Seahawks News: Takeaways from Seahawks’ opening season win, Darnold injury
Field Gulls • • sports
Key Points:
- The Seahawks scored only 13 points in their recent game, which is below the NFL average of 22-23 points per game and generally insufficient to win.
- Despite the low score, the second half showed promise as the team nearly scored 21 points, hindered only by penalties that negated a touchdown and reduced a scoring opportunity to a field goal.
- The first half struggles were attributed to losing the starting quarterback, Week 1 communication issues with the new coordinator and backup QB, and pre-snap penalties, all of which are expected to improve.
- The coach is optimistic that with quarterback Geno Smith (referred to as Lock) moving forward, the offense can consistently score at least 20 points per game and potentially 27+ points in the upcoming game against the Cardinals.
- Overall, the second half performance and clear areas for improvement provide a positive outlook for the Seahawks' offensive potential this season.
