Its only offensive touchdown came on the final drive of the opener against Miami.

“I never could have thought that we would go the first couple weeks and not score but one touchdown”, coach Pete Carroll said after the Rams game. “I just ran it down”. Russell [Wilson] came out well and he feels pretty good, and we’ll move ahead with the intention that we have got to get better. The last time the Rams wore their throwback uniforms was throughout the 1999 season, when they went 13-3 and won the Super Bowl. “But at the end of the day, we had to put it behind us because the game was over”. Quinn recorded a fumble-producing sack to end the first half.
To be fair, the Seahawks always lose to the Rams.
ESPN’s Sheil Kapadia says the mounting injuries, including Russell Wilson’s high ankle sprain, are something to be concerned about.
Sunday’s game was the first National Football League regular season contest at the Coliseum since 1994. “We’re not far off at all”.
It was the only third down Seattle converted in all of the second half, the Seahawks failing on their next four attempts. Brissett was 6 of 9 for 92 yards. Wide receiver Kenny Britt’s 94 yards on 6 receptions was the highlight of the Rams’ offense. “And we just found ourselves, by our own doings, we found ourselves in a bunch of third-and-longers”. I think he’s really going to get better and more efficient. So that was an unusual game in that regard. Goff practiced with the first-team offense more often during the week, but has yet to make his regular-season debut. Despite the precautions, a collision in practice led to the league reviewing tape from the practice and issuing the penalties.
Carroll confirmed that an incident involving two players – a receiver and a defensive back – who collided and bumped heads led to the investigation.
Both parties agreed that Seattle had violated the “no-live-contact” rule – a breach of the NFL-NFLPA collective bargaining agreement.
The Seahawks previously were disciplined for excessive on-field physical contact during its 2014 mandatory minicamp. “With sport, we love our team because of things that happened years and years ago”, he said.
“Satisfied? No. I’m trying to win”, Graham said. “But they’ve got to do what they’ve got to do”, Carroll said. “We’re going in the right direction, but we have a lot of work to do”. “We have made some strong efforts to do that, but we are still working at it”.
Now losers in four of their last five against the Rams, the Seahawks were banged up all around, which contributed to just the 3 points scored all game.
Carroll will continue to try to wring out every drop of preparation from his players allowable by the NFL. We felt like we were intact for the running game. Today, they took some baby steps in achieving that. Seattle isn’t planning any lineup changes in the interim. He couldn’t run the ball and had a very tough time scrambling out of the pocket. However, the Seahawks are really excited about the possibilities presented by Ifedi’s return. “He looks to be like a tremendous factor for us”.
“We are looking to see if we get Germain back”. They’re an active group.

Aside from scattered Todd Gurley No. 30 jerseys in the crowd, it was hard to spot a player from the current roster, a sad testament to the state of the franchise. His availability will be determined on a week-by-week basis. As Wilson extends a play, Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse and Tyler Lockett have shown a knack at finding the open pockets that develop and giving Wilson options downfield once defenses break down.
