Didn't see the OP "dissing" the defense. He just asked a perfectly reasonable question about Seattle being one of only three teams that haven't forced a turnover.
Back on point: a big part of this is slow starts on offense, both in games and in seasons. It seems like you can count on Seattle's offense looking like shit in the first quarter of a season (or more), and in the first two or three quarters of many games. It seems that Pete & Co. either can't correct it, or are totally comfortable with it. Which is both understandable given recent success, and incredibly frustrating.
When the Hawk offense doesn't score points, there's not much pressure on the opposing offense to push the ball down the field.
I am not singling out the OP, the comment was directed at what I saw as a collective criticism that we are not "aggressive" enough. We are currently giving up 250 ypg and 9.5 ppg. That is an NFL record-setting pace.
