I like Purdy but his type of play isn't sustainable against great defenses.
He used his checkdowns but the game got outta hand anyway for a variety of reasons.
I felt like they gave the check-downs last game, he took them and we were constantly ending up short of the sticks. because that defense has the speed and tackling to close really quick. Also we tend to use our underneath routes more as decoys anyways .I feel like Seattle knows exactly what we want to do, and has a unit with the players and discipline to execute it. We want those defenders crashing down, so we can go right over the top of them on the intermediate stuff, but they just don't allow it. And it begins when they shut down our run game. This game felt like we tried to do the exact same thing on offense and got the exact same results. The offense has been so bad on all levels e these past two games against the Seahawks, it is hard to even evaluate it.
