12’s Seattle Seahawks fans support is all over the Pacific Northwest waterfront and out on the water! A northwest common bond is our love for the Hawks! The last few Seahawks games haven’t been great for the Seattle Seahawks offense, Oooo lordy, nobody is arguing that after producing just one offensive touchdown in the past two games. But what players and coaches are quite confident of seven games into the season is that their offense isn’t broken or fatally flawed, but rather just some small adjustments and better health away from turning a corner.
Hawks Coach Pete Carroll has been quoted by saying, “I’m counting on us taking a turn here and things picking back up for all the obvious reasons. Russell Wilson is getting better, that’s a big deal. We’re really glad to see him feel better be able to do more and all that. That’s a big part of it, but we have to execute better, as well. We’ve got to give our guys a good chance to unload, and that’s what we’re hoping to do in the next few weeks, and I hope it will be obvious.”
12’s Fans have Superbow faith in our PNW team! By this time in the season, QB Wilson is known to tell anyone who would listen that the offense was on the verge of taking off, and while it might not have been easy for people to see while Wilson was under near constant pressure in the first half of the season, the offense, and the passing game in particular, exploded in the second half of the season. This year, Wilson sees the potential for his team to make a dramatic turnaround once again.
Anything is possible in football, at the midway point last season, the Seahawks ranked 24th in points scored, 19th in total offense and 28th in passing offense. Their running game was better than it has been this year, but otherwise, just like this year, the Seahawks offense was the topic of a lot of criticism as it looked for ways to turn things around. By the end of the season, however, the Seahawks ranked fourth in the NFL both in scoring and yards gained, Thomas Rawls, RB led the NFL in rushing yards per attempt, and Wilson led the league in passer rating.
Time to make it happen for the Hawks! – Coach Carroll says, “Just through the history that we have before we got here, we’ve been that way, I have some thoughts about that, but I don’t really have it nailed. But I count on it now. I do really count on us improving and getting better as we get down the stretch. The closer we get to the finish the better we want to play. That’s kind of how we constructed our mentality and it’s worked out pretty well. Here we are right now, we’re not even at the halfway point until after this week, but I think it’s time to kick into that mode, it’s time to go. Hopefully we’ll see something happen.” Go Hawks!
