Several key players are gone from their defense. Last year they only gave up 30 or more points once (regular season and post season combined)...this year already twice. And both happen to be losses.
The idea that trading Percy Harvin has anything to do with it is IMO ridiculous he's only played 5 or 6 games for them in 2 years.

Bryant, Clemons, and who else?

Browner the CB who started opposite Sherman
Clinton McDonald rotational DT who had 5.5 sacks.
Walter Thurmond who saw a bunch of time in their nickel D and had a few starts last year

And don't forget about Golden Tate on offense.

Quote:Yeah because he was so important last year en route to the SB
Now that the defense isn't as good as it used to be, the ability to put up more points is more important.
Let's not forget that he was a big contributor in the Superbowl.

They put up the same kind of points as an offense with or without Harvin.

They have less talent then last year's Super Bowl winning team.
Every team gets up to play the defending SB Champs.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

Less talent yes, but enough talent to where they should look tons better than what they do.

Maybe so, but they are what their record says they are at this time, an average team.
Seattle has some problems right now and they will have to work those out if they want to defend their SB title.
There are many reason why SB champs have a hard time repeating the next season and Seattle is finding that out at this time.

Browner was suspended last season and cut before the playoffs, so he does not count.
If it is that bad to lose a rotational lineman with less than six sacks, five games without Andre Branch will be harder than I thought.
Why did the Seahawks let any defensive players walk? Do they have salary cap problems?

Browner wasn't cut he was suspended, the Seahawks opted not to resign him though.
Losing McDaniel wouldn't be too significant if he was all they lost up front. As mentioned earlier they also lost Clemons and Bryant, the combination of those 3 being gone reduces the effectiveness of their D-Line.
Their D-Line was so good last year because they had good starters (like Bryant & Clemons) but they also had solid rotational guys (like McDaniel) to keep the pressure on the QB.
I have no idea about their cap situation.

Hopefully the Gus Juice is finally wearing off. Takes two years to wax on, two years to wax off. One can hope.

Harvin is of no consequence, though he did have a key play or two in the Superbowl. They still would have been there and probably won without him.
They just got hot at the right time last year.
Good team, but not one I would expect to be perennial contenders for the Bowl.

I live in the Seattle area now and all my friends say it's the play calling. They are getting away from their identity of running and using the run to set up the pass.

You can say that again.
