looks indecisive

craftysiince84 · Answer

Yea his defense bailed him out this game.

vanhawk · Answer

I would say the same thing about Brees. He made a lot of bonehead mistakes, time-outs, bad throws, delay of games, terrible time management. He is a 13 year vet!!! Wilson is only playing in his second year cut the guy some slack

Crashdavis565 · Answer

I remember posting this and then thinking the same thing against the Niners.He is not making decisions quickly enough unless they are wide open.Just an observation.

I am curious as to why you seem to be a little more critical on him. He is still a better QB than Kap.

JVSeahawk · Answer

No, he isn&#x27;t. I&#x27;ve been watching Wilson for two years now. He&#x27;s the same player he&#x27;s always been. The difference has been the outstanding defenses he&#x27;s gone up against recently. #4 SF twice, #6 AZ (#1 rushing defense), #15 St. Louis, #5 Saints, and even the #8 Giants weren&#x27;t bad. The weakest of those, even with DPOY candidate Robert Quinn and Long on the other side, was the Rams at #15 in yards/13th in points. So what did the Hawks do to them? 27-9 win and it wasn&#x27;t that close. Since the MNF Saints game, Pete Carroll clearly has been playing conservatively, knowing he has the defense to win a championship and maybe the only thing that can derail his team is turnovers.Denver has the 17th ranked defense, better against the run 8th, weaker against the pass 19th. They&#x27;re 22nd in points allowed. And while I consider the team ranking a little suspect since it&#x27;s not an apples to apples comparison, since teams do not play the same schedule, I nevertheless believe that the 17th ranked defense is clearly inferior to the 4th and 5th ranked defenses, which is what the Hawks just faced in consecutive playoff games, including the #2 passing defense in NO and the #4 rushing defense in SF. (Denver faced the 23rd and 26th ranked defenses in terms of yards.)I repeat, there&#x27;s nothing wrong with Wilson that a weaker defense (and a healthier Percy Harvin) will not cure. He&#x27;s one of the best young talents to come along in years. Considering age, I wouldn&#x27;t trade him for any QB in the NFL, including Manning.

theclaw · Answer

In the 2 playoff games, Wilson and his offense needed 88.9 yards to score a TD.

Manning and his high power, one of the greatest offenses in history needed 121.8 yards to score a TD.

Indecisive ??? Ha, ha, ha, ha.

If that's indecisive, image what they do if he isn't indecisive.

Wilson will not be indecisive when he sees wide open receivers down field. Rivers and Brady could not buy time like Wilson can in order for his receivers to break open...

I just hope that the refs do not rob Seattle of the game but that depends upon which side all of the money is on early Sunday morning. Look to the money...

shiek · Answer

Perfect example of stats being misleading.   Wilson is a good QB, but even considering his age would not take him anywhere # 1 at this stage.   Agree w Crash&#x27;s point that there were several points in both games that he appeared unsure of himself/decision making.   The stats r misleading (yards to score a td) cuz seattle basically had to rely on 3 fluke plays for 17 of their points.   While Wilson does often create these plays, a great QB should not have to rely on them.   A great QB would have put SF away earlier.  Bottom line is that it is much easier to be good QB when u have a dominant defense behind u (see McMahon and Dilfer).

THEMUGG · Answer

I agree......he has looked a little indecisive. I noticed this about 5-6 games ago. But w/o having the coaches tape available to us it's hard to tell why.........no one open? well disguised coverages? In any event, I'd rather have him be like that than to throw the game away & then say he'd throw to that guy every time against anyone.......like kapernik said.

I think he's lost a little nerve..........I've seen him miss high or wide on more passes than ever before........

ShadowWarrior · Answer

Can a second yr QB win a SB?  I say no, but could be wrong.  I know a rookie QB has never done it.

lancer89074 · Answer

A second year QB has already taken a team to the superbowl and won. The season was 2005 and Big Ben was in his second year.

I can't wait to see Wilson rip apart this garbage Denver defense. It is going to be shock and awe for all of you Manning jockstrap supporters. Down goes Manning!!!

You might as well just rip up your ticket now. Manning is going to have a field day, Seattle's offense is weak. They were lucky to get the win last week.

Who won 8 straight and had the 4th ranked defense and just dominated Carolina on their own field? New to football, are we?Meanwhile, that awesome Denver defense pulled one out against a team than probably should have lost to Cleveland a couple of weeks earlier.It&#x27;ll all make sense to you next Monday morning.

bunny651 · Answer

&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Tom Brady did it in his 2nd year as well(2001). For all practical purposes, he was pretty much a rookie that year since in 2000(his rookie reason by definition), he was 1 for 3 for 6 yards.

Crashdavis565 · Answer

I stand by the statement he has looked indecisive. That said, I am not sure what he is seeing and I am not sure that the Hawks cannot win with him being that way.

I do not see the coverages he is seeing and let us face it, he simply does not have the best receiving core, may be they are not open.

I am sure he is on strict orders not to turn the ball over as that D is silly good there is no reason for him to push it.

I have seen Peyton look the same way from time to time. When Peyton is confused he usually makes an errant pass and sometimes an INT. Wilson starts doing the Tarkenton thing, again not bad, just an observation.

The Denver D is playing silly good right now. They just had a healthy Patriots team to 3 points for the first half, that is nothing to sneeze at. They did better against the Chargers the week before blanking them in the first half. Against both teams, they played a perfect third quarter and against both teams gave up a lot of "prevent points" late in both games.

Go check NFL.com, CD. Denver has pretty good defense in the postseason, their defense has been doing better than Seattle in many categories, such as yards/game, yards/play, sacks, rushing yards/game, 1st downs/game and Time of Position. While Denver&#x27;s defense is pretty much equal with Seattle in scoring defense/game and passing yards/game.

Crashdavis565 · Answer

Europa-

I have looked at this game a thousand ways from Sunday. I think the defense stats are kind of blurred because as someone pointed out, Denver had so many quick possessions during the year but have really tried to milk the clock and get points in the post season. What I did do that I thought was helpful, was look at each possession drive by drive here on Covers for all four of the previous post season games. I came away very impressed with what Denver has done defensively in the first three quarters of each game.

Then they have gone to the prevent D and let in some yardage and scores at the end.

If they play like they have recently on Sunday AND DO NOT TURN THE BALL OVER , they should win.

Manning is -170 to throw an INT on 5 Dimes, hmmm

Europa · Answer

Seattle got a very good secondary, Knowshon Mareno and Montee Ball would be keys of the Denver's offense coming Sunday. If Broncos can run the ball effectively against Seahawks, Manning will have pretty good chances to throw open wide outs and reduce the risk of picked-off through out the game.
