Sunday night won't go into a Seattle Seahwks' "Best of 2015" video, on a team or individual basis. Against Arizona, for the fourth time this season, they lost a game after holding a fourth-quarter lead (in their fifth loss, they were leading late in the third quarter). Quarterback Russell Wilson completed less than 50 percent of his passes (14-for-32) for 240 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.
Sometime late in the first half, as Wilson was going 5-for-12 in the opening quarters and Seattle was falling into a 22-7 hole, Doug Hendrickson, the agent for Marshawn Lynch, tweeted – and then deleted – a tweet to Wilson.
Hendrickson deleted it, but not before it was saved:
It wasn't that Hendrickson was wrong, since Wilson did not play well for much of Sunday night and lots of Seahawks fans probably said similar things or worse as they watched from their seats at CenturyLink Stadium or in front of their televisions. But in his position, it wasn't professional.
Plus, while Lynch had just eight carries for 42 yards on the night, on the season, he is averaging a pedestrian 3.8 yards per carry (417 yards on 111 carries), though he has missed time with a hamstring injury, and was placed on the injury report late last week with an abdominal issue.
This isn't the first time this season someone close to Lynch has been critical of the Seahawks: in the wake of the team's Week 1 loss in St. Louis, his mother, Delisa, went on Facebook and called for offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell to be fired
