Short yardage w/SoCal Seahawk - Robert English

The Seattle Seahawks find themselves in "Pole" position in the NFC West, leading into week 8, after a convincing victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. As we near the halfway point, if this season has taught us anything, it's that we have no idea what to expect.

All offense, all the time!!! The Seahawks go punch for punch with the Detroit Lions, and come out on top. Final score 48-45. Rashaad Penny took center stage rushing for over 150 yards. Defense?... Yeeeah...
 

The Atlanta Falcons were just out of reach all day on Sunday afternoon. So was the game. The Seahawks squandered multiple opportunities to take control, and ultimately paid for it in the end.
Will the Seahawks find themselves this season?

After two weeks of football, the Seattle Seahawks have gone from an emotional high, to a tragic low. Pete Carroll's team held Russell Wilson to modest numbers and defeated the former Seahawk QB in his Week 1 homecoming. An amazing feat matched only by a monumental failure against the 49ers the following week. The team from Santa Clara moved the ball with ease, as the Seattle offense failed to score a single point.

Celebrations were aplenty at Lucas Oil Field on Sunday. The NFL and its fans celebrated each others return, and the Seahawks celebrated, possibly, their most dominating performance in recent years. Efficient was the "Word of the day" with Russell Wilson throwing 4 TD passes, while only throwing 5 incompletions on the day.

Offensive issues continue as Seattle goes 1 and done, falling to the very team they beat to take the Division crown. Far more questions than answers, as the team prepares for the off-season. In a word... Disappointing.   

After a regular season full of scrutiny and questioning from all directions, the Seahawks validate earlier moves. Passing on Jadeveon Clowney, resigning Pete Carroll, giving up picks for Jamal Adams, bringing in Carlos Dunlap. All decisions that were questioned by the pundits. Per usual, Seattle finds themselves right in the thick of the race for a Lombardi trophy.

The Seahawks get back to their winning ways on Thursday Night, taking down the division rival Cardinals. Not an overly-impressive performance by Seattle, but shows if you give Russell Wilson just a bit of help, he can take you the rest of the way.
