4 FG'S and 1 TD I think is where the criticism comes from. Our red zone play hasn't been up to task. We seem to move the ball decent with an open field but had multiple passes dropped or vanilla running plays called when it mattered.
It doesn't sound like you're taking into account, the closer they get to the red zone, the more condensed the Defenses area of coverage.
The Offensive Line is still piecing it all together, Lynch was played sparingly (too much as far as I'm concerned), so the New Running Backs were left to pound the rock.
Rawls and Jackson did a pretty damn decent job of moving the chains, and that's another aspect of the running game that needed to be evaluated.
I was heartened by some of the positives in this game, and the negatives are something that I believe will be ironed out as the Season progresses.
With all the comings and goings on the Seahawks Offense, there's 0 continuity, so I expect we're going to see some misfires.
I think it's also a bit unrealistic to expect an explosive Offense right out of the starting blocks.
That's why I choose to take in the positives, and try not to let the fixable negatives dictate my mood.
