The Seahawks fell to 3-8 during the season with a 17-15 loss to the Washington football team on Monday night as problems continued to mount for coach Pete Carroll’s team.

Seahawks lose: Highlights | 4 major concerns | Rost on the hawks

As we do after every Seahawks game, we’ve gathered instant feedback from 710 ESPN Seattle’s voices. See what they have to say below and tune in on Tuesday for full Seahawks coverage starting with The Mike Salk Show at 6 a.m. and The Pete Carroll Show at 9:30 a.m.

Honestly, I don’t know what I just saw. It was really unrecognizable (well, apart from the final drive), at least offensively. The defense was good. He did a good job despite being on the pitch all night. But it wasn’t an NFL offense, let alone an offense with an elite franchise quarterback and some of the best guns in the league. It was… putrid.

We’ve seen the Seahawks get dominated by a defensive line that chokes them under pressure – losses to the Rams and Packers stand out. We’ve seen them injure themselves with self-inflicted injuries, penalties, and substitution errors. But we’ve never seen them look so utterly lost, so utterly unanswered.

That loss was different as much of it fell on the coaching staff who couldn’t conceive of an attack capable of getting the ball to their playmakers and a quarterback who couldn’t pick the open catcher and often missed. tall and wide when he did.

It was shocking to see Russell Wilson lying like this. And while his finger injury and new attacking pattern are clearly part of the problem, they don’t explain the whole story. I think no one knows for sure what we’re watching and why it’s turned so far south, but it doesn’t look like the show we’ve been watching for a decade, and now it’s nearly impossible to imagine all of them. the main characters return for another sequel.

Wash, rinse, repeat. That’s what this season has been like, week after week. Absolutely nothing has changed.

The offense is an absolute disaster! Honestly, I don’t even know what to say about what’s going on with this offense anymore except I don’t care what Russell Wilson says about his welfare – that finger is a problem. While the Seahawks made it interesting late in the game, that offense is broken. Russell and Chris Carson’s injuries certainly play a part, but they were struggling before these two got injured. Amazing that they’ve gone from a franchise record in points scored last season to now looking like a bunch of guys playing together for the very first time.

The defense, while having great moments in the game, cannot go out of the field. As much as the lack of offense contributes to their problems, the defense does very little to help themselves with the disparity in possession time. They gave up on an opening practice at the Cardinals last week which lasted 9:27 am, so the excuse of fatigue doesn’t fly there. The second practice of the game for Washington tonight lasted 9:25 a.m. Again, fatigue is most likely an issue later in the game, but it happens long before it’s a valid excuse.

The bottom line is, they’re just not a good team. The rest of this season is an audition for everyone involved!

Just a frustrating night in DC as playoff hopes came to an end for the Seahawks.

Heading into final practice, the Hawks had had just five first downs and less than 200 yards on offense overall. They can’t throw the ball without Chris Carson and for some reason Shane Waldron’s offensive playbook is handing out DK Metcalf. No excuse for not giving him the ball.

Russell Wilson looked terrible until this last practice, but it was a game against a 4-6 team with a backup QB that made mistakes to keep you in the game. The last goal try was certainly fun, but like everything else this season, it was short.

For the first time in more than a decade, the Seahawks are playing the rope for two months. There were obviously major mistakes made in building this team and the coaching staff. It’s going to be interesting to see how the franchise reacts to this, but it sure looks like it’s time to tear it down and try something new. I do not know what it is.

The late touchdown makes the result seem tight but make no mistake, the offense is irrevocably broken. A streak of five consecutive three-and-outs, which lasted most of the second half, crippled any chance of making it a game, let alone winning when the defense held on for most of the game. this sequence.

No first-half goal for DK Metcalf is confusing, especially against a WFT team that came into the game 30th for passing yards allowed at 270 yards per game. It also seems so difficult every time for the offense to just pick up 10 yards, which is another headache when you have two powerful receivers, a good tight end in Gerald Everett and a capable running back in Alex Collins. The running of the ball set up the first touchdown practice, but the Seahawks running backs finished with just 10 total transfers to the running backs. Of course, there wasn’t a lot of room, but do 10 carries in total allow for enough sample size or enough balance to soften that defense?

It was just like last week, and the week before, when possession time was so strongly in favor of the opponent that by the time the fourth quarter ended, the defense had nothing left to do the duration of the field. Last week it was a season low of 19:38 in possession time, until it was quickly beaten this week with a new low of 18:20. Perhaps it’s not all that surprising that DK Metcalf was barely targeted – the Seahawks’ offense was never on the ground! WFT played 79 games against 45 for the Seahawks, while Seattle had just 10 first tries (including five on the final disc) against 27 for the football team.

There could be a lot of factors at play, but something is clearly wrong with Russell Wilson. Another couple of reversals tonight with just not seeing the receivers that were open. It’s so rare and out of character, but there seems to be a hesitation and unease for Wilson in the pocket that we’ve never seen before. The offense will clearly only play out like Russell Wilson, and for now everything is stuck.

Change the record.

What can we say now? A single first try and getting beaten (again) 2: 1 in possession just won’t do it in any NFL game, let alone with some shattered RBs and hoping that the backups on your offensive line provide. enough to give Russell the time he needed to piece together a win for his 33rd birthday. But it wasn’t Russell Wilson. At least not the one I remember.

This Seahawks offense was already crackling like an ’80s Nissan pickup in midwinter, but it’s officially a different dimension of “uncharted territory” in Pete Carroll’s day.

Give credit to the Seahawks’ defense. He gave chance after chance and made big plays as needed to keep the score close to a possession, but the spirit can only last so long before the gas runs out. Jamal’s interception in the first half followed by an immediate deep ball for Lockett was magnificent, but it all ended with an Alex Collins fumble in the next play and the offense never really recovered . Punt, punt, punt, punt and another punt followed. Fast forward to the exciting 2 minute exercise with a failed conversion and that’s all we have. Game over.

It’s like we’re praising Shane Waldron and the Seahawks in the first six quarters of the season, but we all know it’s not sustainable and something has to give. Change the record. Find a new dance partner. Buy a new truck. Something.
