The thing is, people will argue profusely that the Seahawks aren’t bad (some will of course scream that they are), and I believe this. However…not being bad doesn’t make us good. It doesn’t. We have a bad defense, and an offense that should be good but can’t get it together.
Can we improve? Sure. Can we be good? No, not really. We can be less embarrassing, and given the “any given Sunday” effect we can certainly win some.
But because we’re not awful, we don’t get those games changing draft choices, so we have to find game changers by drafting way better than anyone else, and we’re not doing it. The last 2 drafts have been good, but man we’re just not really closing the gap.
This team is closer to 4-6 than 9-1 by way of playing. They have good corners, ok safeties, but backers and D-line are bad and awful respectively.
Offensively they have good receivers, ok TE’s, and then an O-line that waffles between ok at best and awful at worst, and a QB that frankly this year has also waffles between ok at best and awful at worst.
We are just not good!
We also need more luck. Jamal was a game changer for the Jets but has had terrible injury luck with us. Uwosu was our most productive edge rusher and went down for the season.
The issue with this team isn’t talent. It’s execution. We have only been boat raced in 2 games and could be 8-2. But poor execution and our inability to close out games through maintaining offensive drivers means we could be 4-6 or worse.
We are both a really good team and really bad team at times. The difference between our floor and ceiling is huge and that gap makes it very difficult for fans to process, especially ones that only look at outcomes.
We don’t score enough points to be good. The team is loaded with talent, the play caller has no talent.
I agree. Our d line did not generate a sack( not counting Devon witherspoons) but atleast they kept the rams to 17 points.
Offense Scoring 16 points is plain just inexcusable; heck the broncos outscored us with barely any weapons (jeudy maybe the worst WR ever to play football). Even the Vikings outscored us with a backup qb signed 2 weeks ago.
We are a poorly run team; just fire everyone and restart. This is stupid.
I agree on some points, for me the offense shortcomings fall on Waldron. Felt this way for most of the season, but the Ravens game is when i really lost it. The defense honestly can be good but the weird play calling, communication issues and weakness in the middle is doing us in. When i say weakness in the middle i mean the incapability of this team to cover the middle at all!
