Seattle Seahawks: 6 takeaways from 44-34 loss at Buffalo
Give it away
Seattle is just the team that keeps on giving… yards and points, that is. Normally, they give away all the passing yards a team desires. Sunday, the Seahawks added turnovers. Oh, they gave up 415 passing yards, but it was the pair of picks Wilson threw in addition to his two lost fumbles that sealed his team’s fate.
Knockout
On a day when only one comeback was successful in the NFL, it wasn’t the Seattle Seahawks who pulled it off. Sure, they got back into the game and made Buffalo sweat for five minutes (actually 5;33), but that was about all. The Seahawks pulled within a touchdown at the end of the third quarter before Buffalo ripped off 14 unanswered points to effectively put the game to bed. If anything, that was a good lesson in how to finish off a team at the end of a game. Something the Seahawks failed to do all season.
Don’t quit
At least there was a glimmer of hope. After an atrocious first half from the Seattle Seattle offense, they picked it up in the second half. This is a resiliency 12s like to see, along with a never give up attitude. As mentioned previously, the Seahawks gave a glimmer of hope of turning the disaster into a win, albeit briefly. Subsequently, Carson’s return will help take some pressure off of Wilson and balance the offense. I fear that Pete Carrol and Brian Schottenheimer return to days of offense’s past with more runs and less #LetRussCook.
There are more games and hopefully better days ahead for the Seahawks. Sunday, was not Seattle’s day. If they don’t make major adjustments on defense at this point, Sunday could be a precursor of future days.
TOUCHDOWN David Moore!
The Bills lost contain and Russell Wilson found him deep for a long 55-yard touchdown. Clear lost in assignment for the Bills. #Seahawks pic.twitter.com/vgLhCosQ5v
