UTSA leading Arizona 14-13.  For those that don't know, UTSA knocked off Houston last week. 
 
Don't judge me.  I can't even make it through commercials without getting antsy for football.

Quick passes to whoever Maxwell is covering seems to be the gameplan now.
 
Yep.  That's a tactic you'll likely see most teams try to employ, I think.  Until Seattle stops it.  Which probably won't take that long.

GB's d just looked awful. Holy smokes, how do you whiff that bad on a read option? Did the entire team forget that you can still throw the ball as long as you are behind the line of scrimmage?

Wait, that's not Lockett.  That's the French one, Lockette.  Totally different guy.
 
This is like one of the first 40 images you get when you Google "Lockette".

The fact that Seattle gets Wilson for 705k this year is criminal.

How the hell did Seattle get Lynch for a 4th and a conditional (that became a 5th)?
 
Not many remember, mostly because it's the Bills, but Buffalo drafted a record 12 consecutive running backs in the first round between 1997-2008. Detroit later tried to follow this disastrous path of non success only with wide receivers.
 
Both were highly effective.

Plus Lynch wasn't very good in Buffalo and really wasn't all that good in Seattle until the beastquake. IIRC his YPC that season was like 3.7
