Geno Smith gets the ball on 3rd down looking at a tiny, distant first down marker.
Much noise was made during the Seattle Seahawks overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams about the offense’s inability to gain a yard on those last 3rd-and-4th downs. The ball turned over and ultimate the Rams drove the field to win. That moment sucked, sure. However, it’s not third or fourth down that’s been the real issue for the Hawks. It’s the first two downs. As it stands, Seattle is well on their way to being the worst early-down offense in over 40 years. 8.9 yards? That’s like...
Right now the team leads the NFL in penalties with 75 and is 2nd on offense with 46. Here’s a crazy stat, and sincere apologies if it’s been passed around already: It’s a 55-20 home-road split. They’re far, far worse at home in discipline. Geno Smith has also been sacked a league-worst 21 times on early downs. In short, it’s yet another picture of what fans have watched all season.
