ITI: Is Russell Wilson the reason this team is still winning or are you seeing a drop off? How satisfied is the Seahawks fan base with Wilson and the offense?

12th Man Rising: Russell Wilson is completely and absolutely the reason this team is still winning. The Seahawks defense is still top-ten, even with all the injuries, but do you remember when the Indianapolis Colts lost Peyton Manning for the season in 2011? They went from nine straight playoff appearances to 2 – 14.

As Michael Bennett said earlier, the Seahawks couldn’t win a game without Wilson. Well, maybe two. Considering the complete lack of running game and an offensive line that isn’t very good, Wilson is having an incredible season. The fanbase loves Wilson. As for the offense, most would be happy to see offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell go. The Seahawks best plays always seem to be when Wilson is creating on the fly.
