Based on history, Seahawks lost opener in worst way possible

It was just about the worst result the Seahawks could have asked for. A defensive gem mixed with an offensive dud that led to a 17-9 Packers win.

You know what would have been better? A 37-9 Packers win. Then at least both sides of the ball would cringe throughout Monday’s film session.

But given the recent history of this football team, Sunday’s loss was more dangerous than a blowout or shootout would have been. At a certain point — if it hasn’t happened already — the defense is going to tire of carrying the Seahawks.
