There really is no getting around the idea that if the Seattle Seahawks have any hope of being in playoff contention this season, the offense has to be significantly better than what we’ve seen through two weeks. Even league-average feels like major progress compared to Monday night against the Chicago Bears.
In fairness to Seattle, they’ve started out with consecutive road games, and you have to go back to 2013 for literally the only time in the Pete Carroll era that the Seahawks have prevailed in a September road game. Sunday’s home opener is against the Dallas Cowboys, the very team Seattle’s final win of the 2017 season came against.
