Now we are dissing the defense? That is stepping over the line, this defense is #1 in the NFL in both yardage and points allowed.
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.
