Except that Tyler Badie gets in for one play in the 2nd quarter against the Steelers, has the best run that the team has had in two games (16 yards, and looked like he actually wanted to be there), and then doesn't get another snap.
You can obviously argue that they're not a good team. But they're not as bad as they've looked through the first two weeks. Four months from now, they're not going to have averaged 265 total yards a game on offense. Their best RB is not going to finish the season with 300 yards rushing (the current pace). Whether he's a starting-caliber NFL QB or not, Bo Nix isn't going to finish the season with 3000 yards, 0 TDs, and 34 INTs (his current pace).
It's hard, at this point, to even know what to be angry about - other than "all of it." (Actually, the special teams has looked great - so there's that.) And I'd still rather watch this - whatever this is - than Russell Wilson incapable of throwing anything between the hashmarks, and bailing on every pocket that isn't perfectly formed. But it's not good.

It starts at the top. Payton and Paton are ****ing awful at their jobs respectively. You have next to no high end talent on that roster besides Surtain and maybe Meinerz.
I genuinely think they should shut Nix down for the year and throw Stidham or Wilson into the fire. Leaving him out there with this awful cast of weapons and poorly performing OL will permanently damage any miniscule chance he has of being anything at the NFL level.
On a personal note, wanted to extend my sympathies for your friend that passed away. From what I've gleaned it sounded like it was sudden and shocking. Genuinely sorry to hear that.
