Losing Earl Thomas to a broken leg crushed the Seattle Seahawks’ championship dreams this season. The dominant defense fell apart, and the offense was never going to be able to pick up the slack. It wasn’t just a talent issue though, the coaches set the defense up to fail.
Ok, hear me out on this before you rush to the comments section to call me crazy. (I may be crazy, but you need to read through this before you tell me.)
Seattle’s defense was obviously a shadow of its former self after Earl Thomas was injured.
