I was yelling from the highest rooftops I could find for all my friends to take Seattle in their survivor pools. This was the easiest pick of the whole week, and that must feel nice as a Seahawk fan. While you said if Bo Nix could get comfortable there would be trouble, and that is correct, was he ever going to be able to get comfortable?
This was not an inspiring Seahawk performance on the offensive side, but nevertheless was a fairly easy victory. The one thing that can be taken from it is Geno got sacked just twice on 35 drop backs. This is pretty good for a man who loves to get sacked as much as Geno.
As far as the defensive performance, who knows against a rookie QB? The Hawks were stout against the rush also, but without a real threat of the pass I'm not sure if that means much either. Much more will be learned in week two when Seattle must go on the road to face a much better offence led by a Jacoby Brissett who is likely a top-half QB and a rush game that just hurt the Bengals pretty badly.
Agreed. Offensive line performance was bad bad that first half. Apparently according to Devon Witherspoon, much of the defensive playbook remains under wraps. Probably preserving a few things for division play.
What's your confidence level on the blowout? I'd predict the same...

That makes sense. No reason to open things up against a Denver offence that's likely to play very badly even against base.
Love the conversation. Here is more to chew on! https://www.seatownsports.org/p/5-takeaways-from-seahawks-broncos
"While Pete Carroll is undeniably the best coach in Seattle sports history" <--- Wow! How about a top ten all-time list please?? =)
Good idea!
