5 things Seattle Seahawks need to fix in the bye week

2nd quarter scoring
So, this is weird. While the Seahawks are off to faster starts offensively than normal in the first quarter, they kind of stink in the second quarter. Seattle gets an early lead and ends up winning the game because they rock and stuff, but then if they only scored more points once an opponent adjusts to what they are doing things could be so much better!
Here is why Seattle gets a lead. First, quarterback Russell Wilson is great. Secondly, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is good at preparing his offense. Third, receivers D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett and Chris Carson and Duane Brown are amazing. Then, teams adjust.
In doing so, the Seahawks have to then re-adjust. This happens in the fourth quarter. Isn’t this why every Seahawks game ends up like this: Seattle leads early! The Seattle still leads at halftime but hmmm…Wait! It’s the third quarter and the other team is catching up! Then, Oh thank goodness we won by scoring some in the fourth quarter!
Seattle scores an average of less-than-a-touchdown in the second quarter. That needs to be fixed to make the game easier for Seattle and its 12s in the second half.
