MAJOR ISSUES The Seattle Seahawks Must Fix Ahead Of Week 13 vs. Vikings

MAJOR ISSUES The Seattle Seahawks Must Fix Ahead Of Week 13 vs. Vikings

Welcome into a victorious Monday edition of Seahawks today. I am your host Will Ortner. And the Seahawks found a way to get a victory in Nashville on the road. Now, was it the cleanest game? No, I don’t think so. In fact, there are two things that we’re going to take a deep dive into that really frustrated me with the Seahawks in this game, but also are two frustrating things that I’ve seen pop up throughout the year on the Seahawks. What’s not frustrating? Seahawks victories. If you love it when the Seahawks win football games, they’ve been doing a lot of it this year. Go in and smash that thumbs up button. I love it when the Seahawks win. You love it when the Seahawk wins. Producer Coupe loves it when the Seahawks win. Smash that thumbs up button. Now, here are the big problems for me that I’m seeing with the Seahawks. It’s finishing games and finishing drives. What do I mean by that? It feels like the Seahawks have had multiple opportunities at the end of games to really put an opponent away and they haven’t done so. And then they’ve also had opportunities offensively to find a way to get into the end zone. And for whatever reason, whether it be penalties, mistakes, bad decision makingaking, they just don’t finish drives. First, I want to look at the finishing of football games. And we’re going to start in the offensive side of the football. In five of your last six games, your Seattle Seahawks, our Seattle Seahawks, have not scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter. How absolutely freaking brutal is that? That means aside from one game, the Seahawks basically went in and said, “Nah, we’re good. This is what our output is going to be.” Don’t believe me? Look at the last six games. We’ve got them up right here. Jacksonville Jaguars. Yeah, you won that game pretty comfortably. Didn’t score in the fourth quarter. Houston Texans, Monday Night Football, right before your by-week. People starting to get healthy. Didn’t score in the fourth quarter. for the Washington Commanders game. Of course, you had to have scored in the fourth quarter that one. Everybody was scoring in that game. Uh, nope. Didn’t score against them. Arizona Cardinals. I mean, shoot. Demarcus Lawrence scored two touchdowns by himself. Had to have scored in that one. No. Now, the Rams, you did score late. You didn’t score early enough, but you did score late. And then against the Tennessee Titans, you didn’t score in the fourth quarter against them either. So, we’re at a point where no points are being scored. Well, that’s only a problem if defensively you’re giving up points. You’re letting the other team go in and score. And when you look at the defensive side of the football, yeah, actually, they are giving up points in the fourth quarter. There has not been a single game this year where your opponent did not score in the fourth quarter. Not one game, not one game have the Seahawks kept the other teams from being out of the end zone in the fourth quarter. Does this worry you? Are you worried about how the Seahawks fourth quarter issues are starting to kind of pass now? I mean, shoot, five out of your last six, you haven’t scored a touchdown in the fourth. In every game this year in the fourth quarter, you’ve given up points. Does that worry you a little bit? Let me know down below in the comments because it worries me a little bit. I’ll be honest with you. Now, to be fair, because I have to be. I try to be impartial. Most of these games have been blowouts. I mean, come on. The Commanders game, that was a butt whooping. Jaguars game, you were in control. Uh, your biggest scoring output in the fourth quarter of a game was against the Pittsburgh Steelers. That’s where you really ran away with a victory there. It felt like and feels like in a lot of these games the Seahawks kind of took their foot off of the gas. They took their foot uh you know more so off the table. Hey, we don’t need to push down. We don’t need to go pedal to the metal because the Seahawks just keep winning. But I’ll tell you right now, and this is my take, it’s fine to not score when you’re blowing someone out. It’s not fine to not score and to not keep a team out of the end zone when you aren’t blowing them out. And while it never felt like the Titans were ever in any real danger of pushing you in this one, of getting a victory in this one, it definitely didn’t feel comfortable as you look at the end of this game. And these are things that keep coming up again and again and again. Defensively, you need to pitch a shutout in the fourth quarter against Minnesota or against Atlanta. Offensively, you better score touchdowns against both Minnesota and Atlanta. I don’t care how much you are up by because I’m sick and tired of the fourth quarters of games being weird, feeling funky, feeling murky. It’s got to get fixed. You have to fix it. I’m going to get into the finishing of drives here in just a moment, but before I do, I need to let you know that this episode is brought to you by Prize Picks. It is the holiday season, the best time of year for sports. Bowl games, basketball matchups, playoff pushes, it is all happening at once.

That’s code CLNS to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup. Price picks. It’s good to be right. Okay, so I already mentioned it. Your other big problem is finishing drives. You have been struggling in the last two games, especially early on, to finish drives in the end zone. Getting points is always good, but it could always be better. And I think that this game really illustrates what happened in the first half for the Seahawks. You had four straight scoring drives in the first half. Good. The problem, three out of the four are field goals. The first drive, drive all the way down, couple big catches, got to kick a field goal. Second drive, hey, big play by Jackson Smith and Jiggba. He runs himself all the way into the end zone. So, you don’t have to worry about finishing there. He does it all himself. He finishes in Nashville for you. Then on third down or your third drive, I should say, you drive down, you get close, you play around almost, you’re thinking about getting into the end zone, got to kick a field goal. And then the fourth drive. Now, some of this has to do with the end of the game, some clock management, end of the half, excuse me, clock management. But again, you don’t get into the end zone. So, instead of that game being, oh, I don’t know, 28-3, 16-3. 16-3 is a 13-point game. A 13-point game is only two scores. That feels a lot different than what it would have felt if it’s a 28-3 game. And this is multiple games in a Now, when you played the Los Angeles Rams, the Seahawks were not able to finish off drives in the end zone. It was your Achilles heel in that matchup, and it kept rearing its ugly head again and again and again. You need to finish drives in the end zone for multiple reasons. If the Seahawks go out and score those first four drives and you score touchdowns on all of them, even let’s say three, right? You’re up 24-3, the game’s done. Tennessee is packing up, giving in. They’re quitting. You put your entire foot on their throat and they give up. But instead, what do the Seahawks do? They kick a field goal. They kick a field goal. They kick a field goal. Then they get the ball to start the next half. Don’t go out and do anything really with it. Now the Titans feel like they’re back in this game. Didn’t cost you against the Titans, but it definitely cost you against the Rams. If that Shahed ball gets caught instead of Emanuel Forbes knocking it away, you win that football game. You just would have you would have won a a football game against the Rams. If you don’t get called for a holding penalty, you don’t kick a field goal against the Rams. You score a touchdown on Kenneth Walker, you win that game. The Titans aren’t the team that you measure up to. You don’t look at your performance against Tennessee and say, “Hey, well, this is where we’re at.” You measure your performance against the Rams. You measure your performance against a team like the Colts. You measure your performance against postseason teams. And when you play them, you better have your you know what ready to go. And if you don’t, you’re going to keep losing again and again and again. It’s so freaking frustrating with this team because all they have to do is just keep doing what they were doing to get down into the end zone in the first place. Great. The Seahawks performance. How do you do? How do you think the Seahawks did? scale one to 12. I think right now if I had to go in, I’d probably do a soft eight, maybe a hard seven. You know, one of those deals where it was pretty good for the most part, but there are some things that really popped up that continue to pop up week after week after week, and it cost the Seahawks in key games, in big games. You needed to stop costing the Seahawks soon. Make sure you go in, smash that like button for us. We always appreciate those of you who come in and like our videos.
