Said the same thing to my folks last night. We were hitting them in the mouth in the first quarter. Robert gets going with one more touchdown and we make it tougher for Seattle to come back. We held them pretty good for three quarters.

Agreed wholeheartedly here. I was thinking the same thing when he threw that INT. He's usually pretty accurate with the longball. I think the series before he started missing his targets and I kinda was upset. Soon as he threw that INT, I knew it was gonna be a long night.

They sure did. They kept the team in it when Seattle clearly had momentum. They produced turnovers and made some stops. The offense just couldn't get it done. Still need some major upgrades to the secondary as well as we should start thinking about drafting a good replacement for London Fletcher.
