The average yardage needed by the Seahawks on third down was 10.2 yards. A recipe for disasterOffense 1-12 3rd downs and held the ball for 20 minutes of a 60 minute game.
Not giving the defense a pass, they played poorly. It was bound to happen

absolutely.What about the defense giving up 37 points? No matter how bad your offense is, that is really, really bad.
If Seattle wasn’t as bad, the Ravens wouldn’t look like world beaters.Not to take anything away from what anyone has already posted but I will just say that Ravens defense is seriously for real and they were bringing pressure from EVERYWHERE it was insane, not sure if anyone else has noticed a defensive trend lately but a lot of teams are using these crazy Cover 0 blitz packages and the Ravens were no different today, I've never seen anything like that.
Geno isn't Russ. Geno is more of a pocket passer. He depends on the success of the O as a whole.
LTH
I'm NOT giving Geno a pass. I just know when a team plays a D like the Ravens have you have to be able to run the ball or there pass rush is going to eat you up and that's EXACTLY what happen... not Geno's fault they couldn't run the ball... same thing happened to Russ when they couldn't run the ball... 15 for 28 would have killed Russ too.

You're confirming what I thought I saw on the broadcast. All long developing plays, minimal short stuff. The only screen I remember was a wr screen to JSN on 3rd and 14, which would have been a great call on 1st or 2nd down. Play calling was disgusting. It was completely unimaginative and stale, as if Waldron was either unaware of the game in front of him or just is not good enough to figure out an answer.Our offensive scheme is part of the issue. I found myself missing Schotty as I was watching the game. He was capable of putting together a solid plan and establish an identity.
This game... we were getting beat up front all day. Hoe many screens did we run? How often did we go with the big TE sets? It seems as though Shane is angling to be known as a McVay Jr through the air. I dont understand what our ide tire is on the ground.
And Geno will only go as far as Shane will take him. He's a traditional pocket passer who has to have a smart scheme to help him succeed. Today? I was there. Saw it for myself. There was almost nothing available in the pass game and what was there, there was little time to get the ball out before the pocket collapsed. Or, the ball was batted at the line.
The entire team looked frustrated. Geno and the skill guys looked demoralized. The defense was beat in the first minute of the 2nd half. Diggs was arguing with the DBs. Game was over.
Best part of the game was the halftime show. They had 2 trainers with their border collies doing Frisbee tricks. Was a lot of fun. And then the 2nd half started.
What part of 2012-2109 Russell Wilson do you not understand? He's not nearly what he once was.Yeah??? "Stupidity"? How's that workin' out for him in Denver under Sean Payton???
If the dog hadn't of stop to take a sh*t, he'd have caught that rabbit.
FOURTYFOUR POINTS GIVEN UP BY THE SEAHAWKS DEFENSE didn't have anything to do with this F'n loss????????????
Maybe. He had some really bad games his last couple years hereI'm thinking Russ could have mustered up more than 3 points in that game though.
Russ is mostly definitely cooked at this point. Hopefully he can give Penix some good pointers next year. Hopefully Penix can take some lessons from RW3's descent into hubris.What part of 2012-2109 Russell Wilson do you not understand? He's not nearly what he once was.
The way the game started out, it was a defensive slugfest. Defense also got two turnovers. The offense held the ball for only 20 of the possible 60 minutes, every defense would be tired.What about the defense giving up 37 points? No matter how bad your offense is, that is really, really bad.
Why the current coaching staff hates converting 3rd downs and loves giving up 3rd and long with passes up the middle I will never understand. It's like clockwork. And will not change.Both are to blame. Very strange to blame just the defense though when the offense is 1-12 on 3rd downs. Not only will gas your defense but you are also giving up field position constantly. This happened at home against the Rams 5 years ago and the LOB got cooked. You can't gas out your defense and have them set up to fail with bad field position. Team wide failure. Offense, defense and coaching.
Yep. We will bounce back next Sunday. We are a much better team then we showed todayI wouldn't be surprised if the Ravens represent the AFC in the Superbowl. They are that good. The positive from this game is that they Seahawks now know they have a lot of work to do. There is time to get better. I expect them to thoroughly steamroll the Commanders next Sunday. One thing PC teams have shown is their bounce back from tough losses the following week. While I'm disappointed in the way they played today, I'm not as angry as I was when they blew the game against the Rams in week 1.
The Seahawks lost this game because the O line got their ass kicked in the trenches. That Ravens D is a VERY special D.
Why everybody thinks it's Geno's fault is beyond me. It's just stupidity... the Hawks rushed 15 for 28 yards and that's Geno's fault?
Yeah Geno had an INT but it didn't affect the game as the Seahawk D took it right back Geno was sacked 4 times for 38 yards but the pressures he got were enormous!
TOP was 40 min Ravens ,20 min Seahawks that why the Seahawks gave up so many points because they were on the field for way more than they should have.
Did Geno have his best game ... no he did not but what do you really expect a QB to do under that amount of pressure?
Hawks got there ass kicked from a better team... it happens this is the NFL..
This loss doesn't matter. Learn from it and move on.
What matters is how they play down the stretch...
LTH
What about the defense giving up 37 points? No matter how bad your offense is, that is really, really bad.
