This conversation is way overdue!
More Xs and Os guys keep it coming. Less bickering and pissing contests, please.
Props to Twisted--get out of my head! you're saying a lot of the things that I think many Seahawk fans are frustrated by every Sunday and the past few seasons. Our eyes are telling us one thing but what we're seeing on the field is leaving us with so many what the?????!!!!!! moments!
It feels like they are more than content to just punt and put the defense back out on the field. It seems everyone but the staff knows we no longer have an elite defense. So why not up the offensive game? So frustrating to watch week in and week out.
There are several reasonable explanations of why, in the now, they aren't upping the offensive game.
1. Talent ain't there across the board individually make the sum larger than the parts in many if not most positions
2. Coaching less capable in upping the passing offense at least, either intrinsically due to their aptitude or overriding strategic imperatives they hold near and dear.
3. Stress testing the defense more with less experience on the field. Iron sharpens Iron?
4. By the same token, trying to instill comfort within the offense to execute the designs and plans better on offense.
And there are probably a few more I'm not thinking of right now.
Some of these make sense overall but doesn't excuse lack of execution or tactical design in the now. Some of these might lessen over time. Some seem intractable. Part of the fun of the season journey we sign on for is seeing improvements in places.
