This is another Wheel of Cheese game for the Seahawks; I’m not even mad! Mostly because I’m so incensed about the Huskies’ loss on Saturday I still can’t even see straight. But, I mean, what can you be upset by with the Seahawks? Going for the field goal on 4th & short? A lazy, stupid pick-six? An even lazier, stupider fumble-six?

Let’s face it, there’s nothing the Seahawks could’ve done to win this game; they were outmatched in every facet. Which is weird because – until that pick-six – I thought the Seahawks were pretty well handing it to the Ravens. The defense was bending & not breaking – as is their wont – and the offense was moving the ball pretty well for two out of the first three drives.

Then, the pick-six happened, and it really deflated the balloon. The Seahawks should’ve led comfortably at halftime; instead they were lucky to tie it up on a last-second field goal.

From there, for the most part, the Ravens made adjustments and the Seahawks had no answers. The Seahawks just couldn’t get anything going. The receivers couldn’t get separation – mostly because the Ravens were mugging them constantly (but not quite enough to draw flags) – and Carson was starting to get bottled up. Just total physical dominance from the Ravens.

On the flipside, Lamar Jackson was the second coming of Jim Brown, Babe Ruth, and Wayne Gretzky all rolled into one out there. He could do no wrong, and if his tight end didn’t drop everything that came his way, they probably would’ve scored 40 in this one.

I don’t have a lot of bright spots for the Seahawks. No real silver linings. Tedric Thompson showed once again why he’s not a starter. On the flipside, Marquise Blair showed why he probably should be (particularly when McDougald returns and can slide into the free safety spot, relegating Thompson to the bench). Blair wasn’t dominant, but he made some plays.

I thought Clowney was all over the place, until finally the Ravens came to their senses, realized the Seahawks have no one else in their front seven, and double-teamed him throughout the second half. I thought K.J. Wright looked slow, I thought Bobby Wagner looked pretty mediocre, and I thought Mychal Kendricks looked invisible. The supposed strength of this defense really hasn’t done anything to earn their contracts.

Offensively, even discounting the fumble, D.K. Metcalf was more bad than good. Tyler Lockett was just okay, but clearly they were doing something with their coverage to render him inconsequential. And Russell Wilson had easily his worst game of the season, again even when you discount the pick-six, he just didn’t have that usual spark, and clearly couldn’t pick the team up on his back when the chips were down in the second half.

Look, it’s hard to go 4-0 against the AFC; I can’t remember the last time the Seahawks achieved it. The Ravens easily had their best defensive effort of the season; none of the games I’ve seen from them have looked NEARLY that amazing. And, once again, the team from Seattle hasn’t figured out how to play in the rain.

Next week, it’s the cure for what ails pretty much every team they play: the Atlanta Falcons. No rain in a dome! Or, whatever they call their weird stadium now.
