Very nice! Goes right along with the link I just posted to Jon Kitna talking about Russell Wilson!

But what about this most recent performance against the Saints? The Seahawks LOST that game because of Wilson's inaccuracy and lack of attempts. The entire passing game struggles cost us...
wait, what? We won?

With numbers like that you would think we were a power running team.

Key stat in all of that. 3 INT's in those ELEVEN wins.
If they need to throw the ball, they'll find a way to throw the ball. But if they don't need to. With this defense?! You do whatever it takes to WIN. Fantasy football season is over.

I love how "I am worried about our passing game when we need to pass" has turned into "YOU GUYS THINK WE NEED TO THROW THE BALL MORE AND RUN LESS?????"
This place just keeps going down the rabbit hole.

Do you also love how "I am worried about our passing game when we need to pass" turns into "Bevell sucks. Wilson's regressing. Our O-line sucks. Our WRs suck. Everything sucks. We're doomed."? :|

Stat totally makes sense. He throws that few passes, it probably means the team is playing from ahead, running the ball and being conservative. When he's throwing 30+ passes the Hawks are probably playing from behind. That being said, I think we are going to have to see more plays out of the passing game to win this time around.

RW doesn't call the plays. The OC has obviously had orders to go very conservative when leading by a couple of scores. Even in the playoffs there may be something to be gained by winning with a minimal number of plays from your playbook. If that's their course, the superb owl should include the entire play book and that would be really fun to see.

What's shocking to me is the surprise that Wilson doesn't throw more in a game with 40 mph winds and rain when we led the entire game and Lynch was a monster.

That's not what this post or thread is saying AT ALL. Chill. It's a response to the many fans out there who see small passing yardage or attempts and freak out for that reason alone.
You are just and valid in your concerns about the issues with the passing game in the scenarios you describe. Those are concerns. Not the fact that RW is throwing for low lardage. But keep in mind, your view isn't the majority of fans out there. Most people freaking over Wilson and the passing game aren't looking at things as complex or specified as you do. It's a much dumber, simplistic viewpoint. They want the ball thrown all over the place. They want big stats. It's the view that Brock Huard deals with on the radio and Twitter every day. They aren't specifically concerned with 3rd down passing efficiency or being varied in the passing attack. They just want big passing numbers. And that's why Brock pointed out this specific stat. He's not saying there aren't things to worry about. He's saying, you do whatever it takes to win the game. That's not a point against anything to do with needing to fine tune 3rd down passing.

This is what I have been alluding to for weeks. Our team is designed to win while passing for as little as possible. If we can win without throwing a pass then we would in a heartbeat. Lean on Marshawn and the defense.

Exactly. Just like last game, we had a healthy lead almost the entire game so we shifted into beastmode and chunked out a win based of field position and ball control. Absolutely no reason for Wilson to pass a ton in that one and about a dozen reasons NOT to (wind, rain, limit turnovers, etc).
I expect SF to be a little stouter against our run than NO was, and it's also looking like weather isn't going to be as big of a concern as last week, so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Russell sling it a little bit more, but I don't see them waivering too much from the gameplan (run, play good D, limit turnovers, priority on field position) unless something goes pretty wrong and SF gets up on us early. If Percy's good to go and plays all day, I can see Russell's passing numbers improving overall based on Percy's YAC on things like bubble screens, etc. but it won't change the gameplan. Those bubble screens etc. are very high percentage throws and are pretty much just really long handoffs.
