For lowest rush attempts as a Seattle Seahawk...
Lynch inexcusably had just 6 carries yesterday which was probably the biggest factor of why we lost that game since we made no effort to establish our dominant run game to help keep the Defense off of that 100 degree frying pan of a field...
I finally got tired of not knowing the stats of how many carries Lynch has had per game throughout his career so I looked it up:
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LyncMa00/gamelog/
I'm putting the Conclusion up top since it's kinda hard to read the season by season analysis I did for this kind of thing...
CONCLUSION:
With the Bills Lynch only had 6 games (out of a total of 48) with 6 or less rush attempts. This means Lynch ran for 6 or less attempts in only 12.5% of his Buffalo Bills games. Of those 6 games they lost 4 times and it seems they were preparing to trade Lynch which would explain his low attempt totals. None of those games came in his 1st 2 seasons where he had a low of 18 his Rookie season and 9 in his 2nd.
With the Seahawks Before the Chargers game yesterday Lynch had only 1 game (out of a total of 59 games) with 6 or less rush attempts (he had 6). This means Lynch ran for 6 or less attempts in only .0179% of Seattle Seahawks games...
Including the Chargers game from yesterday Lynch has rushed for 6 or less attempts in 2 games (out of a total of 60 games). This means Lynch ran for 6 or less attempts in only .0333% of Seattle Seahawks games...
The result of those 2 games:
2011 Week 2: 0-24 loss @ Pittsburgh
2014 Week 2: 21-30 loss @ San Diego in a game we have less than 18 minutes time of possession...
What does it mean? What we saw yesterday was a historically low amount of carries for Lynch as a Seahawk, it tied his lowest carry total with us... I don't know why we did it, but it was a very bad decision.
And here's my sloppily organized analysis of each of his seasons, it's so bad I put conclusion at top
2007 Buffalo Bills:
Lowest carry total was 18, happened twice they lost both those games.
2008 Buffalo Bills:
Lowest carry total was 9, happened once and they lost.
2009 Buffalo Bills:
Lowest carry total was 1, happened once and they won. He also had other notable lows of 3 carries (twice), and 6 carries (once).
2010 Buffalo Bills:
Lowest carry total was 3, happened once and they lost. In his final game for the Bills he had 4 attempts and they lost.
2010 Seattle Seahawks:
Lowest carry total was 7, happened twice and they lost.
2011 Seattle Seahawks:
Lowest carry total was 6, happened once and they lost. He also had a game with 8 carries that they lost. Out of the Seahawks 7 wins that season, 6 of them came in games where Lynch ran the ball 19 or more times.
2012 Seattle Seahawks:
Lowest carry totals were 10 and 11 both of those happened in one game. These games were blowouts 50-17 and 58-0 so we were clearly resting him in gauranteed wins. His next lowest total was 12 carries when we lost. Lynch had 18 or more carries in 12 of our games that season.
2013 Seattle Seahawks:
Lowest carry total was 8 which happened once. In 15/16 games Lynch ran at least 16 times in our Super Bowl Season...
2014 Seattle Seahawks:
Lowest carry total so far was 6 and we lost... let's hope we don't make the same mistake :les:
