An Embarrassment in Seattle

The Seahawks completely and totally embarrassed themselves at home in CenturyLink Field on Sunday afternoon. In the most important game of the season they completely and totally failed in all three phases of the game and got their assess handed to them by the Rams. The score was 34-0 at half time and if the Rams had kept trying they could have easily scored 70. Runningback Todd Gurley was free to head where ever he wanted. The Rams vaunted D line destroyed the Seahawks; recording  seven sacks and holding Seahawk's runningbacks to 49 yards. This was the worst performance by the Seahawks at any time in Pete Carroll's tenure as head coach. None of the Seattle players should show their faces in the city this week.

The team's complete and total failure on Sunday was unacceptable. Ownership should be furious. It is one thing to lose and important to a conference rival, but to get devastated like the Seahawks is something else entirely. The teams should refund all of the fans who attended the game. These fans paid three figures to attend a football game. A certain level of effort and quality should be provided. Issuing a refund isn't unprecedented. The Seattle Sounders FC did it in 2010 after getting embarrassed by the LA Galaxy. Seattle needs to make amends to their loyal fans for such a piss-poor performance.
