NFL.com Seahawks Takeaways v Bucs

[hugecanoli]

Tough loss, but the sky is not falling. Even NFL.com noticed:

1. Seattle makes a statement in defeat. The average fan might not have spent much time monitoring what Mike Macdonald's team has been doing over the last month, but a thrilling game like this is sure to elevate it from prior anonymity. Seattle is for real, folks, and proved it by going toe to toe with a strong Buccaneers squad over four quarters. Sam Darnold produced a masterful performance, completing 28 of 34 passes for 341 yards and four touchdowns, and if Logan Hall hadn't deflected an under-pressure Darnold pass late in the fourth, he might have marched the Seahawks down the field to a walk-off win. Instead, the Seahawks leave the field with the bitter taste of defeat, but have sent a message to the rest of the NFL: Take us seriously. We're only just getting started (even if the defense needs to fix some things).

That is an awesome take.

Pretty much what everyone is saying isn't it? "Defense needs to fix some things?"

Offense rocked / defense sucked.

Seahawks are moving in the right direction competing with the upper level teams of the NFC.
