The Seattle Seahawks' Week 1 loss was not Sam Darnold's fault. Did he fumble on the team's final drive, basically ending the game? Yes, but only because he unexpectedly had a right tackle pushed in his face. The fumble shouldn't be blamed on Darnold.
Neither was the team only scoring 13 points. Seattle offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak called a conservative game, and the only wide receiver able to get open was Jaxon Smith-Njigba. All of that does not portend better things this season.
Kubiak might be more creative as a play-caller, but Darnold still might only have JSN to toss a pass to.
