Tech Worlds":4snsallb said:Not when it mattered. We could easily have salted away the cincy game and the Panthers game with first downs in the forth qtr. We looked horrible. Our offensive line was a sieve against good defenses. Stats be damned we were not dictating squat. The eye test doesn't lie.
Our offensive line did look bad in power football situations, I agree 100%.
But with regards to the Cincy and Carolina meltdowns, I think momentum had as much to do with that as anything. Seattle was getting into 3rd and short situations, but couldn't complete a pass to save their lives on third down to salt the game away. Classic choke job.
Which strikes me as an anomoly. Russell has been mostly great in his career at putting teams away. And most of the struggles putting teams away this season happened before the switch to a spread offense.
