Didn’t have “catch of the year by MyCole Pruitt” on my Falcons bingo card! Stunt on em, Pru!

The Seahawks’ schedule the rest of the way:

• @ Cowboys
• @ Niners
• Eagles
• @ Titans (TEN is undefeated at home)
• Steelers
• @ Cardinals

Seattle is currently 6-5, but if the wheels fall off during thIs end-of-season gauntlet, and they miss the playoffs, then they might be ready to move on from Geno. Of all the win-now band-aids we could slap on, that one’s not too bad IMO.

The most recent trade up in the draft after the top 2 QBs were selected was last draft, when Houston traded the 12th pick, the 33rd pick, a future 1st, and a future 3rd for the 3rd pick and a 4th round pick, all for DE Will Anderson. You could argue that the 33rd pick (a high 2nd rounder) + swapping a 3rd rounder for a 4th rounder is equal value to a late 1st round pick, so the Texans essentially gave up 2 additional 1st round picks to move up.

Also in recent history the Niners vaulted from 12 to 3 for 2 additional 1st round picks and a 3rd rounder, taking QB3 Trey Lance after Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson came off the board.

So if we’re picking outside the top 10, and a clear QB3 emerges who’ll be a top 5 pick, we’d have to find a trade partner in the 3-5 range, and we’d have to give up at least 2 future 1st round picks (or equal value) to move up that high. That’s a big ask. Granted, it’s conjecture that a QB3 (Daniels, Penix, Nix, etc.) will rise that high and be drafted that early, but I still think it’s worth gaming out the possibility. This time last year I never would’ve thought Anthony Richardson would be the 4th overall pick.

Making the postseason and playing in a playoff game is incredibly valuable experience for a team chalk full of guys who haven’t done a thing in the NFL. The last time we made the playoffs, Calvin Ridley was still at Bama. Mainstays like Chris Lindstrom and AJ Terrell have never sniffed the playoffs. Even if we get blown out, playing in the playoffs would be a huge step forward for our players and our organization.

PFF once again disrespecting block god Parker Hesse with a 54.6 overall grade. He averaged out around 60 last season, so this is nothing new smh.

I tell ya, when Ridder let that half-jump pass go, I almost SCREAMED no at my tv lol
