Seahawks vs Packers: Takeaways from the blowout loss
By Keith Myers
There wasn’t much to like from the Seahawks today as poor play on both sides of the ball lead to an embarrassing 38-10 loss at the hands of the Green Bay Packers.
The Seattle Seahawks laid a frozen egg in Green Bay today. No, that isn’t a reference to that Disney Princess movie. It was cold, and the Seahawks played terribly on route to a 38-10 blowout loss.
You know that cliche’ about “if you don’t have anything nice to say…” well, lets just get straight to my takeaways from the blowout loss:
1. Where’s the pass rush?
After being in the top 5 in the league in sacks all season, the Seahawks went over 2.5 games without one. Without pressure, Aaron Rodgers picked about Seattle’s coverage.
When the Seahawks did finally get a sack against an injured Rodgers, it was a coverage sack by run-stuffing NT Ahtyba Rubin. Seattle’s trio of pass rushers came up completely empty again.
Michael Bennett, Frank Clark, and Cliff Avril were complete no-shows in this game. When that happens, Seattle’s defense is going to struggle.
