Seattle doesn't have Blake Bortles or Case Keenum at QB.
This is Russell Wilson.
16 Wilson passes @ 8.3 YPA vs
21 non-Wilson runs @ 2.8 YPC
One of the worst called games w a good QB I can remember.
You must adapt in-game. You did nothing. It's insulting to your players and fans. You LOST this game because of YOUR play calling.
You should have known that the Dallas pass defense ranked #31 in success rate the last month of the season.
But even if you did NO PREP to understand Dallas, how do you not adjust in-game?
The Seahawks RBs averaged 2.8 YPC on 21 runs.
In the 1st half on 1st downs, your:
• runs averaged 2.0 YPC
• passes averaged 14.5 YPA
and yet you kept running on 1st down in the 2nd half like it was +EV vs passing.
Your RB-run game gained 19 yards on 9 carries, 2.1 YPC. Your longest run was 5 yards.
And yet you came out the locker room on the 1st drive and went:
1st & 10: 1 yard RB-run
2nd & 9: 3 yard RB-run
3rd & 6: predictable pass
PUNT
1st down play calls on your first 4 drives of the 2nd half:
6 RB-runs: 3.9 YPC, 14% success rate
1 pass: 9 yards, 100% success rate
HOW. DO. YOU. DO. THIS. TO. YOUR. TEAM?
What did you do at halftime?
What did you study that made you think you’re giving your team a BETTER chance to win by calling RB-runs on 6 of 7 first downs to start the 2nd half?
🗣 YOU HAVE RUSSELL WILSON
Despite trailing called 12 RB-runs in the 2nd half.
Did you see something at halftime you thought you could exploit in the run game? Did you witness an epiphany? Or did you *hope* it would improve & your defense would do well?
•You knew ahead of time they had a good run D
•You have a very good QB
•He is healthy
•Game starts & you can't run
•The pass game is working
•You're losing all 2nd half
•You run early & often in the 2nd half
The fact you didn't adjust at halftime is inconceivable.
That cost you this game. Russell's arm could have won it. Pete, Brian: it's on you. Sorry #12s
