The Seahawks are not playing near the level of their back-to-back Super Bowl teams of 2013 and 2014. Seattle cannot run the ball. Their defense still gives up too many explosive plays. And now Richard Sherman has been lost for the year with injury. Earl Thomas is dealing with more and more injuries. And Russell Wilson should not have to be the entire offense, which he has been.
Plus, Seattle lost a game they should have won to the Washington Redskins. Seattle simply doesn’t do that. In second place in their division and chasing the Los Angeles Rams, the Seahawks may miss the playoffs.
