It was a short week for a road game against a rejuvenated Rams. That said:
1) Russ Wilson was absolutely dead-eyed and not in the "I'll tear your heart out in a comeback" way. Oh, and the MVP race is over. Strangely, the same exact thing happened last year. Russ came up in the MVP discussion and then completely regressed. It's just...strange.
2) Three games in a row now that Lockett has been MIA
3) The offensive gameplan was...what? I'm not even sure. We never even attempted to establish the run and against the stacked front seven all we did was throw into vertical routes.
4) The Rams ran what should have been our gameplan. They knew that Goff wilts under pressure so they rolled him out over and over and over. The Seahawks, on the other hand, insisted on keeping Russ in the pocket against a withering pass rush and DPOY.
5) The Seahawks were playing against a QB that should've had five picks the last time they played due to constant pressure. So the gameplan this time was to...rush four and sit back in zone five yards off the line? It made zero sense.
6) Even the kicker was off, missing the extra point on the pick-six.
7) Losing Penny hurt, but if we are being honest, his presence wouldn't have changed a thing.
8 ) It was a tough order to go on the road into a division rival's house and knock them off. The Rams have gotten a few pieces back and look like they really turned the corner. That said, Seattle still controls its own faith if in week 17 if they win out, as they should.
It's not over and the team will bounce back, but anyone with two eyes should be shook up by that performance. Seattle's poor performance went beyond the scheduling factors. They were shook from the first snap and it showed.
