Cowboys SHOCKED the Seahawks

You obviously didn't watch the Chargers-Seahawks game. Careless throwing? Rivers had 284 yards (and 0 INTs) despite not throwing a pass over 21 yards. It was the opposite of careless throwing. They threw a bunch of short/medium passes and threw the ball under in order to gain yards. Anytime the Seahawks secondary gave the Chargers receivers a cushion, they exploited it. If anything, it was a very precise passing game that gave the Seahawks defense so much trouble. An emphasis on quicker throws so the QB can't get sacked and precision passing so that crazy secondary couldn't get any INTs was their game plan. I didn't watch the Cowboys game, so I have no idea what they did.
Hack Wilson - real:

Yeah, lost a few good players on the d-line and backfield but injuries have killed them as well. I haven't been impressed either, they'll need to step it up.

And yeah, the defense isn't as elite as last year and it shows. Pass rush took a hit and those extra seconds he's left out in coverage shows. Like I said, he's probably the 4th best cornerback in the league. But he's not the run away Deion back in the day or Revis Island on the Jets greatest in the game. That's where talking shit and sports being so media driven comes into play. Quality player though.

I'm not saying he's the undisputed best in the league, my point is that people who hate on Sherm always use the argument of him lining up on one side of the field like it's his idea or something when it's just the team's defensive scheme. There's zero proof that he wouldn't thrive in another system, and the guy has done fine when the team assigns him to man coverage, and in general the dude's made big plays since he came into the league in 2011 before the Hawks were even an elite team.

Forgive me, I didn't mean careless as in every, most, or even a lot of throws were Brett Favre like miracle attempts. I meant to say the extreme careful nature that the BRoncos showed, and the Packers is what did them in, so I'm just using the opposite of careful. Yes the quick short throws in space helped, although Denver did the same to no avail in both games against these Seahawks, and it worked for SD and not for Denver for a very simple reason in my opinion. Rivers and Romo forced the Seattle DBs to give cushions because of how they would force a handful of throws right into the gut of the secondary. Peyton didn't want to make mistakes early in that game, and of course the receivers not wanting to get hit also helped a lot. Rivers had a few key throws that most teams are afraid to make against Seattle. It made a difference.
