The defense has been absolutely great ... until the fourth quarter rolls around and as much as I hate searching for silver linings there was one in this UW defeat.
The quality of Seattle's defense is not surprising to me. The performance of starting quarterback Sam Darnold, however, has been better than expected.
Before we get to Russell Wilson being benched in New York, I've got a confession to make about my actions during last night's Mariners game.
Special teams was exactly that, the penalty parade has been halted and the single biggest strength of this defense can be found in the middle of the D-line.
A $15 spell saved the Mariners' season, which is great. College football's "Great Reshuffling" ruined the Apple Cup, which is not great.
Turns out Seattle remains totally capable of playing utterly insane, absolutely non-sensical games. How exactly did all that happen?
The Seahawks secondary is deeper than we thought and Seattle's top receiver is playing as well as anyone could have hoped.
Russell Wilson is leading the NFL in passing yards while Geno Smith has been intercepted more often than anyone.
Russell Wilson wasn't blamed for the egg the Giants laid in their season-opener, but that's part of the problem: No one is expecting anything from him here.
Original insights into the Seattle Seahawks.
Upon further review, the Seattle Seahawks should have gone for it on fourth-and-1 instead of settling for a field goal.
You think 10 losses in the last 12 road games is gonna' break my spirit? My constitution has been steeled through decades of futility.
