'Cigar Thoughts, Game 6: Seahawks throw a sack party, beat Cardinals 19-9.' JacsonBevens is back with the latest CigarThoughts after a huge win.
would be right there with them.
Nothing about Arizona’s next drive did anything to dispel that notion, at least not initially. Their possession would last 14 plays, eating up the rest of the first quarter as they alternated short Benjamin runs with short Murray completions. They used that formula to get the ball back inside the Seattle 30 but the Seahawks defense would stand strong again.
The next three drives ended in punts, and Seattle was able to muster one last push before the break, using a 22-yard out to Marquis Goodwin and a slick 24-yard scramble from Smith to get a third field goal from Myers and the home team took a 9-3 lead to the locker room on the backs of their oft-maligned defense.
Of course, we knew this game wouldn’t go without some drama, and Seattle’s trademark silliness would make an appearance shortly afterward. After a bananas 32-yard Kyler scramble that saw him step on every blade of synthetic grass in the stadium, the Cardinals were in Seattle territory for the fourth time this game. Two plays later, Arizona found themselves with a 3rd & 6 and went right back to the only thing that ever seems to work for them.
~Geno Smith was blitzed relentlessly today, and while Smith has been very good against pressure this year, the Cardinals strategy was effective. They sacked Smith five times and kept him out of the end zone. They forced tight windows downfield and Smith spent most of the game taking the opportunities underneath. His final line of 20-31 for 197 yards, no scores, and no turnovers should quiet the unrealistic-but-still-fun MVP chants but he did everything necessary to make sure the team won today.
~The offensive line had their worst game since Week 2 against San Francisco, surrendering five sacks and letting the Cardinals’ front besiege their quarterback all afternoon. Still, they were solid in the running game, creating enough room for Walker III to excel and paved the way for 130 yards on the ground. Charles Cross was pretty good, all things considered, but Damien Lewis and Abe Lucas had real rough goes of it. Fits and starts. Gonna be this way all season.
