Here is a harsh, but I believe accurate assement of the Seahawks current state. The Seahawks aren’t going anywhere

So much is wrong currently but you have to start with the offense.
I can’t recall a unit so poorly managed as this. Going into the season it looked like a major strength. They had exciting skill-players everywhere. They had a veteran quarterback. The offensive line received investment including a top-10 pick at left tackle. Everything was set up.
Instead of being a strength the offense is a disaster.
The route concepts are so painfully basic. They fail to challenge opponents with any serious misdirection or creativity. They spent two second round picks on the running back position and it’s an afterthought in the offense.
D.K. Metcalf is regressing badly. Geno Smith has regressed badly. They don’t know how to involve the tight ends in the passing game. Tyler Lockett isn’t being used enough.
They get almost no push up front with the offensive line and they’re being bullied most weeks.
Third downs? Awful, week after week. Red zone offense? As bad as you’ll ever see.
The whole thing is broken.
How could they come out in this game against a common opponent and not have anything to throw at them? They started the game with a quarterback draw from a QB who’d spent the entire week nursing an injury. If it wasn’t a draw and simply a blown play, what does that say for the organisation of the offense if you botch your first offensive play in a scripted series?

Are the players that bad, or could this be one of the biggest coaching failures of all time?
