First take; Seahawks lose to horrible team, looking at lost season

The Seattle Seahawks lost to the Rams today….again. Things don’t look good for a team that fancied themselves a Super Bowl Contender.

Let’s get right to the point, while the wound is still fresh.

The Seattle Seahawks are not a good football team, and this is completely unacceptable.

After a pathetic 9-3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams today, Seattle sits at 1-1. That doesn’t sound so horrible does it, especially considering they went 0-2 to open the 2015 campaign yet still made the playoffs?

Oh it’s horrible alright.

Here’s a fact….. the Los Angeles Rams are a bad football team. I mean REALLY bad. For all that’s made of their good defensive line, there’s not another position group on their roster that any other NFL General Manager would take over his.

Not even the Cleveland Browns General Manager…. Think about that.

The Seahawks looked inept today. On nearly every snap, the play clock was threatening 0:00. Did they not practice? Their clock management on the last, potentially game-winning drive was particularly horrible. They wasted nearly 20 seconds after their first play from scrimmage.

“Offensive Coordinator” Darrell Bevell is one of the foils of this horrendous start. His inability to use his personnel properly is a massive puss-filled sore that stands in the forefront of what ails this team. He’s got an athletically gifted, statistically accomplished 6’7″ former basketball player at tight end (Jimmy Graham) and yet through the first half we saw him line up as a blocker (something he’s terrible at) more often than in the slot or out wide where he can create mismatches and force the Rams defense into changing their game plan.

But there’s a bigger nemesis here, one that no one wants to talk about. The elephant in the room. Shhhhhhhhhh…but I’m about to go there.

The biggest villain in the poor construction of this team is none other than heretofore beloved General Manager John Schneider.
