Let's also not forget that Gus Bradley and Dan Quinn are both gone as well. Their old DB coach that was promoted is very green, and the step up from position coach to a coordinator position doesn't always translate well. He has a lot of talent to work with, but nothing like what they had just 2-3 years ago.
After 4 games, Seattle is ranked #2 in yards allowed per game (279 yards).
They give up only 190 yards passing per game. They did play Clausen, they also played Rodgers.
They are tied for 3rd in points allowed (17.8)
It is a fact no TD's allowed since Cam returned.
The Bears offense was struggling no doubt, but the Lions offense has a ton of weapons including Calvin Johnson and they shut them down.
Fans can choose to down play this all they want, but the Seattle defense is playing as well in 2015 as they were in 2014 and 2013 after 4 games.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
