I think today was a reality check. The past few weeks was all unicorns, fudge sundaes and rainbows. Today was a reality check. Stop reading the clippings about how much improved you are and fight for every down, every game.
This team looked flat, uninspired. The opening drive was the outlier unfortunately. We looked outclassed many times, AT HOME when we had every reason to play inspired football being the first home game since Paul Allen's passing. Hell, even they simulated Paul raising the flag!!
Russell usually has one stinker per year. He sure chose a poor game to have his stinker. He made plays here and there but he just didn't play anywhere near his best today. Bad throws, horrible sacks...Very disappointing. The defense showed their youth in the first half but to their credit really buckled down in the second half. Still, losing Carson was an issue but the offense never looked fully in synch and that whole "Impose Your Will" they have been displaying with unapologetic prowess this past month? Nowhere to be found today.
The Seahawks looked like the Week 1/2 Seahawks today. Not the Seahawks we have been watching in recent weeks and what a shame.
Hat's off to the Chargers. They are a LEGIT contender in the league and they came into our house and made it look relatively easy.
Sigh.
