The Seahawks quarterback, Geno Smith, spoke on the team’s startling lack of offensive touchdowns after losing to the 49ers 31–13 on Thanksgiving Day.
The Seattle Seahawks should have been able to temporarily forget their problems by cramming their faces with Thanksgiving food. But they have to start working on improving the offense right away at the next session, as it was once again ineffective in a 31-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Due to a right elbow ailment, Geno Smith was doubtful going into the Week 12 divisional matchup. He struggled to mount many successful drives. He completed 18 of 27 passes for 180 yards, one interception, and no touchdowns to extend Seattle’s startlingly poor offensive run.
Since losing to the Los Angeles Rams last weekend, the Seahawks have failed to score a touchdown in seven straight quarters. Whoa. Smith accepted full responsibility, rejected the idea that his health contributed to Thursday’s problems, and expressed a strong vote of confidence in the group.
According to ESPN’s Brady Henderson, the 2022 Pro Bowler stated, “I still believe in our coaches.” “I still have faith in our athletes. We’ve had a difficult run, in my opinion, but I have hope that things will get better.
Can Seahawks QB Geno Smith ‘turn things around,’ yet again?
While Smith is voicing all the appropriate concerns, some supporters worry that offensive coordinator Shane Waldron is failing to adequately address the issue. A key component of Pete Carroll’s teams, Seattle’s running game is significantly impacted by an injured Kenneth Walker III. Points might continue to be scarce if he is unable to regain his full health.
In addition to leading the underappreciated Seahawks to the postseason, Geno Smith turned in one of the most unexpected quarterback seasons in recent memory and cemented his place as an NFL starter. The campaign for 2023–24 has not gone as well. As of right now, he has 2,584 yards throwing, 12 touchdowns, 8 interceptions, and a worrisome QBR of 50.6.
However, the current CPOTY winner has already brought his career back to life once, so perhaps he can do the same for this struggling 6-5 team.
