Seattle Seahawks: Is It Time To Stop Russell Wilson From Cooking?

After the Seattle Seahawks’ worst offensive performance of the Russell Wilson era, Pacificnwsports.com’s Andrew Elderbaum wonders if it’s time to close Chef Russ’s kitchen.
I used to believe that the definition of insanity was to repeat the same actions expecting different results. After watching the Seattle Seahawks‘ debacle in Green Bay, I now know that definition was incorrect. Consistently expecting to close your eyes and hurl a football into the sky and assuming you will complete the pass more than 30 percent of the time is truly insane.
Russell Wilson is literally a mad bomber out on the field, and I can’t take it anymore. The short and intermediate routes were open all night. Tight Ends Gerald Everett and Will Dissly were moving the chains, and running back, Alex Collins looked solid again.
Every time the offense seemed to be building momentum, Russ forced a bad pass to a covered receiver and killed the Seahawks’ drive. This game was an example of the defense taking what the offense gave them.
Tyler Lockett hasn’t scored since Week 2, while D.K. Metcalf has more fights than 100-yard games in 2021. The offense has looked broken all season, and I don’t foresee a magical change coming anytime soon. It’s not for lack of talent, and you can only blame the scheme for so much.
The coaches can’t force Russ to make the correct read or throw to the open man. When Tony Romo is joking about you completing deep balls to the other team, well, that’s not a good thing.
#Packers Adrian Amos is one of the most reliable safeties in the game. That interception was simply beautiful.
