The Seattle Seahawks won. That is all one really needs to know, one imagines. The problem is that even though Seattle won 24-3 against an extremely diminished Miami Dolphins team Seattle should have won by quite a bit more. Seattle’s offense basically took two quarters off which it cannot afford to do moving forward.
The Dolphins suffered a number of injuries even during the game though they were already without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Then, during the game, Miami lost backup Skylar Thompson. Sure, Miami did not score without Thompson, but the issue was not the Seahawks’ defense; it was the inconsistency of the offense.
This has been the story in the first three games of the season. Seattle started relatively slowly in Week 1 against the Denver Broncos and in Week 2 against the New England Patriots. In Week 3, Seattle got off to a much better start, scoring 17 points in the first quarter, but then did not score again until the fourth quarter…
