about the pats corners playing physical down field and they created they rule because of it. Yal cry about Brady and the hitting QB rule but I don't hear about Manning whining constantly after losing to NE for all those years. So the NFL gave their "face" what he wanted and now today DBs are non existent

Richard Sherman just had a sick interception. Would be nice to have a CB like that.

They're winning with running and defense, I still say Russell Wilson is over-hyped and gets too much credit.

He was 8/19 (42%) for 142 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT and 51 yards were on one play. 63.9 passer rating.

Week 1 he put up bigger numbers as they barely beat Carolina.

Very impressive win last night but that was their D and Lynch.

Yes, I'm impressed by what Best Buy installed there too. Wish I had a sound system like that in my living room.

Even if they've stopped pumping sound through speakers, the stadium was manufactured to do this acoustically. Great idea and I applaud the architects.
