Well, there probably aren't a lot of happy Seattle Seahawks fans after that second half.

The first half was decent, showing some upside as the Seahawks briefly took the lead, but an abysmal second half was enough to make this game look like an extremely lopsided affair if you look at nothing other than the box score. 

The Seahawks died in the most important area during the second half; offense. That is one of the biggest reasons why they lost.

The numbers are just impossibly bad. Three total yards in the second half is almost bad enough to get someone fired. 

Something like this can't happen. Geno Smith is athletic. The wide receiver room is practically second to none. The Seahawks beat themselves with bad play-calls, drops, miscues, and poor blocking, and all of that showed itself in the ugliest way possible in the second half.

One bad half of football was enough to turn this game into a blowout and to create some questions about whether or not this team is actually a playoff contender.

The real answer is that yes, this team can still be very good down the road if they can get this issue under control, but it is a very concerning start.

Bad offenses don't win in the modern NFL. The Seahawks need to make a dramatic change before next week.
