This is actually kind of encouraging.

7. Drew Brees
8. Tony Romo
9. Matt Ryan
10. Russell Wilson
Wilson's receivers aren't winning one-on-one battles. Jermaine Kearse and Doug Baldwin only give Wilson tight windows to throw to, and Wilson often leaves the pocket when someone doesn't break free. There were a surprising amount of miscommunication and throws against Oakland where the intended receiver wasn't even clear. His pass protection was poor, and his best plays were screens. The Seahawks' line is banged up and the return of tight end Zach Miller will help immeasurably.
To put it another way: The Seahawks defense essentially handed Wilson 20 free points Sunday. And yet the Raiders still kept the game competitive in Seattle.
