Okay I just saw the video. It's the 5th one down on the right side here:

Yeah, I would say Carson was responsible for that one. He lost his focus because of the defender in the backfield and he was late clutching at the football out of Russell's hand.
was gonna say, i think Carson figures he could have protected the ball better on both of them...but they won

Getting victory huge today. Happy to be 2-0, but I'm not overly impressed with this team. The Oline and secondary are struggling way worse then i thought they would out of the gate
Line adjusted second half and 180 passing is struggling?

Russell Wilson's average time to throw today was 1.89 seconds. That's the fastest average time to throw game (min. 14 attempts) since EJ Manuel in Week 4 of 2017 (also 1.89), per NFL Next Gen Stats.

Was that Wilson getting rid of the ball out of necessity or was it the play-calling?
Play calling.

I find interesting is RW sticking with the play...what we are missing I think is the RW pulling the ball back down and deciding to improvise.

Let's hope they keep doing this, but I'm fully expecting the Seahawks to go back to the slow developing pass plays to start off against the Saints. Schottenheimer is a slow learner.

Why do RB not use 2 hands with the ball. Never understood that. Priority should always be protect the ball. Hopefully we get some healthy bodies back for next week.
Because they can't run as fast

If you secure the ball properly you won't fumble. It's a concentration thing. What's bad for Carson going forward if the defenders think you are going to cough it up they can be very tenacious. Carson has to really focus or it could get ugly.

Just so glad the Seahawks won.

You're missing a good Mariner game now. Ivan Nova is hurling a 2-hit shutout against the M's right now.

Justus Sheffield is out-dueling Nova, however!

Just sayin' ...
The Mariners? Who are they?
I forget. Been too long adrift, lost at sea, a wayward mariner with very little hope. Drinkin' the salty seawater. No shade. Storms. Delusional..........
Rocky Colavito is a Hall of Famer in my book!
