Zorn should have gone for the FG with 6min left , always stay within striking distance and force the other team to score. Instead they got zip

Overall good game

Man, western division starts and this site goes silent.

I had obligations tonight and will likely be out the next couple Saturday evenings, too.

For Seattle, that's a little bit disappointing. Not terrible by any means since it's still second-best in the league so far, but to lose that much ground after a solid home opener is, yeah, a little bit disappointing.

How long before teams start going for 3? Everyone has terrible conversion rates, so you may as well go for maximum points. Even if you're getting 1/3 conversions that's basically like 3/3 1 point conversions.

We saw a lot in the early game. Then again, that was in an offensive contest where both teams were moving the ball well.

They also sold over 10k season tickets after game one which is the most in the league. The 29k figure was inflated for game 1 expect 20k plus for last three games unless they implode.

I think Dallas is going to continue to get better. The west looks like a two horse race to me. The week 4 game in Dallas with Houston should be great.

It does look like Dallas v Houston, BUT it is not over and the teams are starting to gel. Seattle has a QB issue and they did a poor job coaching around it. esp late down 21/12 not going for the FG was idiotic always keep it to a one score game (yes a 9 point td can happen but don't count on it), that let the game get away.
Seattle needs to be a run first team and work Slivers in, he looked better for sure. Next week likely better.

and thats the game....wow. Dallas is a 4th qtr dominator

It's amusing to see them try that air raid offense for half the game and then switch to a run game. Especially since the expectations are for incredible passing plays and it works, but not very often.

Maybe it's part of the strategy.. keep em close then 180 in the 2nd half?

Probably. It's pretty common to switch to the run game once the opposing teams defense starts getting tired. It's just been so effective. I'm not complaining about the wins, but I am nervous 3/4 of the game!

Zorn was with the Seahawks when Mike Holmgren did that in 2007, trailing the Saints by 11 with under five minutes left and going for it instead of sending Josh Brown out (and then Nate Burleson totally botches a TD route). Proof that not all the stupid that rubbed off on him came from Danny Boy.
