Funny, I posted this exact same comment from Holmgren when asked of his opinion on the 2017 oline prior to the start of the season.
Now here it is again. That is what has people so upset...not just the loss itself.
Well at least Pete made it to step 1 yesterday....admitting the problem. Further than he made it last year up until the end.

The Seahawks tried to help their linemen by keeping tight ends Jimmy Graham and Luke Willson into chip block, sometimes on the same play. They did the same with Carson, fullback Tre Madden, even third-down back C.J. Prosise. Graham didn’t get his $40 million contract that’s ending this season by blocking. Prosise was a wide receiver at Notre Dame until two years ago. That’s how needy the Seahawks were for more blocking.
Problem was, when Seattle kept them in to help the linemen it often left four or as few as three eligible receivers running routes down the field. The six or seven Packers defensive backs and linebackers often didn’t have to be much more than serviceable to effectively cover Seahawks receivers seven on three.
