I don’t understand these dumbass coaches sometimes. It’s the old joke “doctor, it hurts when I do this.”
THEN DON’T FUCKING DO THAT DUMBASS!
This kind of shit pisses me off. This noodge at NFL.com should be paying ME part of whatever he got for this story.

The Seattle Seahawks ran into a brick wall in the form of the Dallas Cowboys defense. And they kept running into it over and over and over and over in a 24-22 loss.
The Seahawks' brand of run, run, pass game scripts worked well against some mediocre defenses during the regular season. It got destroyed against a good D in the playoffs. Yet, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and coach Pete Carroll kept banging their head against the wall.
Seahawks running backs attempted 21 rushes on the night for 59 yards, 2.8 yards per carry. Outside of one Rashaad Penny 28-yard scamper, the crew was completely held in check. Take out that lone long dash (which was immediately followed by a run for -7 yards by the rookie), and Seattle running backs earned 31 yards on their other 20 attempts, 1.55 yards per carry. Lead back Chris Carson got bottled up better than ketchup, generating 20 yards on 13 attempts, 1.5 YPC, with a long run of five yards.
With a ground-heavy approach, the Seahawks generated six three-and-outs on the night, including their first three drives of the game.
.....It's one thing to have a run-centric game plan. It's another not to adjust in-game when it's not working.
BETTER be a playoff win in 2022.
