​Surprise, surprise. A Schottenheimer choked in a playoff game.





​Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, son of notorious playoff disappointment Marty Schottenheimer, created a truly horrific gameplan that rendered star quarterback Russell Wilson ineffective and allowed a struggling Cowboys offense to come away with a ​24-22 win .





While the Seahawks did come into the game with the top-ranked rushing offense in the ​NFL, those numbers were a product of Seattle running the ball more than any other team. Even though they have a star quarterback who was playing exceptional football, Schottenheimer was committed to gaining one yard on a dive up the middle on first and second down.

Seahawks fans, we're going to have a long talk about Brian Schottenheimer.

Seattle doesn't have Blake Bortles or Case Keenum at QB.

This is Russell Wilson.

One of the worst called games w a good QB I can remember. — Warren Sharp (@SharpFootball) January 6, 2019

Again, their quarterback is RUSSELL FREAKING WILSON.





Despite having a proverbial Lamborghini in the driveway with Wilson, Seattle was content with rolling out the Honda Accord that was Chris Carson for the majority of the game. Carson had just 20 yards on 13 carries, and didn't record a run longer than five yards. The biggest gains came when Wilson bailed out Schottenheimer with one of his trademark improvised big plays.





Jets and Rams fans know this pain all to well. Schottenheimer's offenses seemingly feature two types of throws: a screen to a wide receiver (which is usually poorly designed and executed) and a bomb deep downfield. If Schottenheimer didn't have his dad's last name, he isn't in the NFL.

​​The Seahawks can't claim to be serious about winning a championship while giving Schottenheimer control of the offense. He has to go if Seattle wants to keep pace with the rest of the NFC.
