Reasons for Optimism

The offense is going somewhere new, somewhere good. Wilson is finding open receivers in under two seconds with consistency in each of the last two games.

While I still feel that Lynch is a critical part of our team, putting the emphasis on the passing game has allowed our backup RBs to look better. Put Turbin or Michael on the Broncos and they are stars. It has yet to be seen if they can thrive as "the guy" on a run first team, but on a pass to set up the run type of team they can be assets for sure.

Our defense is surviving right now. But even in such a state, Seattle can still win games if they control things on offense. I'm not sure if this recipe will work in the playoffs, but it might get Seattle to the playoffs.

Before people continue to just whip around Irvin.. Bennett has probably been worse and has more penalties then Irvin and Avril..I agree with the OP. Our offense will start to get things worked out, now that the man child is gone. It means we can move the ball around more and get guys in there who want in and will contribute
