Good morning all, and welcome back for Part II of this week’s Neanderball column, featuring the second half of the Seattle Seahawks’ dispiriting loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
This week’s thesis is that Russell Wilson is not currently playing great football, and that while Russ is so good that the Hawks can still win games when he’s stuck in second gear, the rest of the team needs to be there to pick up the slack. That didn’t happen either (he said, throwing burnt entrees Gordon Ramsay-style at the players responsible for pass blocking and pass catching).
