The preseason game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Chicago Bears was billed as two potential playoff teams. It turned out to be an exhibition in how to beat your opponent into submission, with the Bears playing the role as the victim.
The Seahawks hit on every cylinder and turned in a complete game against a worthy opponent. In fact I was impressed with the Bears first offensive drive and felt like this was going to be the challenge the Seahawks needed to get them primed for the regular season. Goodness knows they aren’t going to get it next week in Oakland (no offense Raiders fans).
However, with all of these accolades I can still find things that concern me. In all honesty I know I am splitting hairs and nitpicking the product the Seahawks are putting on the field. I really should be happy with what they are doing. But, it is not in my nature just to sit back and look through my rose-colored glasses at the world. So here are my three biggest concerns.
