Same Story, Different Year for Seahawks on the Road in Playoffs

Ok, here is why I am so disappointed in the Seahawks right now. Despite the obvious of their season being over, the first half of the NFC Divisional game against Green Bay seemed awfully too familiar.

The 2012 Atlanta playoff game seemed like a carbon copy of what yesterday's painful heart breaker to the Packers. Slow start followed by a spark of hope only to fall one drive short. In both games, the home team had doubt that they could win in the playoffs also.

I get it though, in the last decade the Seahawks have become a model franchise in the NFL. The only problem is be continue to have slow starts week after week? We barely beat the Bengals in Week 1 and the tight games are way to damaging to my blood pressure especially if we have a Top 5 QB in the NFL.

We need to change our offensive playbook completely. Penny and Carson are not explosive enough for us to establish the run every game. It is not needed unless we are the underdog in. We are not usually underdogs and therefore, we need to use the run after the pass.

Secondly, we need Russell Wilson to turn into the Lamar Jackson type. He can't be afraid to scramble. I understand he is putting himself at risk for injury but designed 10 yard runs by Wilson should really open up the wide receivers. The offense makes it look so easy some drives and painfully hard to watch on other drives.

Our defense was hit and miss all year and that is concerning considering where we have came from. It's a long wait until the draft which sucks because I really want to see what changes this team makes.

Just super hard watching a team that can't win on the road in the playoffs unless the opposing teams QB gets hurt or kicker misses a chip shot field goal.

I honestly think our culture is stale but that is a pretty unpopular opinion. Let's be honest though. I think Wilson has a 30% chance at winning a Super Bowl again in Seattle. Not odds I enjoy.
