Link - Russell Wilson best 2nd Quarter QB in the league

Fieldgulls article:

Despite the Seahawks terrible 2nd quarter reputation, apparently RW is kicking ass in said quarter.

Despite a reputation for the team not having enough quarters to play a game of Metroid this year, at least one player is better than anyone else in the NFL in the period before the half.

Thats cool, but its the definition of cherry picking stats.

Since when does Metroid cost a quarter?

Obviously. Author said as much but it is interesting given how horribly our defense has performed in the 2nd quarter. Completely overshadowed how well Russell has played while that was going on.

Wait - we have a horrible defense based on 2nd quarter stats? 0.o

I think they're saying our defense has been bad in the 2nd quarter of games. Not that our defense is bad.

This was actually more interesting to me (while we're cherry picking stats):

"Still, he has six touchdowns this year that has given Seattle the lead and a seventh that tied the Buccaneers at 24-24. There has been only one instance all season long where Wilson threw a touchdown and Seattle wasn't leading after the score -- Week 9's win over the Bucs."


Read that again: Wilson has only thrown one TD all year that hasn't given the Seahawks the lead. Now, I'm sure Marshawn has ran some in that haven't given us the lead, but that goes to show how close most of our games are, and that, in fact, we're really not playing from behind all year like some people think. We're playing with a lead more often than not, and with our run game, it's not hard for us to hold that lead.
