'Cigar Thoughts: hope is the enemy' JacsonBevens is here with a detailed, poignant breakdown of the Seahawks wild loss, and what it means moving forward in his latest CigarThoughts:

. One of the perks of the pod is getting these articles in audio form, in addition to our sit-downs with our amazing guests. You can listen to all the shows, including this article, right here:Most NFL seasons contains a series of mini-seasons within it, layers of trends masquerading as identities. And the 2022have certainly had theirs. Their most recent personality has been one of a ruthlessly efficient offense with a hungry, opportunistic defense.

Seattle’s response was to somehow go zero yards on five plays, as six-yard gains by Smith and Noah Fant were erased by the next three plays. Walker III was tackled the moment he took the handoff on the ensuing 1st down, then Will Dissly dropped an easy one over the middle, which led to a nine-yard sack and Seattle had to boot it away.

Feeding off that juice, Seattle finally ran the play I’ve been begging for all season. With Metcalf lined up in the left slot, they brought him on a shallow cross in front of all the linebackers as the other receivers muddied things up with their routes. Metcalf picked his way through the crowd and into the right flat, giving Smith an easy completion and using his potent speed to get a first down.

The Seahawks’ next drive got off to a promising start, with Deejay Dallas gaining 11 yards on a run and a catch, but it was derailed on the very next snap. With a fresh set of downs, Geno dropped back with Lockett and Metcalf running deep crossers. As they did, Denzel Perriman floated back to the intersection of their routes, undercutting Lockett right as Smith let go of the ball.

Seattle got the ball to start the third quarter and proceeded to uncork their second consecutive 7-play, 75-yard effort. Walker III gained five yards on the first play, then Smith found Fant for four more before keeping it to convert the 3rd & short. With a refreshed set of downs, Geno dropped back and zipped one to Lockett as he zoomed across the field from right to left.

Smith hit Metcalf for eight yards to open up the possession, and then did the exact same thing again on the next play before finding Goodwin for 21 more. But on the ensuing first down, Ken Walker III fell victim to his own contact balance. Walker was engulfed by a defensive lineman the moment he took his handoff but instead of going down, he wrestled his way out of the grasp and tried to make something happen.

To be honest, this was just a hell of a game to watch. I almost wish it was one I wasn’t emotionally invested in, because the back and forth was delicious to anyone who loves football. And after all of that, Seattle still had one last chance to win the game with 1:54 to play.
