3 takeaways from Seattle Seahawks disappointing Week 2 loss

Tell-the-truth Mondays
September is the most unpredictable month of football. We see upsets occur throughout the league. Heck, just in Week 2, the Raiders beat the Steelers on the road. The Texans were going toe-to-toe with the Browns until Tyrod Taylor got hurt. The Ravens gave Patrick Mahomes his first-ever career September loss. The point is don’t overreact to a loss within the first four weeks of the season.
While most refer to the day after Sunday, overreaction Monday, the Seahawks call, it tell-the-truth Monday’s. So, what is the truth?
The truth is the offense hasn’t even touched the surface. Every single week will present new challenges for this Seattle offense. They are still learning about themselves and more importantly, Shane Waldron is learning what works best for this offense. If the offense struggles late in December, it’s a problem. But, some offensive struggles in Week 2 with a brand new coordinator are expected.
The truth is this was a bad loss. But, that doesn’t mean this is a bad team or this is a sign of bad things to come. In fact, losses like this are quite beneficial for a team like Seattle. They are really important learning moments. It almost serves as an identity builder moving forward. It will allow this team to pride themselves on never blowing a lead again. It presents challenges to a young locker room. The adversity they will feel and face this week will only allow them to bloom larger later in the year.

The truth is the best is ahead. Despite what the media will say about Seattle, let’s make sure we understand this basic concept: everything Seattle wants is still ahead. The Seahawks season didn’t end yesterday. Their hopes of winning the division didn’t end yesterday. The reality is this team is just getting started. As the late Trevor Moawad would say, I believe in number 3. I believe in Russell Wilson.
