Seattle's offensive scheme wasn't the problem

Seattle's offensive scheme wasn't the problem

That is true for more than just Sunday's game against the Giants. The first half of this season have shown clearly that it wasn't Seattle's offense that was limiting Russell Wilson.

Russell Wilson was not being held back by Seattle’s offense.

I believe this can be stated declaratively at this point without equivocation or attribution. We’re all seeing it, and this is a surprise not just because there were so many people — the quarterback included — who believed his strengths were being muted under Pete Carroll, but because in professional football it is exceedingly rare to have such an important, big-picture question answered as definitively as this one has been.
