Here's the mega-thread on Russell Wilson's concerning performance versus the New York Giants.
Seattle's QB wasn't the lone problem last Sunday. Other Seahawks executed poorly; certain calls didn't work.
However, Wilson was the biggest issue. My analysis on 21 plays below

However, Wilson was the biggest issue. My analysis on 21 plays below
*V1*
Opener. Nub + Tyler Lockett shift tells Wilson zone.
Bear spacing forces BOB protection. Ethan Pocic bullrushed.
Quick game MFO beater. RW didn't expect boundary curl dropper for seam; checks down. Fine but context important, curls will reappear

Lockett shift from back tells Wilson 2 hi zone.
Metcalf has dig window (but it's a post) and RW sees Middle Run Thru LB opening that way. Designed for Lockett out-n-up.
Great, difficult honey hole throw. Context important, digs + MRT reappear

Hyde shift tells Wilson 1 hi man.
Wilson holds fingers up for hot routes.
1 blitzer comes off left. Cover 0. Wilson must throw hot to the correctly adjusted Hollister. Wilson fails to ID.
Result: D encouraged to blitz, 2nd and 5? v 2nd and 10...

2nd and 10. Maybe because of the DK window in *V2*, Wilson bullets to David Moore's nod InCut/"dover?"
Odd front w/sugared guards - RW expecting pressure? Instead it's Drop 8 Quarters. RW didn't feel this+wanted DM PreSnap. Nice to see anticipation

Drive 2 opener
RW deciding on play. Ni tipped blitz pre-snap. Maybe RW saw it, maybe not - SEA isn't averse to running into certain blitzes
Duane Brown didn't know Hyde shifted back. He blocked IZ left, everyone else IZ right. DB got annoyed at RW

Moore's motion + nub tells Wilson 2 hi zone.
PA Waggle post-wheel
Metcalf nestled in the zone hole, timed well
Cloud CB is held by Moore's wheel
RW scared of Cloud CB?
RW scared of MRT LB opening to his eyes + getting under it?
Checks down for 4

PA heavy protect w/the 2 curls, it's a nice play v off
QQH
RW wants Freddie Swain, frightened about MRT opening that way
Comes back to DK, open behind+outside curl + beneath QTRs
DK waiting for ball, works back to QB as RW throws to his old spot

SEA tried to get a tunnel screen to DK on this 3rd and 2. An easy and quick YAC play from UC w/inside run attached. Seahawks had the look out wide: leverage advantage + Duane Brown got out there.
Wilson fumbled the snap from Ethan Pocic. Turnover.

Drive5 opener
Nub told RW zone
3D3U Ni blitz
PA max pro, Martinez H3 under TL
DK's blaze out a nice 1v1 beater vs. off CB. Seahawks get 18 yards
RW throws it late. Anticipation? Afraid of H2 or just wanting to ensure catch? Time almost runs out

0.24 2ndQ 1st and 15
Drop 8, 2man. Extra guy plays like a robber, gets in initial DK window
DK reads middle field open, breaks there. RW throws it to the sideline because? Intentional grounding
RW has pocket to move up in even w/Pocic bullrushed

2nd and 7. Perfect pre-snap RPO call from Schotty
Seahawks have 3v1 (immediately), quick throwing behind a Ni blitz. WR screen could have gone to the house
RW scared of blitz, chucks it high + behind Lockett. TL fumbles at end. Gain limited to 5

2D5U SimPress. Invert 2 to WS. Slot Match/MRT from Peppers to SS
RW sped up+never sees Swain open dig behind trips cloud CB
RW thinks man? Stares at Metcalf banana route, covered by 1/2 CB

RW has TL hitch open behind+outside curl
RW small pump to try move curl
RW looks to check down. Double pumps Carson (scared of tall DL) ball tipped+INT. TL looks to see why he didn't get ball

Intermediate 2 high zone-beaters from SEA. Looking to switch release and high-low conflict the CB frontside.
Wilson has Moore's corner route with more anticipation. But he waits, scared of the cloud CB. Allows CB to sink.
Checks it down=9 yards

Trips. #3+#2 hitch. Could be a 4 verts sight adjustment? 2hi zone. Wilson reading the MRT LB and thinking he has the window w/the hips opening. Martinez breaks, as does the strong curl. Dissly drop with 2 on him. #3 to #2 might be a better read...

1st and 10. Last drive. The way NYG aligns to trips suggests man. Drop8 2man, extra guy is a spy
Lockett's stutter down the open middle field gets separation
RW wants Swain outnup - sweet route. RW overthrows it in honey hole, shoulda been picked

RW knows he's getting zone because nub 3x1. Tampa 2 invert
Similar deal to *V19*
RW looking for #3 hitch, curl+curl converge - ball falls incomplete
More of a design thing, but reading 2to3 better? And gives you more chance of honey hole access?

There's more to it than Wilson playing bad. (This thread has 21 plays; SEA's offense had 72 snaps)
NYG had an excellent plan that kept RW skittish (3cloud to DK was mean). Intermediate PA routes were too shallow. Schotty should have run more. Run game had some terrible execution
