Seahawks Struggle On Offense Again

Last week against the Arizona Cardinals, the Seahawks struggled on offense and ultimately ended up tying the Cardinals at 9. Well, the offense struggled again in New Orleans and this time it resulted in a loss, a 25-20 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

Russell Wilson and the rest of the offense was again a problem for this team. They couldn't keep pressure off of Wilson, so Wilson had to show off his leg in order to find an open receiver and that complicated matters because he got hit a lot in that game.

Right now, Wilson is not the fantasy quarterback everybody was hoping him to be. Instead, he's having trouble even getting open receivers. He threw for 253 yards and one interception in the loss, but only three carries on 11 yards, showing that he doesn't have enough protection or enough room to run.

Although Seattle has a 4-2-1 record, everybody is growing concerned about how well this team is playing right now. Everybody is saying they should have an offense that's equal to their defense and the fact of the matter is that's not the case right now. The Saints are not a great team and have been struggling at home as of late and the Seahawks just gave them another reason to stay alive in the NFL these days.

The Seahawks have got to find a way to overcome their struggling offensive line, whether it's through a trade or a line shuffle, or something else, because right now, it's not looking good. The Bills come into Seattle for a Week 9 Monday Night matchup next week and Buffalo has proven to play tough at times, although for this week, New England ran all over them for a big win. So Seattle's got to find their offensive groove. They almost lost it against Atlanta and Arizona and finally lost it at New Orleans.

The Seahawks are still a good team and a great team at home, but an offensive line must get better, no matter where it is, because the longer Wilson is getting hit and having to run a whole lot, the more likely he could be out because of injury or something else, and we already saw him leave the game injured a couple of times.
