Week Five: The Break…down?
The Seahawks seemed to figure out they were a passing team…….in the first half.
Week Four: Lost at Sea?
Thanks to a big-time Kam Chancellor strip and a big-time no-call from the officials, the Seahawks walked away with a victory they neither earned or deserved. The Seahawks are in distress. Playing without an identity, playing without a scheme, running around like decapitates chickens, the Hawks made terrible play after terrible play and the eyesore of it is just shocking. This is not the team that Seahawks fans have seen since the arrival of Pete Carroll. What is happening to the Seahawks now is both confusing, disheartening and quasi-unexplainable. This is a good team. Really, it is. So what’s wrong?
Week Three: Bench Lynch?
Is the injured? Is he old? Is he just a bad fit for an offensive line that can’t give him that step to get up the speed? Is he bringing a subtle and maybe unintended dissension to the locker-room? The answers to these questions will always be incomplete but yesterday proved what this entire season has proved. The Seahawks can only run the ball when they pass to run, and Marshawn Lynch needs to feed the beast before the beast gets going.
Week Two: Are the Seahawks Bullies?
The first two weeks of the season, I’ve felt like I’m watching Super Bowl 49 all over again. Whether it was Bailey failing on the one-on-one for the touchdown the same way KJ Wright was burned by Gronk during the Super Bowl. To these slippery, quick horizontal passes to a single receiver while everyone else blocks. You know what? Who needs to relive it? The point is that I’ve watched the Super Bowl for three straight weeks, and for three straight weeks the Seahawks lost it.
The New England Patriots exposed the Seattle Seahawks—and now everyone is copying them.
Week One: Seahawks Down.
You wait the entire year after losing the Super Bowl on the last play of the game for week one where you will get a new start, a new season, and the first game ends in losing on the last play. It was a fourth and short but it felt like fourth and forever with how dismal and predictable the Seahawks had been in short yardage situations for the preceding four quarters.
