The defense gave up FOUR 80 yard TD drives....this loss has NOTHING to do with the OL. Take the blinders off.

Seattle's inability to establish the run is directly impacting the defense's ability to close out games. Marshawn went 17 carries for 54 yards. Jonathan Stewart went 20 for 78. 3 YPC to nearly 4 YPC.

Seattle needs to run the ball to help stop the run, and the meltdowns late in games.

The were able to get back to it after the Panther game last year.

I was at each of the last three Carolina games here in Charlotte. Each really were tough battles. Surprisingly, this is the best Seattle has looked in any of the games, aside from the playoffs.

So... establish the run, and we will see the defense solidify. At least that is my premise.

What say you?

I get it. However, in the past, Seattle's offense was able to run over a tired team in the 4Q. Now, with all the finesse, the D that is tired is Seattle's.

It is just a premise.

What is your premise to fix the D? You clearly understand it is a problem. Do you offer a solution?
