Which offenses have improved, regressed - NFC West Blog - ESPN
The Seattle Seahawks are averaging 35 fewer yards and 3.2 fewer point per game this season. They were not very good on offense last season.

Seattle Seahawks Blog - Hawk Blogger: Golden Tate Making Most Of His Chances
Golden Tate spent a fair amount of time in the news last season for all the wrong reasons. There was The Great Donut Caper, being made inactive for the team's first game, underwhelming coaches and fans when he did play, and various Twitter Troubles. Pete Carroll built him up in the off-season, telling the media they would make a more concerted effort to get him the ball this year. Tate responded with a pre-season that had some fans wondering if he would even make the squad. Since then, Tate has been used sparingly. He is so quiet, some fans have forgotten him entirely. There is reason to believe that represents real growth.
