Seahawks grades versus Chargers in unsettling loss

The Seahawks lost to the Chargers on Sunday 25-17. Seattle’s offense struggled but there were still some good things that came from the game. here are the grades.

Russell Wilson of the Seahawks played poorly on Sunday in Seattle’s loss to the Chargers. Let me get that out of the way first. The run defense was bad too as the Chargers averaged 7.3 yards per carry. But Michael Dickson was great (of course) and that is pretty much it.

I would like to say that linebackers Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright were excellent. And for some parts of the game, they were. But then they were part of the issue on Los Angeles running the ball so well. Of course, the linebackers did so well in coverage that they were a big reason the Chargers did not score in the second half.

Chris Carson started off well, but he left the game midway through the second quarter with an aggravated hip injury. Carson ran well but couldn’t run enough and the offense suffered because of it.

I wish I was able to grade the officials for the game. But doing so might seem like being a bad sport. That said, I am going to go ahead and be the bad sport and grade the refs with an F. I wish I could give them an F- but that grade doesn’t really exist. The officials had too many blown calls that it would take too much time to list them, but the glaring non-overturn of a Chargers touchdown when the receiver clearly stepped out of bounds is enough for one to doubt whether the replay system is not somehow rigged.

Here are the grades for Seattle’s football team, however.
