The man is 11-0 and I think he pushes that to 12-0 this year with a wild win over the Titans. That being said, I can't pick against the Seahawks and that's mostly because Pete Carroll has NEVER LOST A HOME OPENER during his time in Seattle. Something crazy always happens in Seattle's home opener and I don't expect this year to be any different. Over the past four years, their openers have been decided by 4.8 points per game. If Waldron's debut was a perfect 10 on the 1 thru 10 scale, then Downing's was a negative 18.īased on this, you'd think I'm going to predict a Seahawks blowout win, but the Seahawks never blow anyone out in their home opener. No one loves to complain about their OC more than Seahawks fans, but there were no complaints on Sunday, which tells you how successful Waldron was in his debut.

Seattle's win over the Colts might have been the first time in football history where Seahawks fans didn't spend the entire game complaining about their offensive coordinator on Twitter. Good morning to Shane Waldron, who nearly doubled the Seahawks' use of play action yesterday (41.4%, second in the NFL)- Mina Kimes September 13, 2021 Surprisingly, it was actually a banner week for cats because the Lions, Bengals and Panthers are all in first place, and also, the cat that was hanging from a rafter at Hard Rock Stadium didn't die. Sure, they lost, but they're also in a tie for first place, which is something I never thought I'd say about the Lions. The only NFC North team that should be happy with how the weekend went is the Lions. I'm actually somewhat surprised Aaron Rodgers didn't blame Murphy (or his law) for Sunday's loss since he's not a big fan of the Packers' front office. The Packers game was a classic example of Murphy's Law and although I don't think the law is named after Packers president Mark Murphy, I'm starting to think it might be since everything that could go wrong has gone wrong for the Packers since the end of last season.


I say 85% because I'm not exactly sure what the NFC North did over the weekend qualifies as football, so everyone in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois are now going to have to wait another week to witness an actual NFL game. There's nothing better than the first weekend of NFL football and that's exactly what 85% of the country got on Sunday.
