1. Coaching. The mantra of "you don't win in the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter you win in the 4th" as a excuse for our slow starts over the years drives me nutts. We are NOT winning the 4th quarter in all 5 losses. The lack of discipline for the last 3 years in leading the league in penalties we have gotten away with until now. The penalties killed 5 consecutive offensive drives of 1 and 20 or 25. This offense with this OLine cannot put together enough consistent positive plays to make up that ground.
2. John Snyder deserves some critique for his decisions to draft early round WR the last two years, sacrificing multiple picks, trading for big names that don't pan out and failing to put together a competent offensive line.
3A. Kris Richard has been a huge let down from what the Defense was the previous 4 years under the two previous Defensive coaches. The legion of Boom is no more as they are not playing complimentary football anymore.
3B. Russell Wilson, damn it I hate to say it but he has been disappointing in his play and decision making this year. Its not helped by the poor Offensive line that is for sure. But still we expect more from the guy that demanded TOP DOLLAR.
