I don't know if the Seahawks should invest a good chunk of draft capital acquiring Robert Griffin III. I don't know if Pete Carroll and John Schneider would want to go so far out of their way to...

Seahawks vs. Bengals Preview: Quarterback Uncertainty, Controlling the Football, and Appreciating Coming Home
Each week, Pro Football Focus takes a quick look back at each of the game's that took place in the previous week and analyzes them. Their review of the Seahawks vs. Browns game is now live.
At the snap of the ball, my eyes were glued on safety T.J. Ward as I saw him come free from the slot on a third-down play near the start of the second quarter. Ward's presence made an impact on Whitehurst just in time as the ball came free and linebacker D'Qwell Jackson was able to scoop it up for the recovery.
Can the Seahawks Make the Loss in Cleveland Count?
I thought the Seahawks vs. Browns game would be the epitome of ineptitude when it came to offense for Week 7, but then again, I guess you could say that the Oakland Raiders and Baltimore Ravens (!) were much worse off than Cleveland was.
Alex Smith finished the game with 1 catch for 13 yards. That catch came in the third quarter on a third-down play, so moving the chains (which eventually led to Cleveland's game-winning field goal) was a plus, but not enough to get the game ball. Smith gets the game ball for somehow getting under the skin of defensive lineman Red Bryant.
Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur spoke with the media following the team's 6-3 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. I have pulled several of his quotes from the press conference transcript and have highlighted them after the jump.
Seahawks-Browns Shootout Barnburner Proves Both Teams Are Still In Rebuild Mode
This was a game that was as bad as you can get on offense as the Cleveland Browns came away with a 6-3 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, improving their record to 3-3 on the season. A win is a win, but this team needs to be further along than this on offense. If we had faced anyone else in the NFL today, we probably would have lost.
Another bad third quarter for the Browns as they Colt McCoy ended a good drive with an interception and the defense had a couple of lapses to finally allow the Seahawks into field goal range. The Seahawks kicked the field goal to tie things at 3-3, and that's where we stand heading into the fourth quarter.
